Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio frequencies. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with Class A FCC limits.
Canadian Emissions Requirements
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital appa-
ratus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003
of the Department of Communications.
Cet appareil numerique respecte les limites de bruits radioelectriques applicables aux appareils nume-
riques de Class A prescrites dans la norme sur le materiel brouilleur: “Appareils Numeriques,”
NMB-003 edictee par le Ministre des Communications.
Change or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

factured by ADTRAN will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. ADTRAN also war-
rants that products will conform to the applicable specifications and drawings for such products, as
contained in the Product Manual or in ADTRAN's internal specifications and drawings for such prod-
ucts (which may or may not be reflected in the Product Manual). This warranty only applies if Cus-
tomer gives ADTRAN written notice of defects during the warranty period. Upon such notice,
ADTRAN will, at its option, either repair or replace the defective item. If ADTRAN is unable, in a rea-
sonable time, to repair or replace any equipment to a condition as warranted, Customer is entitled to a
full refund of the purchase price upon return of the equipment to ADTRAN. This warranty applies
only to the original purchaser and is not transferable without ADTRAN's express written permission.

Chapter 1 Introduction
OCTAL E&M MODULE OVERVIEW
The Octal E&M Module is a member of the ATLAS 550 family of products.
It provides eight analog voice-grade interfaces, either 2-wire or 4-wire, for
use as tie-trunks using E&M signaling or as dedicated transmission only
(TO) interfaces for additional data services.
Functional Description
The Octal E&M Module installs in any available user option slot in the
ATLAS 550 chassis. Status information is available via the terminal menus,
accessible through either a VT-100 terminal connected to the ATLAS 550
control port or via a Telnet session established through the Base Unit’s
Ethernet port. Use the terminal menu to configure the Octal E&M Module
and to download application software upgrades.
Features
The features of the Octal E&M Module are listed below:
• Eight voice ports
• Selectable for 2-wire or 4-wire voice interface, per port
• E-lead originate
• E&M type I, I, III, IV, V plus TO mode, per port
• E&M type V can be used for Press-To-Talk (PTT) radio applications
• Resource Module connector
• Hot-swappable
• Flash download firmware

WIRING
Each module port has a single 8-pin modular jack. A suitable mating connec-
tor is AMP # 2-383021-5. The Octal E&M module is an E-lead originate sig-
naling circuit suitable for connection to an M-lead originate trunk circuit.
The pinout is shown in Table 2-1 and Table 2-2
POWER-UP AND INITIALIZATION
The Octal E&M Module requires no initialization input during the power-
up sequence. Any previously configured setting for the Octal E&M Module
is automatically restored upon power-up. See the ATLAS 550 User Manual
for more information about the power-up sequence.
Operation Alarms
The red ALARM LED (located with the Module LEDs on the front panel) il-
luminates when an alarm condition is detected.

Chapter 3 Operation
OVERVIEW
The Octal E&M Module is controlled by the ATLAS 550 Base Unit terminal
menu. The terminal menu allows for detailed configuration, status, and test-
ing of the Octal E&M Module.
Configuration of the Octal E&M Module is completed in twoareas of theter-
minal menu:
1. General configuration items for the Octal E&M-8 Voice Module are set
using MODULES/E&M-8 MENUS/CONFIG (see the Menu Tree in Figure 3-
2 on page 3-3).
2. Specific configuration items depend on how the option module is used
and is displayed in the DIAL PLAN menus (see Appendix A, Dial Plan
Interface Configuration on page A-1).
Access the terminal menu using either a VT-100 terminal attached to the
ATLAS 550 Base Unit’s control port or a Telnet session established through
the Base Unit’s Ethernet port. The ATLAS 550 User Manual provides detailed
instructions on each of these management approaches.
To edit items in the terminal menu, you must have the appropriate
password level. Each menu description in this section indicates
the password level required for write and read access. See “Access
Passwords” in the ATLAS 550 User Manual for detailed
information on working with passwords. Security level 0 users
can view and edit every available field. Security level 5 users can
view any field but cannot edit.

TERMINAL MENU STRUCTURE
The ATLAS 550 uses a hierarchical menu structure to provide access to all of
its features. The top-most menu level leads to submenus which are grouped
by functionality. All menu items display in the terminal window. To access
the Octal E&M Module, activate the MODULES menu. The Octal E&M Mod-
ule displays as E&M-8 under TYPE.
.
MODULES MENU The ATLAS 550 system controller automatically detects the presence of the
Octal E&M Module when it is installed in the system. To see the menus for
the Octal E&M Module via the terminal menu, use the arrow keys to scroll
to the MODULES menu and press Enter to access the module choices. Figure
3-1 shows the MODULES menu (see also the menu tree in Figure 3-2 on
page 3-3). The following sections describe all the MODULES menu options.

SLT Read security: 5
Displays the number of available slots in the ATLAS 550 chassis. Slot 0
refers to the ATLAS 550 unit. This field is read-only.
TYPE Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Displays the type of module currently installed in the slot or the type of
module you plan to install in the slot. If an Octal E&M Module is installed,
the TYPE field automatically defaults to E&M-8.
You can use this field to preconfigure a system before actually installing
modules by simply specifying the module that you want to install in each
slot. If you intentionally leave a slot empty, mark it as EMPTY to avoid get-
ting a NOT RESPONDING message.

MENU Displaysadditional status andconfiguration menus forthe selected module.
To access the submenus for this item, use the arrow keys to scroll to the
MENU column for the module you want to edit, and press Enter. For detailed
information on each submenu item, see the section Octal E&M Module Menu
Options on page 3-5.
ALARM Read security: 5
Displays an alarm condition on the module. Press Enter in this field to acti-
vate the menu.
TEST Read security: 5
Displays the test name if the module is executing a test. Press Enter in this
field to activate the menu. Tests include TEST 2W, TXABCD, 1KHZTONE,
and LOOPBACK. See Test on page 3-6 for a description of each test and its
options.
STATE Displays module status as either ONLINE or OFFLINE. Even though a module
is physically installed, it must be marked as ONLINE for it to be considered an
available resource. This parameter allows an installed module to be marked
as OFFLINE, which may be useful in system troubleshooting. If you choose
OFFLINE, the module will not be in alarm condition, and will display
OFFLINE.
STATUS This read-only field provides status information on the Octal E&M Module.
The following messages may display:
ONLINE The module is enabled, and is responding to the system controller’s status
polls. This is the normal response of the system.
NORESPONSE The module is enabled, but is not responding to the system controller’s sta-
tus polls. This response indicates either a problem in the system or that the
module is not installed.
EMPTY The system controller has not detected the presence of a module in the slot;
nor has a module been manually enabled for this option slot.
Once a module is installed, STATE must be set to ONLINE for the
ATLAS 550 to use the module for any data bandwidth.
The Atlas 550 ONLINE LED illuminates green when a call is active
on any of the voice parts.
