2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The Total Access 900e Series products are high-bandwidth Internet Protocol (IP) business gateways
designed for cost-effective deployment of up to 60 channels of Voice over IP (VoIP) services. The analog
and digital (T1 robbed bit signaling (RBS) and primary rate interface (PRI) trunks) voice interfaces
perform a gateway function into the service provider's VoIP network.
The last two digits of the product name indicate the number of on-board FXS ports. The Total Access 908e
contains 8 FXS ports, the Total Access 916e contains 16 FXS ports, and the Total Access 924e contains 24
FXS ports or 16 FXS ports plus 8 FXO ports with octal FXO daughterboard. The units can provision, test,
and provide status for any of the voice and data interfaces.
Total Access 900e Series products all run ADTRAN Operating System (AOS) application firmware and
include the AOS built-in IP router and firewall features. The units includes a VOICE interface (up to 24
foreign exchange station (FXS) ports or 16 FXS plus 8 foreign exchange office (FXO) ports), an optional
FXO trunk (FXO 0/0), 4 DS1 network interfaces (T1 0/1 through T1 0/4), 2 routed 10/100Base-T
interfaces (ETH 0/1, ETH 0/2), a single routed 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port (GIG 0/1), a Universal
Serial Bus (USB) port, and a CRAFT port (management interface). A connection (BBU) is provided for an
optional battery backup unit. The Total Access 900e Series units are RoHS compliant.
In common packet-based applications, the wide area network (WAN) can be terminated using the T1
interfaces (T1 0/1 through T1 04) or the Ethernet interfaces (GIG 0/1 or ETH 0/1, ETH 0/2). This interface
connects to the service provider's or carrier's network and transmits packetized voice and data over a
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunk(s). The customer's data traffic is terminated using the internal router
on the Total Access 900e and is routed out the local area network (LAN) using one of the Ethernet
interfaces (GIG 0/1 or ETH 0/1, ETH 0/2). The customer's voice traffic can remain IP, for applications such
as hosted IP centrex using IP handsets, or an IP public branch exchange (PBX), and will route out one of
the Ethernet interfaces (GIG 0/1 or ETH 0/1, ETH 0/2). The customer's voice can also connect to legacy
phone systems that are presented as time division multiplexing (TDM), which use the FXS ports or PRI/
CAS interfaces (T1 0/1 through T1 0/4). AOS supports the simultaneous use of the IP and TDM interfaces
for voice applications.
Shipping Contents
Each Total Access 900e Series unit is shipped in its own cardboard shipping carton. Open the carton
carefully, and avoid deep penetration into the carton with sharp objects.
After unpacking the unit, inspect it for possible shipping damage. If the equipment has been damaged in transit,
immediately file a claim with the carrier and contact ADTRAN Customer Service (refer to the Support page on
the ADTRAN website at http://www.adtran.com/support).
Shipments of the Total Access 900e Series units include the following items:
• Total Access 900e Series base unit
• A detachable power cable with a grounded IEC three-prong power plug
• Two brackets and four screws
• Quick start guide

Reviewing the Front Panel Design
Figure 1 shows the Total Access 900e Series front panel.
Figure 1. Total Access 900e Series Front Panel Layout
Front Panel Features
Status LEDs
The status LEDs are located on the left side of the front panel. The VOICE LED indicates the status of
the voice ports. The STATUS LED indicates the unit’s status. The GIG 1 LED indicates the status of
the Gigabit Ethernet port. The USB LED indicates the status of the USB port. The T1 1 through 4
LEDs reflect the status of the network interfaces. The ETH 1 and ETH 2 LEDs reflect the status of the
LANs. Table 1 on page 19 below describes the front panel LEDs.
Reviewing the Rear Panel Design
Total Access 908e Rear Panel Interfaces
Figure 2 shows the Total Access 908e product’s rear panel, which contains identical interfaces regardless
of the model.
Figure 2. Total Access 908e Rear Panel Layout
VOICE Connection
A single 50-pin female amphenol connector, labeled VOICE, provides the interconnect wiring for the
analog FXS/FXO circuits. See Table A-1 on page 33 for voice connector pinouts. The status LED,
labeled VOICE, is located on the front panel.
FXO 0/0 Interface
The FXO 0/0 interface is an RJ-11 connector and provides a single analog trunk for local call routing.
See Table A-2 on page 32 for the FXO port pinouts.
Network Interfaces
The network interfaces (T1 0/1 through T1 0/4) interfaces are DS1 RJ-48C pin connections. See Table
A-3 on page 32 for the network interface pinouts. The status LEDs, labeled T1 1 through 4, are located
on the front panel.
The number of circuits used (1 through 24) is dependent on the Total Access 900e
Series model. FXO interfaces use circuits 17 through 24 depending on the model.

10/100Base-T Ethernet Interfaces and LEDs
The Ethernet ports (ETH 0/1 and ETH 0/2) are RJ-48 connectors. The status LEDs, labeled ETH 1 and
ETH 2, are located on the front panel.See Table A-4 on page 32 for the Ethernet port pinouts.
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet Interface
The Gigabit Ethernet port (GIG 0/1) is an RJ-48C connector. That status LED, labeled GIG 1 is located
on the front panel. See Table A-5 on page 33 for the Gigabit Ethernet port pinouts.
USB Interface (Future Release)
The USB interface is Type A USB host connector and is provided for use with 3G/4G modems or flash

battery backup unit connects to the BBU port, which also charges the unit during operation. Refer to
the documentation available for your specific battery backup unit for more information on this
connection, or refer to Battery Backup Unit on page 26 for a more details.
Power Connection
The rear panel has a power input to a 120 VAC power supply with an IEC connector. The appropriate
three-prong cable is included in the shipment. Refer to Supplying Power to the Unit on page 25 for
connection details.
Connection directly to an external modem requires a cross-over cable.

Total Access 916e and Total Access 924e Rear Panel Interfaces
Figure 3 shows the Total Access 916e and Total Access 924e products’ rear panel, which contains identical
interfaces regardless of the model.
Figure 3. Total Access 916e/924e Rear Panel Layout
VOICE Connection
A single 50-pin female amphenol connector, labeled VOICE, provides the interconnect wiring for the
analog FXS/FXO circuits. See Table A-1 on page 33 for voice connector pinouts. The status LED,
labeled VOICE, is located on the front panel.
FXO 0/0 Interface
The FXO 0/0 interface is an RJ-11 connector and provides a single analog trunk for local call routing.
See Table A-2 on page 32 for the FXO port pinouts.
Network Interfaces
The network interfaces (T1 0/1 through T1 0/4) interfaces are DS1 RJ-48C pin connections. See Table
A-3 on page 32 for the network interface pinouts. The status LEDs, labeled T1 1 through 4, are located
on the front panel.
10/100Base-T Ethernet Interfaces and LEDs
The Ethernet ports (ETH 0/1 and ETH 0/2) are RJ-48 connectors. The status LEDs, labeled ETH 1 and
ETH 2, are located on the front panel.See Table A-4 on page 32 for the Ethernet port pinouts.
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet Interface
The Gigabit Ethernet port (GIG 0/1) is an RJ-48C connector. That status LED, labeled GIG 1 is located
on the front panel. See Table A-5 on page 33 for the Gigabit Ethernet port pinouts.
USB Interface (Future Release)
The USB interface is Type A USB host connector and is provided for use with 3G/4G modems or flash
drives. The status LED, labeled USB, is located on the front panel. A USB power switch is used to
limit the current drawn by a device connected to the USB port.
CRAFT Interface
The CRAFT interface is an EIA-232 serial port (DCE) that provides for local management and
configuration (using a DB-9 female connector). Table A-6 on page 33 shows the CRAFT port pinouts.
The number of circuits used (1 through 24) is dependent on the Total Access 900e
Series model. FXO interfaces use circuits 17 through 24 depending on the model.
Connection directly to an external modem requires a cross-over cable.
