About This Guide
What is in this guide
This guide explains how to perform the following installation and basic configuration tasks on
a Stinger MRT unit:
•Physical installation of the Stinger MRT unit
•Connection of an administrative terminal to the Stinger MRT
•Configuration of the Stinger MRT for basic network connectivity
This guide also provides Stinger MRT technical specifications and an operational overview of
the Stinger MRT. When you finish performing the instructions in this guide, the Stinger MRT
will be installed and you will be able to access it via a Telnet connection for further
configuration.
What you should know
Warning: Before installing your Stinger MRT unit, be sure to read the safety instructions in
the Edge Access and Broadband Access Safety and Compliance Guide. For information
specific to your unit, see Appendix C, “Safety-Related Electrical, Physical, and Environmental
Information,”in this guide.
The procedures in this guide require you to understand and follow the safety practices at your
site, as well as those identified in this guide. Before installing any hardware, check the
installation location for adequate temperature, humidity, and electrical requirements. Work
closely with the network manager and other systems integration personnel to ensure a
functional installation.
Documentation conventions
Following are all the special characters and typographical conventions used in this manual:
Convention Meaning
Monospace text Represents text that appears on your computer’s screen, or that could
appear on your computer’s screen.
Boldface

About This Guide
Stinger documentation set
Stinger documentation set
The Stinger documentation set consists of the following manuals, which can be found at
http://www.lucent.com/support and http://www.lucentdocs.com/ins:
• Read me first:
–Edge Access and Broadband Access Safety and Compliance Guide. Contains
important safety instructions and country-specific information that you must read
before installing a Stinger unit.
–TAOS Command-Line Interface Guide. Introduces the TAOS command-line
environment and shows you how to use the command-line interface effectively. This
guide describes keyboard shortcuts and introduces commands, security levels, profile
structure, and parameter types.
Italics Represent variable information. Do not enter the words themselves in
the command. Enter the information they represent. In ordinary text,
italics are used for titles of publications, for some terms that would
otherwise be in quotation marks, and to show emphasis.
[ ] Square brackets indicate an optional argument you might add to a
command. To include such an argument, type only the information
inside the brackets. Do not type the brackets unless they appear in bold
type.
| Separates command choices that are mutually exclusive.
> Separates levels of profiles, subprofiles, and parameters in a
hierarchical menu when the path to a menu item is referred to in text.
: Separates levels of profiles, subprofiles, and parameters in a pathname
displayed in the command-line interface or referred to in text.
Key1+Key2 Represents a combination keystroke. To enter a combination
keystroke, press the first key and hold it down while you press one or
more other keys. Release all the keys at the same time. (For example,
Ctrl+H means hold down the Control key and press the H key.)

Introduction to the Stinger MRT
The Stinger MRT
The Stinger MRT (Micro-Remote Terminal) is a small temperature-hardened version of the
Stinger unit, designed to be installed in outdoor enclosures in remote locations. The operating
temperature of the installation environment can range between -40°F (-40°C) and 149°F
(+65°C). (For more information, see “Operating environment”on page C-4.)
The chassis of larger Stinger models have numerous slots that accept different types of plug-in
modules. These modules support the following functions.
•General control and configuration of the Stinger unit (control modules)
•Connection to subscriber lines (line interface modules or LIMs)
•Protection of the unit from transient subscriber line conditions (line protection modules or
LPMs)
•Connection to various types of ATM links (trunk modules)
All the hardware and capabilities associated with the control module, LIMs, and LPMs on
other Stinger models are integrated into the Stinger MRT chassis.
Depending on bandwidth requirements, the Stinger MRT can be equipped with a specially
designed trunk module that supports OC3/STM1, DS3, T1, or E1 service. Each Stinger MRT
chassis is equipped with a pair of STS-3 connectors that can forward (cascade) traffic through
multiple Stinger MRT units in a common location to a single unit with a trunk module. The
Stinger MRT also incorporates integrated line splitters to provide asymmetric digital
subscriber line (ASDL) and analog telephone (POTS) service over a single pair of wires.
Virtual slot conventions for the Stinger MRT
The highly integrated Stinger MRT uses the same TAOS software as other modular Stinger
units. In the modular Stinger units TAOS uses the physical slot number in which modules are
installed to access the parameters of those modules and configure them. In the Stinger MRT,
functions are grouped into virtual slots, so that they can be accessed and configured in a
manner similar to other Stinger models.

Introduction to the Stinger MRT
Stinger MRT models
Table 1-1 compares the physical slot locations of modules installed in a Stinger FS with the
virtual slot locations for the same functions integrated into the Stinger MRT. These virtual slot
positions are used in examples throughout this document.
Stinger MRT models
The Stinger MRT is available with different trunk modules installed for different bandwidth
requirements. The Stinger MRT models listed in Table 1-2 are currently available. For more
information, contact your Lucent Technologies sales representative.
