TA 544 User Manual/61200704L1-1A Page 13 of 68 1. TA 544 OVERVIEW The Total Access 544 is a complete solution Integrated Access Device (IAD) for Voice over ATM (VoATM) applications. The unit includes a modular network interface, Nx64 V.35 interface, 10/100BaseT interface, ISDN ports, and an optional battery back-up (1200641L1) for added security. The TA 544 can provision, test, and provide status for any of the voice and data interfaces. All connections are made via the rear panel (see Figure 1).
TA 544 User Manual/61200704L1-1A Page 14 of 68 small, fixed-length cells require lower processing overhead. Second, these small, fixed-length cells allow higher transmission speeds than traditional packet switching methods. ATM allocates bandwidth on demand, making it suitable for high-speed connection of voice, data, and video services. Conventional networks carry data in a synchronous manner. Because empty slots are circulating even when the link is not needed, network capacity is wasted.
TA 544 User Manual/61200704L1-1A Page 15 of 68 5. INSTALLATION Unpack and Inspect the Unit 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, then contact ADTRAN Customer Service. Shipped by ADTRAN The following items are included in the ADTRAN shipment: • The TA 544 • DB-9 adapter • 6 ft.

For voice applications, a Voice Gateway is needed to interface with the PSTN. TdSoft and Jetstream are popular Gateway types. ISDN V.35 TX DATA VOICE BATT Phone PWR/NET 544 Figure 20.
TA 544 User Manual/61200704L1-1A Page 63 of 68 Voice Turn Up Step Action 1 From the TA 544 main menu, select the WAN menu. (Here you set up the ATM network.) 2 Select the ATM CONFIG menu. 3 Enter the IDLE CELLS format for your network. 4 Set DATA SCRAMBLING appropriately for your network. 5 Back all the way out to the top level TA 544 menu, and then select the VOICE menu. (From this menu, the appropriate Voice information for working with the Voice Gateway is entered.
TA 544 User Manual/61200704L1-1A Page 64 of 68 Appendix F. RFC1483 Quick Start (IP Routing) The TA 544 allows for complete integration of voice and data delivery from one compact platform (see Figure 21). Once you have completed the voice turn up procedure from the previous example, adding data to the circuit requires some additional setup.

TA 544 User Manual/61200704L1-1A Page 66 of 68 Appendix G. RFC1483 Quick Start (IP Routing with NAT) To illustrate the use of NAT, consider the example from Appendix E. To set up a single public address that will be used to access the public network, you will use the NAT menu on the WAN/ATM/RFC1483 IP menu. IP Routing with NAT Step Action 1 From the NAT menu, set NETWORK ADDRESS PORT TRANSLATION to ENABLED. (This will enable translation and allow you to enter the NAT options.
TA 544 User Manual/61200704L1-1A Page 67 of 68 Appendix H. RFC1483 Quick Start (Bridging) The TA 544 allows for complete integration of voice and data delivery from one compact platform. Once you have completed the voice turn up procedure from the previous example, adding data to the circuit requires some additional setup. To configure a TA 544 for Bridging, you need to know the VPI and VCI values for the data circuit on your network.
TA 544 User Manual/61200704L1-1A Page 68 of 68 Appendix I. PPPoA Quick Start Guide Step Action 1 Create the data VPI/VCI by going to the ROUTER/CONFIGURATION/WAN/ ATM menu. Use the right arrow key to enter the menu. This will create a data PVC entry for which the appropriate VPI/VCI can be entered. 2 Select PPPOATM from the PROTOCOL field. Then right arrow over to the PPPOATM entry point (denoted by a [+]) and press Enter.
