61200659L1-1 MX2800 STS-1 User Manual 1-1Chapter 1 IntroductionPRODUCT OVERVIEWThe MX2800 STS-1 is a SONET multiplexer that consolidates T1and E1 signals into an STS-1 signal. This unit provides a cost-effective, versatile tool for combining independent T1s or E1s overthe same STS-1 carrier.Embedded SNMP (simple network management protocol) andTelnet are available through the modem port using SLIP/PPP orthrough the 10BaseT ethernet port. Using the ManagementInformation Base II (MIB II), RFC 1595 standards, and anADTRAN enterprise MIB, the MX2800 STS-1 can be configured,monitored, and diagnosed with standard SNMP networkmanagement programs such as Hewlett Packard’s HP OpenView™and Cabletron’s Spectrum™. In addition, the SysLog Host Daemonallows remote monitoring, collecting, and logging of MX2800STS-1 events in real time. This information can be useful duringinstallation setups and/or troubleshooting.Complete configuration, diagnostics, and performance monitoringare available through SNMP, Telnet, or a VT-100 terminalinterface. This connection can be made via ethernet, a local EIA-232 link, or through the built-in V.34 modem (see the note at theend of this section on page 1-2). The modem can dial-out a “cry forhelp” for units located in unmanned facilities. The MX2800 STS-1is designed for either desktop use or for installation in a 19-inch or23-inch rack.
