The TA (connected to the serial port) terminates the BRI call and transmits thedata to the router as a synchronous data stream.This document outlines how to ADTRAN ISU" TAs to work with Cisco routers. We recommend that yourefer to the product documentation on the ADTRAN web site prior to proceeding.PrerequisitesRequirementsVerify that the BRI circuit is working correctly. You may wish to use the circuit on a router with a BRI port totest the circuit prior to deploying it in this configuration. Also verify and test the peer device to ensure that itfunctions properly.For some applications, the ADTRAN ISU must support synchronous Multilink PPP (MPPP). The ISUs thatsupport synchronous MP include the ISU Express (Part Numbers 1200.081L5, 1200.081L6, and 1202.081L6), ISU 2x64 (1200.051L1 and 1200.051L2), and the second generation ISU 128 (1202.029L2 and1202.029L3.)To use MPPP on a Cisco router, the software revision of the ISU must be up to date. A list of minimumsoftware revisions is presented by product in the table below:
