Introduction
NXT1 HSSI/V.35 MODULE OVERVIEW
The NxT1 HSSI/V.35 Module is a member of the ATLAS 800 family of
integrated access products that supports aggregating point-to-point T1
bandwidth (from 2 to 8 T1s) to a single logical datastream available on the
high speed serial interface (HSSI) of the module. The HSSI interface is
delivered using a standard 50-pin SCSI-II connector. Alternately, an optional
adapter cable may be purchased (ADTRAN P/N 3125I081) to convert the
HSSI interface to a single V.35 interface when needed. When using the
NxT1 HSSI/V.35 Module in a V.35 configuration, up to 4 T1s of aggregated
bandwidth is supported.
The inverse multiplexing capacity of the module accommodates eight
T1s, and the module automatically adjusts the data rate to the HSSI/V.35
port upon loss of one or more T1 circuits. In addition to the HSSI port,
four T1 ports are included on the module itself, while alternate T1 ports
can be provided using other ATLAS 800 T1 or T3 modules. The
NxT1 HSSI/V.35 Module combines with the ATLAS 800 Series base
units (ATLAS 800PLUS and ATLAS 890 only) and other ATLAS modules to
support applications calling for increased point-to-point T1 bandwidth.
Figure 1-1 shows a sample application of the NxT1 HSSI/V.35 Module.

the transmit (TX) data from the DTE. This is usually set to Normal.
If the interface cable is long, causing a phase shift in the data, the
clock can be set to Inverted. This switches the phase of the clock,
which compensates for a long cable.
CA
(Not applicable in V.35 mode.)
Asserts the data Communications equipment Available signal from
the DCE. CA will be asserted by the DCE, independently of TA,
when the DCE is prepared to both send and receive data to and
from the DTE. This indicates that the DCE has obtained a valid data
communications channel. Data transmission should not commence
until TA has also been asserted by the DTE.
LC
(Not applicable in V.35 mode.)
Enables the Loopback Circuit C signal from the DCE. LC is an
optional loopback request signal from the DCE to the DTE,
requesting the DTE provide a loopback path to the DCE.
