ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
depicts a typical RAM configuration. The RAM consists of an ARX-965 Crossbox Enclosure and up to three
ARL-942 Asynchronous Remote Line Units (ARLUs) and ASU-940 splitter/combiners. The RAM is powered from
the ALU-935s installed in the Field Shelf. The ASU-940 combines the ADSL signals from the ARL-942 with the
analog POTS circuits from the crossbox or other source of dial tone. Four DS1 circuits provide up to 24 PVC’s of
ATM data for each RAM.
