DESCRIPTION

The MX2820 STS-1 MUX is a multiplexer unit that 
plugs into an MX2820 chassis. The MX2820 STS-1 
MUX interfaces to a standard STS-1 signal from the 
network to provide 28 DSX-1 or 21 E1 outputs on the 
terminal side through the demapping of 28 VT1.5s or 
21 VT2s. Two MX2820 MUX cards are used together to 
provide a redundant STS-1 multiplexer circuit. The 
MX2820 STS-1 MUX provides 1:1 redundancy and 
meets the requirements for NEBS Level 3.

INSTALLATION

After unpacking the unit, inspect it for damage. If 
damage is found, file a claim with the carrier and then 
contact ADTRAN Customer Service. Refer to the 

Warranty Statement

 on this Job Aid.

This module occupies a MUX slot in the MX2820 
chassis. To install the STS-1 MUX in the chassis, 
perform the following steps:

1. Pull the ejector tab into the down position and 

gently but firmly push the MUX into the selected 
MUX slot. Simultaneous thumb pressure at the 
top and at the bottom of the unit will ensure a 
good seat of the MUX into the backplane connec-
tor. 

2. Push the ejector tab up and closed against the 

front panel.

Upon installation, the MUX will begin a self-test. This 
is followed with the LEDs reflecting the true state of the 
hardware.

OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS

Operates from A or B –42 VDC to –56 VDC input 
voltage power feeds

Operates over temperature range of 0°C to +50°C 
with fans

Storage –40°C to +85°C; Relative humidity to 95 
percent, noncondensing

NOTE: Fans are recommended for MX2820 applications 

that include STS-1 MUX modules.

PROVISIONING

All provisioning of the MX2820 STS-1 MUX will be 
handled through the SCU. The menu tree on the 
reverse of this Job Aid provides the options and default 
settings for the MX2820 STS-1 MUX.
