Differences between the first and second generation Adtran Total Access 900 Series Gateways

There are many used 1st Gen Adtran Total Access 900 Series Gateways out there at much lower prices than the 2nd Gen.

I was curious if there are major differences between the two units.
After some research I found the following:

Feature 1st Gen 2nd Gen
3 Way Conferences via FXS users 0 3
Max TDM to IP Call 24 30
Max T.38 Sessions 1 4
Echo-tail Length 16 ms 64 ms
Supports MGCP No Yes
Flash Memory 32MB 64MB

Based upon Echo-tail length increased to 64ms and the increased number of T.38 faxes I stick to the the 2ng Gen Gateways.

How Setup T1 TDM E&M Wink Start on the Adtran Total Access 900 Series

Recently I had a customer that wanted to setup SIP Trunks on their old phone system.
When I arrived onsite I realized that they were using an old T1 and not a PRI.

At first I tried configuring the settings in the GUI but that just created a mess in the config and didn’t work.

After some digging around I got it to work with the following settings:

interface t1 0/2
  tdm-group 1 timeslots 1-24
  no shutdown

voice trunk T02 type t1-rbs supervision wink role network
  description “PBX”
  connect t1 0/2 tdm-group 1
  resource-selection linear ascending
  did digits-transferred 4
  modem-passthrough
  t38
  rtp delay-mode adaptive
  codec-group Generic

The remaining settings are the same as a standard PRI.
