Total Access 908 vs. 908e
The Total Access 908 and 908e both provide eight FXS analog voice ports, but they represent different generations of ADTRAN gateway technology.
Total Access 908: Earlier platform with a single T1, 10/100 Ethernet, SIP or MGCP gateway functionality, IP routing, and PRI/T1 CAS support.
Total Access 908e: Newer-generation platform with four T1/FT1 interfaces, Gigabit Ethernet, additional Ethernet connectivity, enhanced routing and security, optional lifeline FXO, and optional SBC functionality.
Organizations replacing an original 908 should verify whether the existing T1, PRI, SIP, MGCP, PBX, and routing configuration can be migrated directly to a 908e environment.
ADTRAN Total Access 908e FXS Ports
The Total Access 908e provides eight FXS analog voice ports.
FXS ports can connect compatible:
- Analog telephones
- Fax machines
- Modems
- Door phones
- Alarm interfaces
- Legacy analog business equipment
What Is an FXS Port?
An FXS port provides the analog telephone service interface normally supplied to an analog phone or similar endpoint.
In a VoIP gateway, the FXS interface allows a traditional analog device to communicate through an IP-based voice service.
Total Access 908e for Analog Phones
The eight FXS ports on the 908e allow organizations to continue using compatible analog phones while moving carrier-side communications to SIP or VoIP.
This can reduce the need to replace all existing phones immediately during a communications upgrade.
Total Access 908e for Fax Machines
Fax machines can connect to compatible FXS ports on the Total Access 908e.
Successful fax operation over VoIP depends on several factors including:
- Carrier configuration
- Voice codec
- Network quality
- Gateway settings
- Fax-device compatibility
Total Access 908e for Analog Modems
Selected analog modem applications can use FXS connectivity when the voice service and network configuration support the required signaling.
Compatibility should be verified before migrating critical modem-dependent equipment to a VoIP gateway.
ADTRAN Total Access 908e T1 Interfaces
The Total Access 908e provides four T1/FT1 interfaces for compatible digital voice and data applications.
T1 connectivity can support:
- PRI
- T1 CAS
- Legacy PBX systems
- Carrier voice services
- Digital trunking
- Converged voice and data
Total Access 908e PRI Gateway
The Total Access 908e can be used in compatible PRI environments where a traditional PBX or other digital voice system must connect to IP-based communications services.
This can help organizations migrate carrier services to SIP without replacing an existing PRI-based PBX immediately.
ADTRAN SIP-to-PRI Gateway
A Total Access 908e can act as part of a SIP-to-PRI architecture by bridging a compatible SIP service with traditional PRI-based business communications equipment.
This can be useful when:
- The carrier is moving to SIP
- The existing PBX uses PRI
- The business wants to retain current phones
- A phased voice migration is preferred
ADTRAN PRI-to-SIP Gateway
Total Access gateway functionality can also support migration away from traditional digital voice services toward SIP-based communications.
The exact configuration should be designed around the carrier, PBX, signaling, codec, and call-capacity requirements.
ADTRAN Total Access 908e SIP Gateway
The 908e is designed for SIP-based business voice services as well as MGCP applications.
SIP gateway functionality can support:
- SIP trunks
- Hosted PBX
- Hosted unified communications
- IP Centrex
- Cloud voice services
- Analog device migration
- Legacy PBX integration
Total Access 908e for SIP Trunking
SIP trunking delivers business voice services over IP rather than traditional dedicated analog or digital circuits.
The Total Access 908e can provide an interface between SIP-based carrier services and existing customer telephony equipment.
Total Access 908e for Hosted PBX
A hosted PBX moves call-control functionality into a provider or cloud environment.
The Total Access 908e can preserve support for local analog equipment by converting hosted IP voice services into traditional FXS connections.
Total Access 908e for Cloud Voice
Organizations moving to cloud-based communications can use the 908e when existing analog or T1-connected equipment must remain operational.
This can simplify phased migration from legacy voice systems to modern IP communications.
Total Access 908e for Legacy PBX Systems
Businesses can use a Total Access 908e to extend the useful life of compatible legacy PBX equipment while moving external carrier services toward SIP or IP-based communications.
This can reduce the immediate need to replace:
- PBX hardware
- Desktop phones
- Internal telephone wiring
- Analog peripheral devices
ADTRAN Total Access 908e Lifeline FXO
Selected Total Access 908e configurations include a lifeline FXO port.
The lifeline FXO connection can provide an alternate analog PSTN path for supported calling scenarios.
What Is Lifeline FXO?
A lifeline FXO interface allows a compatible gateway to connect to an external analog telephone service.
Potential uses include:
- Emergency calling
- WAN-failure backup
- SIP-service interruption
- Alternate PSTN access
Total Access 908e with Lifeline FXO
ADTRAN part number 4243908F2 identifies a Total Access 908e configuration with lifeline FXO.
This configuration can be especially useful in business environments where an alternate analog calling path is required.
ADTRAN Total Access 908e SBC
Compatible Total Access 908e gateways can provide Enterprise Session Border Controller functionality through licensed configurations or software upgrades.
SBC functionality can help manage SIP communications between an organization's internal voice network and external carrier or hosted services.
Total Access 908e SBC 5 Calls
ADTRAN offers a Total Access 908e configuration with lifeline FXO and SBC support for five simultaneous calls.
This can be appropriate for smaller business or branch environments with limited concurrent SIP-call requirements.
Total Access 908e SBC 25 Calls
A 25-call SBC configuration provides additional simultaneous SIP-session capacity for growing voice environments.
Total Access 908e SBC 50 Calls
The 50-call SBC configuration can support larger SIP trunking and unified communications environments where greater concurrent-call capacity is required.
Total Access 908e SBC 100 Calls
ADTRAN also offers Total Access 908e configurations supporting up to 100 SBC calls.
This provides substantial SIP-session capacity within the 908e gateway platform.
How Many SBC Calls Do I Need?
SBC capacity should be based primarily on the maximum number of simultaneous calls rather than the total number of employees or telephone numbers.
Consider:
- Peak simultaneous calls
- Inbound traffic
- Outbound traffic
- Conference calls
- Call-center activity
- Expected business growth
What Does an ADTRAN SBC Do?
Enterprise Session Border Controller functionality helps control and normalize SIP communications between different voice environments.
SBC functionality can assist with:
- SIP interoperability
- NAT traversal
- Voice security

Network Address Translation allows internal private-address networks to communicate through external public IP connectivity.
NAT behavior is especially important in SIP environments because voice signaling and media sessions can be affected by address translation.
Total Access 908e SIP NAT Traversal
SBC and gateway functionality can help manage SIP sessions across NAT boundaries.
This can improve interoperability between internal voice equipment and external SIP providers.
Total Access 908e VLAN Support
VLAN functionality allows voice, business data, management, and other network traffic to be separated logically.
Network segmentation can improve:
- Security
- QoS
- Traffic management
