It is probably a V.35 connector on the Adtran, and if it is of the style of 
a big block with a male screw on one side and a female screw on the other, 
it is called a 'winchester' connector.

On the cisco side, the 2501 has a HD-60 connector, proprietary to cisco.

Regarding HDLC, that is one of the many layer 2 framing protocols that cisco 
can run, with the default being proprietary version of HDLC developed by 
cisco.

Corrections welcomed, thanks.
