The AdTran NetVanta 5660 is a router. You are trying to connect a router (RAXE500) to an existing router and creating a double NAT configuration. Not good. Explanation here: https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-double-NAT-and-why-is-it-bad.
Your best option is to configure your RAXE500 as a Wi-Fi access point and let the AdTran device handle the routing functions.
Go to the Downloads section at the top of this page, feed in your router model number (RAXE500) and download the PDF user manual. Instructions on configuring your router as a Wi-Fi access point start on page 94. Once you have the configuration change made, power down your RAXE500, connect the Ethernet cable from the IT room, and power up your RAXE500. You will have control over your broadcast Wi-Fi SSID's and passwords from your RAXE500.
