IPmux-14 v2.0 FeaturesIPmux-14 v2.0 Features

5/21

Support for MPLS encapsulationSupport for MPLS encapsulation

• Encapsulates the TDM data with MPLS labels: TDMoMPLS• PW label – always present, defines the bundle number

• Tunnel label – optional, enables handoff to MPLS network

• Works opposite: Gmux-2000 v2.0, IPmux-11 V2.0

• Applications and benefits:• Bandwidth sensitive networks – Saves an overhead of up to 24

bytes compared with TDMoIP

• MPLS handoff (where static labels are used)

Support for HDLCoPSNSupport for HDLCoPSN

• Uses HDLC encapsulation instead of the TDM encapsulation.• Supports HDLCoMPLS or HDLCoIP

• Service configurable per bundle

• Use TDMoIP for transparent data/voice

• Use HDLCoIP for HDLC-based data

• Works opposite Gmux-2000 v2.0

• Applications are mostly for data:• Port mode frame relay connecting FRAD or routers

• Transparent X.25

• Transparent PPP connecting routers or other devices

• Benefits:• Bandwidth efficiency: no user traffic = no bandwidth used on network

link.

7/21

Support for System ClockSupport for System Clock

• Each E1/T1 can be configured to use the system clock for transmitting

• System clock can be derived from:• LBT E1/T1

• Adaptive of a specific E1/T1

• Internal

• External

• System clock has master and fallback sources

• Benefits:• Fallback clock for each E1/T1 for clock redundancy

• Enables phase lock between E1/T1s: when PBX/Base station requires all E1/T1 to be synchronized.

TDM Fault PropagationTDM Fault Propagation

Complete emulation of E1 or T1 includes network

alarm support (previously supported in unframed mode)

• Framed: Trail-extended mode in IPmux-14 V2.0• Emulates alarm signals for complete TDM service

• Uses out of band signaling to indicate to remote side to activate alarm

• Supports LOS, OOF, AIS and RDI

• Applications and benefits:• Full leased line emulation with alarms for framed service

• Grooming not applicable (no multi-bundling)

T1 Smartjack EmulationT1 Smartjack Emulation

• FAC1(Facility Type 1) remote loopback• Smart jack emulation

• Loop down, loop up

• Applicable for North American market only

• Benefits:• Supports carrier T1 service including OAM and data without

modifying carrier management systems.

• Enables carrier’s carrier scenarios

• Timing• DCE – The IPmux data port provides transmit and

receive clock signals to the user’s equipment

• DTE2 – IPmux transmits and receives data according to the clock signals provided by the serial equipment

• DTE1 - The IPmux uses its clock to transmit data towards the user's equipment, and uses the user's equipment clock to receive data.

• Data Rate: N × 64 kbps (N = 1, 2, ... 32)
