1-port Channelized E3 FIC (3C13888)

The main functions of 1-port Channelized E3 FIC include:

■Working in E3 mode, the card can transmit/receive and process the fast traffic of one E3 channel, as well as provide the accessing of E3 traffic.

■Working in CE3 mode, the card can provide the subscribers with the low-speed accessing service at the speed of Nx64kbps, given N is smaller than or equal to 128.

E3 represents the tertiary group rate of E system in the TDM system, that is, 34.368Mbps.Through the demultiplexing processes of E23 and E12, an E3 channel can be channelized into 16 E1 lines, each supporting both the operating modes of E1 and CE1. E23 is used to indicate either E2-to-E3 multiplex or E3-to-E2 demultiplex, and E12 to indicate E1-to-E2 multiplex or E2-to-E1 demultiplex. “E23” and “E12” discussed here represent the demultiplex process.
