Time Slot Handling

FCD-IPM allows the user to configure each of the individual time slots freely according to the following options:

•Data link1 – for data from router/bridge

•FIX SUB Voice – for voice from sublink

•FIX SUB Data – for data from sublink

•FIX Voice (1, 2, 3, 4) – for analog voice port 1, 2, 3, 4

•I/O1 Voice (1, 2, 3, 4) – for analog voice port 1, 2, 3, 4

•I/O2 Voice (1, 2, 3, 4) – for analog voice port 1, 2, 3, 4

•I/O1 SUB Data – for data from sublink

•I/O2 SUB Data – for data from sublink

•I/O1 SUB Voice – for voice from sublink

•I/O2 SUB Voice – for voice from sublink

•I/O1 Channel – for n x 64/56 data port

•I/O2 Channel – for n x 64/56 data port.

For more information on configuring time slots, refer to Chapter 4.

Integrated Router

IP Router

FCD-IPM as an IP router supports:

•Static IP net configuration

•Dynamic IP net learning using RIP and RIP-2 protocols

•CIDR topologies

•Multiple IP nets on the LAN

•Numbered and unnumbered interfaces

•IP fragmentation

•RIP1, RIP2 & OSPF Routing Protocols.

IPX Router

FCD-IPM also supports standard IPX routing that includes support for RIP and SAP.

Bridging

FCD-IPM supports bridging. The bridge is used to interconnect a number of LANs by accessing layer 2 (MAC layer). FCD-IPM automatically extends the scope of any interface, allowing the interface to interconnect several networks, providing that all supported interfaces are set to bridge mode.
