RAD Data comm IPmux-11 operation manual QoS, Management, Timing

Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual

QoS

QoS supports:

•Labeling IP level priority (ToS/Diffserv) for TDMoIP packets

•VLAN tagging and priority labeling according to IEEE 802.1p&Q for TDMoIP packets

•QoS marking of the TDMoIP traffic in MPLS networks.

The user can configure the ToS (Type of Service) of the outgoing TDMoIP packets. This allows an en-route Layer 3 router or switch, which supports ToS, to give higher priority to IPmux-11 TDMoIP traffic for delay-sensitive and secure applications. IPmux-11 allows you to configure the WHOLE ToS byte field, since different vendors may use different bits to tag packets for traffic prioritization. This also enables operation according to various RFC definitions (for example RFC 2474, RFC 791). The user can also configure VLAN priority bits for Level 2 Priority.

Management

IPmux-11 can be managed locally by connecting an ASCII terminal to the RS-232 port on the rear panel, or via an HTTP connection (Web-based management tool, ConfiguRAD), Telnet or SNMP. The SNMP management capability enables fully graphical, user-friendly management using the RADview Service Center TDMoIP network management stations offered by RAD, as well as management by other SNMP-based management systems.

ConfiguRAD

ConfiguRAD is user-friendly, Web-based terminal management system for remote device configuration and maintenance. It is embedded into IPmux-11 and provided at no extra cost. ConfiguRAD can be run from any standard Web browser.

Timing

IPmux-11 maintains synchronization between TDM devices by deploying advanced clock distribution mechanisms.

Available timing modes are:

•Loopback

•Adaptive

•Internal clock

•External clock.

System clock ensures clock resilience by using master and fallback timing sources for clock redundancy.

IPmux-11 also provides system clock output via external clock connector.
