Installation and Operation Manual		Chapter 1 Introduction

1.2 Physical Description

IPmux-11 is a compact easy-to-install standalone unit. Figure 1-2shows a 3-dimensional view of IPmux-11.

Figure 1-2. IPmux-11 3D View

The front panel includes the IPmux-11 LEDs. For the detailed LED description, see Chapter 3.

User, network, external clock and management ports, and power supply connector are located on the rear panel of unit. For further details, see Chapter 2.

1.3 Functional Description

IPmux-11 provides TDM connectivity across the IP/Ethernet network. A single bundle (group of timeslots) can be transmitted to a predefined far-end bundle. IPmux-11 supports ICMP (ping), and generates ARP in case of unknown next hop MAC addresses, answers ARP requests, and supports the 802.3 VLAN Ethernet format.

IPmux-11 includes E1 or T1 port. Traffic is transmitted over the network as E1/T1 or fractional E1/T1, using the TDMoIP or TDMoMPLS method.

IPmux-11 supports two Ethernet user ports for user LAN connectivity.

Configuration and management are provided via the IPmux-11 local terminal, Web-based management utility, Telnet or RADview management tool (SNMP).

Operation Modes

This section describes the IPmux-11 operation modes, which are:

•Unframed E1/T1

•Fractional E1/T1

•Fractional E1/T1 with CAS.
