IPmux-16 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction
Functional Description 1-15
End-to-End Alarm Generation
An end-to-end alarm generation mechanism exists in the IPmux-16 to facilitate the
following alarms:
Unframed AIS will be transmitted toward the near-end PBX in event of:
• Far-end LOS, AIS
• PDVT underflow/overflow.
Framed Timeslot / CAS configurable alarm pattern will be transmitted
toward the near-end PBX in event of:
• Far-end LOS, LOF, AIS
• PDVT underflow/overflow.
Throughput Limitations and CAC Ethernet port throughput of IPmux-16 is limited to a number (pps) that is smaller
than the number (pps) that should be transmitted when all 16 E1/T1 channels are
active with 48 bytes per frame. To prevent configurations that will exceed this
limit, a CAC mechanism exists and will prevent adding connections as soon as the
limit is exceeded. The mechanism also monitors and displays current system
performance optimization (percentage of budget in use).
