5-2 Overview

Guidelines

Certain guidelines/assumptions for configuring IPmux-1 working opposite

IPmux-4 that are relevant to this application are explained below.

IP Configuration

• The IP network can consist of either switches or routers. The minimum

requirement is 10M full duplex. Hubs or any half-duplex environments should

not be used.

• Each IPmux should be given an IP Address and a Default Gateway (if a routed

network is used).

E1/T1 Configuration

• TDM traffic will be sent between the central IPmux-4 and the two remote

IPmux-1 units at Station A and Station B over the IP network.

• The TDM traffic can either be generated by a BER tester connected to the

IPmux units or by a PABX. If a BER tester is connected to IPmux-4, a physical

loop can be inserted in the remote IPmux-1 E1 port to avoid using more BER

testers.

• The TDM equipment connected to the central IPmux-4 should be the clock

source for the whole application (i.e. it will operate in internal mode). The two

other TDM devices connected to IPmux-1 receive the clock from the Tx path

of the IPmux-1 units.

• Set the TDM device’s E1 parameters in accordance with the E1 parameters of

the IPmux units connected to them. For details, see Table 5-1and Table 5-2,

and the E1/T1 Configuration on the following pages.

• On the IPmux-4, only E1 port 2 will be used to connect to the remote

IPmux-1 units.

Creating Bundles and Connections

• After IP addresses and E1 parameters have been configured, create bundles on

each IPmux, followed by connections between the bundles.

• A bundle is a group of timeslots, encapsulated in UDP over IP over ETH

frames, which is sent over the IP network between the IPmux units. A bundle

can include between 1 and 31 timeslots for E1, and 1 to 24 for T1.

IPmux-1 can only be configured for 1 bundle. IPmux-4 can be configured to

have up to 31x4=124 bundles for E1 or 4x24=96 for T1. Each configured

bundle is given a Bundle Number that indicates to which E1 channel it

belongs, according to Table 5-1.
