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.
