Introduction

1.1 Overview

IPmux-1/1E offers a solution for extending traditional E1/T1, ISDN, or POTS TDM services transparently over the widely deployed IP networks. The device converts the data stream coming from its user ports into configurable sized IP packets that are extended over the Fast Ethernet port and vice versa. IPmux-1/1E offers end-to-end synchronization for voice applications. IPmux-1/1E also offers large buffers to compensate for the delay variation inserted by the network. The device can be used to extend E1/T1 or ISDN/POTS circuits over IP networks for Metropolitan Area Network applications. IPmux-1/1E also features a Fast Ethernet user port for data (Ethernet) connectivity to the IP/Ethernet network. Management is performed locally by a terminal, or remotely via Telnet or SNMP.

IPmux-1 has a single E1/T1 port.

IPmux-1E offers one of the following options:

4 BRI – a card with 4 ISDN standard S-interfaces

4 FXS – a card with 4 FXS ports

Optional user Ethernet port.

The IPmux family implements TDMoIP technology to carry TDM transport over IP. IPmux-1E BRI channels are transported as TDM timeslots, while the Analog FXS channels are digitized and carried as fractional E1/T1 with CAS.
