1.3 Functional Description
IPmux-1/1E provides TDM connectivity across the IP/Ethernet network. A single
bundle (group of timeslots) can be transmitted to a predefined far-end bundle.
IPmux-1/1E supports ICMP (ping), and generates ARP in case of unknown next
hop MAC addresses, answers ARP requests, and supports 802.3 VLAN Ethernet
format.
IPmux-1/1E supports a variety of interfaces: E1/T1, ISDN BRI and analog POTs.
Traffic is transmitted over the network as E1/T1 or fractional E1/T1, using the
TDMoIP® method. IPmux-1/1E supports an Ethernet user port for user LAN
connectivity.
Configuration and management are provided via the IPmux-1/1E local terminal,
Telnet or RADview management tool (SNMP).
Figure 1-8 shows a typical application for IPmux-1.
