Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1 Overview
IPmux-24 offers a pseudowire (PW) solution for extending traditional E1/T1
services transparently over packet switched networks (PSNs) such as Ethernet,
MPLS and IP networks. The device converts the data stream coming from its TDM
ports into configurable-sized packets that are encapsulated using one of the PW
methods (TDMoIP, CESoPSN, SAToP, HDLCoPSN) and forwarded over Ethernet,
MPLS and IP networks. IPmux-24 offers end-to-end synchronization for
voice/leased line applications. IPmux-24 also features two Gigabit or Fast
Ethernet user ports for data (Ethernet) connectivity to the IP/Ethernet network.
Management is performed locally by a terminal, or remotely via Web, Telnet, or
SNMP.
Device Options
