1.3 Functional Description
IPmux-8/16 Ethernet modules connect the device to the network. Configuration
and management are provided via the IPmux-8/16 local terminal, Telnet
application, or SNMP such as RADview, RAD’s network management system.
IPmux-8/16 modules support E1/T1 interfaces. E1/T1 bundles, composed of
several timeslots (1–31 for E1, 1–24 for T1), can be defined. Each bundle can be
connected to a different destination bundle anywhere on the network
(see
Figure 1-7). In addition, IPmux-16 units with channelized T3 TDM interfaces
supports up to 28 bundles with one unframed T1 per bundle.
Figure 1-7. IPmux-8/16 Point-to-Point Application
Up to 85 sub-E1 or 85 sub-T1 remote bundles can be attached to one central
IPmux-8/16. Multibundling enables concentrating many remote sites with few
timeslots to the same TDM channel at the central site. A mesh topology
application, in which the bundles at each site are defined to connect to several
sites, is also supported (see
Figure 1-8).
