IPmux-8/16 Ver. 6.00 Configuring IPmux-8/16 for Operation 4-23

Configuring Bundle Connections

E1 and T1 timeslots can be organized into bundles. IPmux-8/16 supports up to 31

(E1) or 24 (T1) bundles per link. The bundles can be connected to any bundle of

the TDMoIP device that operates opposite IPmux-8/16. Timeslot configuration is

not available for E3, T3, and channelized T3 TDM links.

It is recommended to configure up to 85 bundles per unit.

Assigning Timeslots to Bundles

Path: Main > Configuration > Time Slots Configuration.



To assign timeslots to bundles:

1. Follow the path above to display the Time Slots Configuration menu

(see

Figure 4-14).

2. From the Time Slots Configuration menu, configure the following:

 Slot/Channel (Specifies IPmux-8/16 slot where the TDM module is installed

and the number of the E1/T1 link which is currently being configured)

 3, 4 for the slot

 1–4 or 1–8 for the link

 Bundle Number (Number of bundle which is currently being configured)

 Time slot number (Number of timeslot to be assigned to or freed from the

current bundle)

 1–31 for E1 or 1–24 for T1

• No timeslots can be added or removed from an active bundle. The bundle must

be disabled first (see

Figure 4-15).

• Timeslot 0 is reserved for framing information and cannot be assigned to a

bundle. Likewise, when CAS is enabled, timeslot 16 is reserved for signaling

information.

• A list of timeslots assigned to the current bundle and available timeslots for the

current E1/T1 link are displayed at the bottom of the Time Slots Configuration

menu.

• It is possible to create a secondary (redundant) bundle on a current E1/T1

channel by assigning to it timeslots which have already been assigned to the

primary (active) bundle. These timeslots are listed as FREE TIME SLOTS FOR

REDUNDANCY (see

Configuring Bundle Redundancy for a Single Unit without

TDM Protection below).

• If the port is configured to the unframed mode, it is not possible to assign

individual timeslots to a bundle. Full data link at 1544 kbps (T1) or 2048 kbps

(E1) is automatically assigned to a bundle in the unframed mode.

 Time Slot Current Status

 Set (Timeslot is assigned to the current bundle)

 Free (Timeslot is removed from the current bundle)
