General Safety Instructions The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual. Safety Symbols Warning This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel.
PAGE 6
Handling Energized Products General Safety Practices Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview IPmux-11 offers a solution for extending traditional E1/T1 transparently over packet switched networks (PSNs) such as IP, Ethernet, and MPLS networks. The device converts the data stream coming from its TDM ports into configurable sized packets that are extended over the Fast Ethernet network port, and vice versa. IPmux-11 offers end-to-end synchronization for voice/leased line applications.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Management IPmux-11 can be managed locally by connecting an ASCII terminal to the RS-232 port on the rear panel, or via HTTP connection (Web-based management tool, ConfiguRAD), Telnet or SNMP. The SNMP management capability enables fully graphical, user-friendly management using the RADview Service Center TDMoIP network management stations offered by RAD, as well as management by other SNMP-based management systems.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction 1.3 Functional Description IPmux-11 provides TDM connectivity across the IP/Ethernet network. A single bundle (group of timeslots) can be transmitted to a predefined far-end bundle. IPmux-11 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-11 includes E1 or T1 port.
PAGE 22
IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Testing Diagnostic capabilities include E1/T1 local and remote loopback tests for rapid localization of faults. The E1/T1 traffic can be looped locally, toward the line, or toward the remote end (see Chapter 4 for more information). Timing Modes The E1/T1 Tx clock can operate in several timing modes to provide maximum flexibility for connecting the IPmux-11 E1 or T1 channels.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Frame Format The Ethernet frame sent by IPmux-11 is a UDP datagram that transfers E1/T1 payload bytes over IP over Ethernet (UDP payload + UDP header + IP header + Ethernet header). The UDP payload is equal to TDM bytes per frame (TDM bytes/frame configuration). Table 1-2 specifies the structure of the different headers, special fields, and the payload in the Ethernet packet. MAC IP UDP Payload Figure 1-6.
PAGE 25
IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction VLAN Support VLAN, according to IEEE 802.1p&Q, adds four bytes to the MAC layer of the Ethernet frame. The user can set the contents of these bytes, MAC layer priority and VLAN ID. In this mode, only VLAN format frames are sent and received by IPmux-11. Figure 1-7 shows the VLAN tag format. 00 8 802.1D Tag Protocol Type 6 VID CFI = 0 user_priority 81 5 4 1 Priority 8 1 VLAN ID Figure 1-7. VLAN Tag Format (802.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Packets Leaving IPmux-1 t Packets Arriving t PDV Figure 1-8. Packet Delay Variation PDVT (Jitter) Buffer IPmux-11 is equipped with a Packet DVT (Delay Variation Tolerance) buffer. The PDVT buffer or jitter buffer is filled by the incoming IP packets and emptied out to fill the TDM stream. The buffer begins to empty out only after it is half full in order to compensate for packet starvation from the Ethernet side.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Ethernet Throughput Increasing payload size reduces the ratio of the TDMoIP header segment in the packet, thus significantly reducing the total Ethernet throughput Increased payload reduces the IP/Ethernet overhead segment of the total packet and thus can significantly reduce the total Ethernet throughput.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Reordering Frames The ability to correct problems of reordering is only supported for odd values of payload, i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7, …, 29. You can reorder up to seven frames; the number depends on the number of TDM bytes/frame size and buffer size. The number of frames that can be reordered is calculated by: ( jitterbuffer[m sec] − 1)(Tsx8) 47 xpayload Note • where Ts = number of timeslots • where payload = number of TDM bytes in frame, i.e.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Switch Behavior When Handling User and Network Traffic The way the network and user ports handle the traffic depends on the selected port mode (transparent, untagged, tagged or double tagged) and frame type (untagged, tagged or double tagged). Table 1-7 lists all operation modes of the network and user ports. The modes are explained in greater detail in Table 1-8, Table 1-9, Table 1-10, Table 1-11, Table 1-12, Table 1-13 and Table 1-14.

Chapter 4 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Table 4-4. Bundle Connection Parameters (Cont.) Parameter Description Jitter Buffer Underflows (cont.) An underflow situation can be a cause of: • Buffer starvation: Packets delay variation causes the buffer to empty out gradually until it is underflowed. • Continuous Sequence Errors. The sequence error means a halt in the valid stream of packet arrival into the jitter buffer. • Packets are being stopped/lost/dropped.

The SNMP management functions of IPmux-11 are provided by an internal SNMP agent. The SNMP management communication uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol), which is a connectionless-mode transport protocol, part of the IP (Internet Protocol) protocol suite. This appendix covers the information related to the SNMP environment. C.

Appendix C SNMP Management IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Management Information Base (MIB) The MIB includes a collection of managed objects. A managed object is defined as a parameter that can be managed, such as a performance statistics value. The MIB includes the definitions of relevant managed objects. Various MIBs can be defined for various management purposes or types of equipment.

Appendix C SNMP Management IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual In general, SNMP agents support two types of access rights: Read-Only: The SNMP agent accepts and processes only SNMP getRequest and getNextRequest commands from management stations which have a Read-Only community name. Read-Write: The SNMP agent accepts and processes all the SNMP commands received from a management station with a Read-Write community name.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix D Configuration Menus Configuring User Access IPmux-11 management software allows you to define new users, their management and access rights. Only superusers (su) can create new users, the regular users are limited to changing their current passwords, even if they were given full management and access rights. To add a new user: 1. Make sure that you logged in as su. 2. From the Management Access menu, select User access.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix D Configuration Menus Controlling Telnet and Web Access You can enable or disable access to the IPmux-11 management system via Telnet or Web-based applications. By disabling Telnet or Web, you prevent unauthorized access to the system when security of the IPmux-11 IP address has been compromised. When Telnet and Web access is disabled, IPmux-11 can be managed via an ASCII terminal only.

IPmux-11 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix D Configuration Menus Note When autonegotiation protocols do not support each other, this will degrade the connection to a half-duplex mode. In order to avoid this, autonegotiation should be disabled and the ports should be configured manually. Half-duplex degradation will occur also when autonegotiation is enabled at one port and disabled at the opposite port. 4. Type S to save your changes.

DC Power Supply Connection – AC/DC Adaptor (AD) Plug Note: Ignore this supplement if the unit is AC-powered. Certain units are equipped with a Wide Range AC/DC power supply. These units are equipped with a standard AC-type 3-prong power input connector located on the unit rear panel. This power input connector can be used for both AC and DC voltage inputs. For DC operation, a compatible AC/DC Adaptor (AD) plug for attaching to your DC power supply lines is used (see Figure 1).
