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 also features two 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.
The IPmux family implements TDMoIP technology to carry TDM transport over IP.
