The FCD-IPM is an E1/T1 or fractional E1/T1
modular integrated access device (IAD) with a
built-in router.
The FCD-IPM enables service providers to bundle
data and voice services together with Internet
access over a single E1 or T1 line.
The modular design enables carriers to adopt and
comply with changing customer needs.
The modules include:
• Four or eight analog voice ports
• One or two fractional E1/T1 ports
• Universal data port
• Four-port hub/switch module
The FCD-IPM is available with a software-
selectable internal line termination unit (LTU),
which allows direct connection to the E1 network
or connection via an external LTU. A built-in CSU/
DSU allows direct connection to a T1 network.
The integrated router supports:
• IP and IPX routing and transparent bridging
• Backup router link capability
• Quick setup and configuration
• Solid Firewall
TM
(session-based) protection
• NAT and Single IP address translation
• PAP/CHAP security
• OSPF
The FCD-IPM can also be used as a rate and
interface converter or as an integrating
multiplexer for fractional E1/T1 analog voice and
data services.
Interoperability with DXC multiservice
access node
The FCD-IPM can operate with RAD’s modular
DXC multiservice access node products for
multilink star applications, including access to
SDH networks. The DXC units and FCD-IPM
operate under a centralized SNMP network
management.
Timeslot assignment is programmable, allowing
data from the LAN, sub-E1/T1 port, analog voice
ports, and data port to be placed into timeslots,
either consecutively or alternately. The FCD-IPM
also allows flexible timeslot allocation of the
data port timeslots. Each timeslot of the sub-
E1/T1 port is placed on the same timeslot of
the main E1/T1 link.
Data from the data port can be either assigned
transparently to the main link timeslots or
routed together with the LAN data.
Immunity to hardware and power failures is
provided by bypassing the sub-E1/T1 port to the
main E1/T1 link, ensuring uninterrupted service
to the sub-E1/T1 port.
The E1 interface meets all requirements of ITU
recommendations G.703, G.704, G.706, and
G.732.
The T1 interface is compatible with virtually all
carrier-provided T1 services.
Management options
Setup, control and monitoring of status and
diagnostic information can be performed via:
• ASCII terminal connected to the async control
port
• SNMP management
• Inband management through a dedicated
timeslot
The FCD-IPM supports dial-in, which can be
used for remote out-of-band configuration and
monitoring.
Maintenance capabilities include user-activated
local and remote loopbacks.
The FCD-IPM is available as a standalone unit for
the desktop or a 19-inch rack shelf.
