The Kilomux subrate multiservice multiplexers
provide an efficient and cost-effective solution
for integrating data, voice, fax, and LAN traffic
over digital data services, leased lines, IP, ISDN,
and other services. Access to the various
services is provided over a variety of standard
interfaces at data rates ranging from 9.6 kbps
to 1,536 kbps.
The low overhead, minimal end-to-end delay
and allocated bandwidth of the Kilomux –
together with voice compression – ensure
quality of service while maximizing utilization of
the available bandwidth.
Main link modules
Many interfaces are available on the aggregate
links for compatibility with digital data services
worldwide. These include V.35, V.36/V.11,
RS-530, V.24/RS-232, X.21, and G.703
codirectional. Built-in CSU/DSU, fractional E1/T1,
fiber optic, ISDN terminal adapters, and TDMoIP
are also available. Soft-selectable timing options
from either the link or any channel are standard
for all interfaces, as is support for control
signals.
Standard 8-bit buffers on both the transmit and
receive lines, as well as an optional on-board
256-bit satellite buffer, enable the use of any
type of access media. These include leased
lines, fiber, radio, microwave, and satellite links.
The Kilomux-2100 supports a secondary link,
which can be configured in several ways:
• As a backup link, which can be connected to
a dial-up modem, switched digital service or
ISDN basic rate line.
• As an active, secondary link with load sharing
option providing double capacity. This mode
supports “priority bumping,” which allows the
most important channels to continue
functioning in the event of a failure on either
link.
• As an additional, active link, thus enabling
communication with two independent
Kilomux units at different sites. In this
configuration, the KDI module can provide
drop-and-insert and bypass capabilities
between the two links.
Main link modules include:
KML.1/N for V.35 interface
KML.2/N for V.24/RS-232 interface
KML.3/N for V.36/RS-422/RS-530 interface
KML.4/N for X.21 interface
KML.5/N for G.703, codirectional interface
KML.6/N CSU/DSU for standard DDS (US) or
built-in short range modem (9.6, 19.2, 56 kbps)
KML.7 for fractional T1 interface
KML.8 for connection to a fractional E1
interface
KML.10 built-in ISDN terminal adapter for one
or two “B” channels; supports dedicated or
switched connection
KML.F fiber optic main link eliminates the need
for an external fiber optic modem
KML.11 TDM over IP main link enables the
Kilomux payload to be delivered over IP
networks
System modules
KCL.2
Common logic module featuring built-in SNMP
agent, software download and optional
integrated Ethernet port for management
KPS.3, KPS.5, KPS.7, KPS.8
Power supply modules
KDI
Drop-and-insert and bypass module can be
used in situations where the Kilomux at the
central site is comm unicating with two remote
sites and voice/data communication is required
between the remote sites. In addition, it can
provide support for ring topologies and a single
multidrop channel.
KM-Ringer provides DC feed and ringer voltage
for voice modules with FXS interface
KAI
Alarm indication module for rear panel
viewing of most front panel indicators
Timing options
Various timing options for both the link and the
I/O channels assure integrity of data transfer in
any application. DTE, DCE and external DCE
clocking are supported by the main link (not
applicable on G.703 or CSU/DSU).
I/O modules
I/O modules are available for many types of
traffic. Low and high bit rate data (sync and
async) channels can be combined with voice
and fax circuits for maximum bandwidth
utilization. Advanced technology in voice
compression allows a choice between toll-
quality ADPCM, PCM or high quality, low bit rate
compressed voice, at rates as low as 4.8 kbps.
In addition, internetworking modules provide
LAN (Ethernet) connectivity.
Any combination of up to four or 12 I/O
modules can be configured in the Kilomux-2104
and Kilomux-2100 chassis respectively.
• Connects to leased lines, IP, ISDN, radio,
satellite, and DDS links
• Link data rates from 9.6 kbps to
1,536 kbps
• High quality, low bit rate voice/fax from
4.8 kbps to 14.4 kbps
• Two chassis types:
– Kilomux-2100 with 12 I/O slots
– Kilomux-2104 with four I/O slots
• Optional redundant power supply and
link interface
• Supports up to 180 digital voice or fax
channels and 96 analog channels in one
box
• Supports up to 48 async or 24 sync data
channels
• Drop-and-insert capability
• Ethernet IP/IPX router/bridge module for
LAN connectivity
• Flexible timing options
