Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview Vmux-210 is a voice trunking gateway that enables several analog voice channels to be compressed and extended over a serial, E1/T1 or 10/100BaseT uplink. Vmux-210 implements G.723.1, G.729 A, G.711 compression and TDMoIP or AAL2oMPLS multiplexing algorithms to send 12, 15, 24 or 30 analog voice channels over an IP, E1/T1 or n x 64 kbps network.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual Cable options for the Serial Link: • V.35, DCE • V.35, DTE • X.21, DCE • X.21, DTE • RS-530, DTE. RS-530, DTE Note An adapter cable is not required for connecting to RS-530 equipment when Vmux-210 operates in DCE clock mode. Applications The following figures show a central Vmux-2100 operating opposite remote Vmux-2100 and Vmux-210 units in point-to-multipoint applications over an IP network.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Features Ethernet Links Vmux-210 provides two half/full duplex, 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports, each with autonegotiation support. One port can function as the uplink to the IP network, while the other is provided for connecting the user Ethernet LAN to the Vmux-210 unit. Together with the Vmux-210's integral Ethernet switch, this allows integrating the user LAN traffic with the compressed voice, over a single uplink to the network.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual smaller than the TDMoIP header, saving about 5% in bandwidth (depending on the actual frame size). Bundling A bundle is a logical internal Vmux-210 port, containing up to 30 timeslots. Vmux-210 supports 12 bundles. A bundle is routed to a defined remote IP address. Each timeslot can be included in any bundle. At the remote site, it can be connected to any timeslot within a destination bundle.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction When the internal router is enabled, it performs the routing between the Ethernet ports and the E1/T1/Serial Link (whichever is defines as the main link), or between the two Ethernet ports. If the internal router is disabled, the Ethernet switch performs the Ethernet switching, while voice traffic is routed directly from the Host to the DSPs. The various features of the internal router are configurable.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual 1.2 Physical Description Vmux-210 is a 1U high, easy-to-install standalone device. Figure 1-3 shows a 3D view of the unit. The front panel includes LEDs that indicate when the power is ON, when a test is being performed, and when an alarm is present in the system. LEDs are described in greater detail in Chapter 3. Figure 1-3. Vmux-210, Front Panel 3D The rear panel varies depending on the port and power supply options.

Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 1-9. Vmux-210 Block Diagram: Router Disabled Voice Interface The voice interface includes 12, 15, 24, or 30 FXS analog voice ports that connect to POTS or faxes. Signaling Signaling information is processed according to the CAS signaling mode. Analog ports translate the physical signal to ABCD bits. The user configures this translation, for example, the user may define the value “1101” to indicate “ONHOOK”.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual Voice Activity Detection Voice Activity Detection (VAD) uses digital signal processing techniques to distinguish between silence and speech on a voice connection. VAD reduces the bandwidth requirements of a voice connection by generating traffic only during periods of active voice conversation. With Comfort Noise Generation (CNG) supported at the remote site, VAD significantly reduces bandwidth consumption without degrading voice quality.

Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction For more information about VLAN tagging, see IEEE Std 802.1D&Q. E1/T1/Serial Main Link The E1/T1/Serial main links receive Ethernet frames from the CPU and forward them to the remote device over a TDM network or a leased line. The E1/T1/Serial Links normally transmit the HDLC data transparently. However, a special mode to support applications opposite certain Cisco-manufactured equipment is provided. This mode uses a Cisco HDLC header format.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual Each VLAN tag contains a Priority field. The Ethernet switch in the Vmux-110 decides the transmission priority of a packet based on this field. A packet whose VLAN ID appears in the VLAN table will exit (egress) the switch based on the policy in the VLAN table (see next section). VLAN Table Vmux-210 includes a VLAN table, which can contain up to 64 entries, in which packet egress policies are defined for different VLAN ids.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction The actual bandwidth utilization is determined by the following factors: • Header sizes: Ethernet – 18 bytes IP – 20 bytes UDP – 8 bytes TDMoIP – 4 bytes VLAN (if exists) – 4 bytes. • Size of the voice packet: G.723 – 31 bytes (AAL2 header [3 bytes] + voice header [4 bytes] + compressed voice payload [24 bytes]) G.729 – 17 bytes (AAL2 header [3 bytes] + voice header [4 bytes] + compressed voice payload [10 bytes]) G.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Installation and Operation Manual The bundle will be up, but some packets will be lost. In this case the voice quality will be degraded and we will have temporary voice degradation. In addition, fax and modem transmission can be affected as well in case of packet loss.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics 1100 Hz (CNG) will cause the Vmux-210 to switch into fax-relay mode (if fax relay is enabled). 2100 Hz (fax/modem CED) will cause the Vmux-210 to switch into VBD (if modem relay is enabled). Important: The above tones may be detected in the range of +/- 50 Hz (e.g. 1080 Hz can be detected as 1100 Hz).
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Installation and Operation Manual In order to overcome this situation, the Vmux-210 uses the fragmentation feature. The fragmentation function enables the Vmux-210 to halt the transmission of a long, lower priority packet, and begin the transmission of a higher priority packet without waiting to finish the transmission of the lowerpriority packet.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Installation and Operation Manual 2. TDMoIP requires significantly less bandwidth per voice call than VoIP, thus avoiding network congestion and the resulting packet loss. 3. When routers handle a large volume of small VoIP packets, a great deal of processing power is consumed. This introduces latency; and if the routers are overrun, then packets will be dropped and voice quality will suffer.
