Introduction
1.1 Overview
IPmux-4 is a modular TDMoIP gateway enabling one or four E1 or T1 circuits to
be extended over IP networks. The device converts the data stream coming from
the E1 or T1 ports into configurable-sized IP packets that are transported over the
Ethernet port and vice versa. IPmux-4 offers end-to-end synchronization for TDM
applications and large buffers, to compensate for the delay variation inserted by
the network. The device can be used to extend E1 or T1 services over high-speed
IP/Ethernet backbones for both Metropolitan Area Network and corporate
applications. IPmux-4 can be managed locally via an ASCII terminal or remotely
via Telnet or RADview (RADs SNMP-based network management application).

Chapter 1 Introduction
T1
T1 ports and framers comply with ANSI T1.403 standards. The T1 jitter
performance is according to G.824, TR-62411. The T1 framers support
pass-through, SF, ESF and CAS. The T1 port supports long haul and short haul
input signals and can be monitored for alarms and error statistics. FDL and transmit
PRM for T1/ESF are also supported.
E1
E1 ports comply with G.703 and G.823 standards. E1 framers comply with G.704.
The E1 framers support pass-through, framed, CRC4 MF and CAS MF framing. The
E1 port supports long haul and short haul input signals and can be monitored for
alarms and error statistics.
IP
The data stream coming from the E1 or T1 ports into IP frames is converted and
transferred over the Fast Ethernet port and vice versa.
The TDM bytes are encapsulated in a UDP frame that runs over IP and over
Ethernet.
The number of TDM bytes in an IP frame is configurable for throughput/delay
tradeoff.
A single IP address should be set per device (Host IP). A destination IP address can
be configured for each bundle (see Multibundling, below). IP ToS field support can
be configured for IP Level Priority.
Ethernet
IPmux-4 has a half/full duplex, 10/100 Ethernet port for LAN connectivity.
The IPmux-4 Ethernet port supports auto-negotiation.
Half duplex operation in IPmux-4 is not recommended because collisions and
backoffs cause large delay variation and may exceed the delay variation buffer
tolerance at the receiving end, causing buffer underflows and errors to occur.
IPmux-4 supports VLAN tagging and priority.
Mode of Operation
IPmux-4 can operate in three different modes:
Multibundling
A bundle is a group of timeslots originating from a specific E1 or T1 channel. Up to
31 bundles per E1 channel and 24 bundles per T1 channel can be defined for
transport over the network. Each bundle can contain 1 to 24/31 timeslots (T1/E1
respectively).

QoS
QoS support:
The user can configure the ToS (Type of Service) of the outgoing IP packets. This
allows an en-route layer-3 router or switch, which supports ToS, to give higher
priority to IPmux-4 traffic for delay-sensitive and secure applications. IPmux-4
allows you to configure the WHOLE ToS byte field, since different vendors may
use different bits to tag packets for traffic prioritization. This also enables you to
work according to various RFC definitions (for example RFC 2474, RFC 791). The
user can also configure VLAN priority bits for Level 2 Priority.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Operation Modes
IPmux-4 operation modes are:
Unframed
Fractional
Unframed
In the transparent mode, the incoming bit stream from each port (regardless of
framing) is converted into IP over Ethernet frames. This option provides clear
channel end-to-end service.
Fractional
In the fractional mode, the incoming bit stream is regarded as a sequence of
nx64 Kbps channel groups (according to framing). Each predefined group of
channels is converted into a structure block. The structure block is packetized into
IP frames and transmitted.
This mode allows transmission of several selected time slots and not the whole
E1/T1 as in transparent mode.
Testing
Diagnostic capabilities include E1/T1 local and remote loopback tests for rapid
location of faults. Any of the E1/T1 ports can be looped locally toward the line, or
toward the remote end (see Chapter 4 for more information).
Timing Modes
The E1/T1 Transmit (Tx) clock can operate in several timing modes to provide
maximum flexibility for connecting the IPmux-4 E1/T1 interface. The clock of each
port (each port is autonomous) must be configured correctly on both the Receive
and Transmit ends to ensure proper operation and to prevent pattern slips.
Available timing modes are:
Loopback the E1 or T1 Transmit clock is derived from the E1/T1 Receive (Rx)
clock.

VLAN Support
VLAN, according to IEEE 802.1p&q, adds four bytes to the MAC layer of the
Ethernet frame. The contents of these bytes: MAC layer priority and VLAN ID, can
be set by the user. In this mode, only VLAN format frames are sent and received
by IPmux-4. The following figure describes the VLAN tag format.

Packets are transmitted at set intervals. Packet Delay Variation is the maximum
deviation from the nominal time the packets are expected to arrive at the far end
device. IPmux-4 has a buffer that compensates for the deviation from the expected
packet arrival time to prevent IPmux-4 buffers from emptying out.
Packet Delay Variation is an important network parameter. Large PDV (exceeding
the jitter buffer configuration) will cause receive buffer underflows and errors at
the E1/T1 level (see Figure 1-11).

To compensate for large PDV, the PDVT (jitter) buffer should be configured to a
higher value.

PDV
Intrinsic PDV
If TDM bytes/frame is greater than 48, there is an intrinsic delay variation (intrinsic
PDV). The intrinsic PDV introduced by the module is a function of n>1 in
TDM bytes/frame configuration as follows:
I.PDV (ms) = ((n 1) x 1000) / (frames per second n)
Where n =

Chapter 1 Introduction
Ethernet Throughput
Configuring the TDM bytes per frame (TDM bytes/frame) parameter can reduce
Ethernet throughput (bandwidth or traffic traveling through the Ethernet). This
parameter controls the number of TDM bytes encapsulated in one frame. The
TDM bytes/frame parameter can be configured to nX48 bytes where n is an
integer between 1 and 8. Configuring TDM bytes/frame to a higher value reduces
the IP/Ethernet overhead segment of the total packet and thus can significantly
reduce the total Ethernet throughput.
On the other hand, packetization delay and intrinsic packet delay variation (PDVT)
are increased and this contributes to a higher end-to-end delay. This effect can be
small and negligible when a full E1 (or many timeslots) are transferred but can be
very significant when few E1/T1 timeslots are transferred. In this case, the
packetization delay and the intrinsic PDV when configuring a large value of TDM
bytes / frame can be very large and may exceed the maximum PDVT (jitter) buffer
on the receiving end. The tables below show the throughput as a function of the
TDM bytes/frame configuration for a full E1 and a full T1.

Troubleshooting and
Diagnostics
4.1 Error Detection
Front Panel LEDs
LED indicators on the front panel indicate the operating status of the module. The
LED indicators are described in Chapter 3 of this manual.
IPmux-4 maintains an Event Log File that stores up to 2000 events. All events are
time-stamped. The user can view the contents of the Event Log File via an ASCII
terminal or a Network Management Station. The user can also clear the contents
of the Log File.
Table 4-1 alphabetically presents the event types that appear on the Event Log File,
as well as the actions required to correct the event (alarm) indication.
To correct the reported problem, perform corrective actions in the given order
until the problem is corrected. If the problem cannot be fixed by carrying out the
listed actions, IPmux-4 MUST be checked by the authorized technical support
personnel.

Application Configuration
Procedures
This chapter provides detailed instructions for setting up a test application using
IPmux-1 and IPmux-4. The application can be used as an optional test setup for an
IPmux unit, or can be used as a quick reference guide for basic configuration of an
IPmux unit.
5.1 Overview
Application
The section provides detailed instructions for configuring an IPmux-1 unit opposite
an IPmux-4 unit in a point-to-multipoint application including configuration via a
supervisory terminal (see Figure 5-1).

Guidelines
Certain guidelines/assumptions for configuring IPmux-1 working opposite
IPmux-4 that are relevant to this application are explained below.
IP Configuration
Each IPmux should be given an IP Address and a Default Gateway (if a routed
network is used).
E1/T1 Configuration
TDM traffic will be sent between the central IPmux-4 and the two remote
IPmux-1 units at Station A and Station B over the IP network.
The TDM traffic can either be generated by a BER tester connected to the
IPmux units or by a PABX. If a BER tester is connected to IPmux-4, a physical
loop can be inserted in the remote IPmux-1 E1 port to avoid using more BER
testers.
The TDM equipment connected to the central IPmux-4 should be the clock
source for the whole application (i.e. it will operate in internal mode). The two
other TDM devices connected to IPmux-1 receive the clock from the Tx path
of the IPmux-1 units.

Perform initial configuration of IPmux-1 and IPmux-4 via a standard ASCII terminal
connected to the IPmux-1 control port. However, after performing the initial
configuration (Host IP Address and Default Gateway), you can manage IPmux-1
and IPmux-4 using any of the following options:
Use the terminal as a supervisory terminal, for performing all the management
activities supported by IPmux-1/4
Manage IPmux-1/4 from any IP host using the Telnet protocol. After
establishing a Telnet session with IPmux-1, the Telnet protocol offers the same
functionality as the supervisory terminal, and in addition enables remote
access over IP networks.

Appendix A
Boot Sequence for
Downloading Software
A.1 General
This chapter provides a description of the IPmux-4 boot procedure via an ASCII
terminal for downloading software.
The IPmux-4 software is stored in the flash memory in two sections, in the boot
sector and in the file system. The boot sector holds a boot program that calls up
the rest of the program from the file system.
The file system can hold two compressed copies of the IPmux-4 code. One copy is
called the operating file, and the other is called the backup file. The operating file
is the default-executable IPmux-4 code. The backup file is used whenever the
operating file is absent or corrupted.

The boot program searches for the operating file in the file system.
If the file exists, a message appears on the screen and the program
continues.
If the file does not exist, the boot program searches for the backup file,
renames the file to Operating file (a message appears on the screen)
and continues.
If there is no backup file, you must download a file via the out-of-band
interface (XMODEM protocol). The received file is saved as the
operating file in the file system.

Appendix B
SNMP Management
This appendix provides specific information for IPmux-4 management by SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol).
The SNMP management functions of IPmux-4 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.

MIB Structure
The MIB has an inverted tree-like structure, with each definition of a managed
object forming one leaf, located at the end of a branch of that tree.
Each leaf in the MIB is reached by a unique path. Thus, by numbering the
branching points starting with the top, each leaf can be uniquely defined by a
sequence of numbers.
The formal description of the managed objects and the MIB structure is provided
in a special standardized format, called ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation 1). Since
the general collection of MIBs can also be organized in a similar structure, under
IAB (Internet Activities Board) supervision, any parameter included in a MIB that is
recognized by the IAB is uniquely defined.
To provide the flexibility necessary in a global structure, MIBs are classified in
various classes (branches). One is the experimental branch and another the group
of private (enterprise-specific) branch.
Under the private enterprise-specific branch of MIBs, each enterprise
(manufacturer) can be assigned a number, which is its enterprise number. The
assigned number designates the top of an enterprise-specific sub-tree of nonstandard MIBs. Within this context, RAD has been assigned the enterprise number
164. Therefore, enterprise MIBs published by RAD can be found under
1.3.6.1.4.1.164.

MIBs of general interest are published by the IAB in the form of a Request for
Comment (RFC) document. In addition, MIBs are also often assigned informal
names that reflect their primary purpose. Enterprise-specific MIBs are published
and distributed by their originator, who is responsible for their contents.

In principle, SNMP allows each management station that recognizes the MIBs
supported by a device to perform all the management operations available on that
device. However, this is not desirable in actual practice, it is necessary to provide a
means to delimit management domains.
SNMP Environment
Ph:727-398-5252/Fax:727-397-9610
B-3
www.bestdatasource.com
SNMP Communities
SNMP delimits management domains by defining communities. Each community
is identified by a name, which is an alphanumeric string of up to 255 characters
defined by the user.
The IPmux-4 SNMP agent defines strings of up to 10 characters (case sensitive,
numeric and alphabetical).
Any SNMP entity (both managed entities and management stations) is assigned a
community name by its user. In parallel, the user defines a list of the communities
for each SNMP entity that are authorized to communicate with the entity, and the
access rights associated with each community (this is the SNMP community name
table of the entity).
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.
Authentication
In accordance with SNMP protocol, the SNMP community of the originating entity
is sent in each message.
When an SNMP message is received by the addressed entity, it first checks the
originator's community. Messages with community names not included in the
SNMP community names table of the recipient are discarded. SNMP agents of
managed entities usually report this event by means of an authentication failure
trap.
The SNMP agents of managed entities evaluate messages originated by
communities appearing in the agent's SNMP community names table in
accordance with the access rights, as previously explained. Thus, a setRequest for
a MIB object with read-write access rights will nevertheless be rejected if it comes
from a management station whose community has read-only rights with respect to
that particular agent.

Appendix C
Telnet
C.1 General
Telnet, which stands for Telecommunications Network, is a protocol that gives you
the ability to connect to a remote machine, by giving commands and instructions
interactively to that machine, thus creating an interactive connection. In such a
case, the local system becomes transparent to the user, simulating a direct
connection to the remote computer. The commands typed by the user are
transmitted directly to the remote machine and the response from the remote
machine is displayed on the users monitor screen. It is possible to manage the
IPmux-4 inband via remote ASCII Terminal using the Telnet IP protocol.
C-1
www.bestdatasource.com
Appendix C Telnet
Telnet Operation
Telnet and ASCII terminal cannot be active at the same time.
If a terminal is active, a Telnet session cannot be established.
Terminal management has priority over Telnet, if a Telnet session is active and a
user logs on to the terminal, the Telnet session will be disconnected and the
terminal will be the active form of management.
Parameters set to default values via Telnet will not erase the host and default
gateway parameters, to prevent a loss of connectivity.
When configured to default values from the terminal, host and default gateway
parameters will be erased.
System Security
A user name and password is required to log on and initiate a Telnet session.
The Terminal session exits to the password screen and the Telnet session
disconnects after 15 to 30 minutes of inactivity.
Note
The inactivity time-out feature may be deactivated via the ASCII Terminal
Configuration window.

TFTP Download Procedures
D.1 Inband TFTP Download Procedure
General
A new IPmux-4 software version can be downloaded to the IPmux-4 using TFTP.
There are three possible procedures:
Users who access IPmux using Telnet can perform software download and
configuration upload/download using the Configuration screens. For details see
Download/Upload using the TFTP window in Appendix E.
Users who have access to the RADview Network Management. For more
details refer to RADview-HPOV Network Management System for IP
Applications.

IPmux-4
IP 192.168.113.5
NMS Server
IP 192.168.113.2
Warning
To start download:
1. Set the appropriate IPmux-4 MIB parameter. The IPmux-4 then sends requests
to the TFTP server (where the new software resides) and receives packets of
data.
2. If there is no TFTP server available to the main manager, assign a station where
there is a TFTP server installed. This server becomes a secondary manager. In
this case, the main manager only initiates the download process (by setting the
MIB parameter), which is then performed between the IPmux-4 and the TFTP
server.
D-1
www.bestdatasource.com
Preliminary Procedure
fileServerIP: Specify the IP address of the TFTP server where the software file
resides.
fileName: Specify the file name containing the new software version,
including any path to the file. This name must be under the root directory
where the TFTP server was initiated. The name can be up to 12 characters in
length; for example, anteappl.cmp.

The E1/T1 Physical Layer Menu allows you to monitor the following:
Valid Intervals: The number of 15-minute intervals stored in the system since
power up.
Time Since: The elapsed time since the beginning of the current interval (interval
0). Displayed only when the current interval is monitored.
Interval Number: The number of the interval to be displayed.
Interval number 0 (zero) is the current interval.
The current interval display is continuously updated.
The elapsed time since the beginning of the interval is displayed.
Start Time: The time and date when the monitored interval started. Displayed
only when viewing previous intervals.
Channel Number: Select the E1/T1 physical port on which you want to view
statistics (1 - 4)
Prev: Displays the previous interval.
From the first interval (current interval = 0) Prev is not visible
Next: Displays the next interval.
The number of valid intervals is displayed.
From the last valid interval Next is not visible.
