IPmux-14 v2.0 Features
5/21
Support for MPLS encapsulation
Encapsulates the TDM data with MPLS labels: TDMoMPLS
PW label always present, defines the bundle number
Tunnel label optional, enables handoff to MPLS network
Works opposite: Gmux-2000 v2.0, IPmux-11 V2.0
Applications and benefits:
Bandwidth sensitive networks Saves an overhead of up to
24 bytes compared with TDMoIP
MPLS handoff (where static labels are used)

Support for HDLCoPSN
Uses HDLC encapsulation instead of the TDM encapsulation.
Supports HDLCoMPLS or HDLCoIP
Service configurable per bundle
Use TDMoIP for transparent data/voice
Use HDLCoIP for HDLC-based data
Works opposite Gmux-2000 v2.0
Applications are mostly for data:
Port mode frame relay connecting FRAD or routers
Transparent X.25
Transparent PPP connecting routers or other devices
Benefits:
Bandwidth efficiency: no user traffic = no bandwidth used on network
link.
7/21
Support for System Clock
Each E1/T1 can be configured to use the system clock for
transmitting
System clock can be derived from:
LBT E1/T1
Adaptive of a specific E1/T1
Internal
External
System clock has master and fallback sources
Benefits:
Fallback clock for each E1/T1 for clock redundancy
Enables phase lock between E1/T1s: when PBX/Base station
requires all E1/T1 to be synchronized.

TDM Fault Propagation
Complete emulation of E1 or T1 includes network
alarm support (previously supported in unframed mode)
Framed: Trail-extended mode in IPmux-14 V2.0
Emulates alarm signals for complete TDM service
Uses out of band signaling to indicate to remote side to activate alarm
Supports LOS, OOF, AIS and RDI
Applications and benefits:
Full leased line emulation with alarms for framed service
Grooming not applicable (no multi-bundling)

FAC1(Facility Type 1) remote loopback
Smart jack emulation
Loop down, loop up
Applicable for North American market only
Benefits:
Supports carrier T1 service including OAM and data without
modifying carrier management systems.
Enables carriers carrier scenarios

DCE The IPmux data port provides transmit and
receive clock signals to the users equipment
DTE2 IPmux transmits and receives data
according to the clock signals provided by the
serial equipment
DTE1 - The IPmux uses its clock to transmit data
towards the user's equipment, and uses the user's
equipment clock to receive data.
