Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 The IPmux-8/16 Device IPmux-8 and IPmux-16 (referred to as IPmux-8/16) are modular TDMoIP gateways. IPmux-8/16 modules enable TDM circuits to be extended over Packet Switched Networks (PSN) . The devices convert the data stream coming from the TDM ports into configurable-sized Ethernet frames that are transported over the Ethernet port and vice versa.
IPmux-8/16 User’s Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Overview of RADview FCAPS Model RADview provides a complete solution for monitoring and controlling IPmux. The RADview solutions conform to ITU-T Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) recommendations for SNMP management systems, known as the FCAPS model: • Fault management – detects and correlates fault in network devices, isolates faults and initiates recovery actions.
