iMcV-E1-Mux/4+Ethernet (Enhanced)
The IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 Transports Four E1
Extensions and One RS-232 Serial Link Over a
Fiber Optic Line With Optional 1+1 Protection
and Full-Bandwidth 10/100 Ethernet Support.
Product Overview
The IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 is a managed modular media converter, installed
as a Host/Remote pair, that transports four independent E1 lines over
a single or dual fiber optic line. The module is ideal for applications
requiring TDM extension, such as remote office PABX connectivity, with
support for a full bandwidth 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection over the
same optical link.
The IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 allows for Bandwidth Limiting control in 32 Kbps
increments up to 100 Mbps. It also detects Ethernet, AIS, E1 and fiber
LOS events as well as degraded lines with full LED indications including
a Remote Alarm Indicator (RAI) over the fiber link. E1 ports can also be
enabled or disabled via the CLI, Telnet or SNMP management software,
allowing the user to perform maintenance on a particular line without
affecting others.
Fiber redundancy (1+1) on removable SFP modules offers the enhanced
reliability of a protected fiber link while supporting the complete range of
optical types and distances. The 1+1 protection system automatically
switches to the best fiber line within 50 milliseconds, should one line
become impaired or fail.
The module also features an independent serial link (RS-232) which
is carried over the same fiber link(s), and can be used for transporting
serial traffic from other equipment located at the remote point of
presence (POP) back to the central office. This unit also supports an
independent RS-232 console port for local monitoring and configuration
of the unit by technical support personnel.
Modular, Managed Four E1 Plus Data
Extension Over Fiber
Application Example
In a typical application, a Customer PABX is provided with up to four
E1 lines from the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) over a
protected optical link. In addition, the customer location can receive
a full bandwidth, 100BaseT Ethernet connection to the Internet from
the local Internet Service Provider (ISP) over the same, protected,
optical link. Operation Administration and Management (OAM)
functions for the link are provided from the Host location through
either a “Console” RS-232 connection on the Host unit or a SNMP
connection through the management interface at the Host chassis.
In this example, the RS-232 “Console” port of the remote PABX is
also carried back to the Host location for remote management of the
customer located PABX, using the end-to-end serial RS-232 port on
the iMcV-E1-Mux/4.
