Database
All configuration parameters are stored in non-
volatile memory to ensure data integrity in the
event of a power failure. A secondary database
may also be programmed for time-of-day
bandwidth allocation or switched backup
operation. Alarm information is collected and
stored in memory for easy reading by the
management system.
Diagnostics
The Kilomux incorporates numerous test features
for easy maintenance and rapid fault detection.
Upon operation and during normal use, automatic
self-test and link-test are performed, and all
problems are reported to system management.
Local and remote loops can be performed for each
main link and every I/O channel. A built-in BERT
can be used for testing any I/O data channel and
a built-in tone injection can be used for testing
any voice channel. These extensive diagnostic
tests ensure quick fault discovery and recovery.
Compact chassis models
For applications requiring a small number of I/O
channels, the compact Kilomux-2104 model is
available. This modular unit, packaged in a 1U-
high enclosure, supports four I/O modules. It
accommodates up to 16 asynchronous data
channels, up to eight synchronous data channels,
or up to 32 analog/60 digital voice or fax channels
over a single link interface. The Kilomux-2104 is
fully compatible with the Kilomux-2100.
KVF.6
Voice/fax low bit rate module uses the ITU
G.723.1 voice compression algorithm to provide
toll-quality voice at 6.4 kbps for a full E1 or T1
trunk. The card can digitize voice at rates from
4.8 kbps to 16 kbps and supports inband
transparent fax transmission at rates of up to
14.4 kbps. The dual-slot module supports both
CAS (DTMF, R2) and CCS (SS7, PRI) signaling
methods.
KVF.8
Voice/fax low bit rate module uses the
G.723.1 digitizing technique to provide toll-
quality voice at 6.4 kbps for eight analog
channels. The card can digitize voice at rates
from 4.8 kbps to 16 kbps and supports inband
transparent fax transmission rates of up
14.4 kbps. The card offers pulse metering at
16 or 12 kHz and polarity reversal as well an
integral echo canceller.
All KVF modules support inband fax for
transparent fax transmission as well as V.22 and
V.22bis modem data transmission. KVF.6 and
KVF.8 also support V.32bis modem data
transmission.
Internetworking modules
KMBE
Ethernet IP/IPX router/bridge module
supports the connection of up to 256 remote
workstations to a main Ethernet LAN in bridge
mode, and to an unlimited number of
workstations in router mode. Bandwidth from
9.6 kbps to 1,280 kbps is supported on the link.
Interface can be AUI, thin coax or UTP
(10BaseT). The module includes all the features
of the WEB RANger-II such as Single IP, Solid
Firewall™ and RADview SNMP management.
Management options
The Kilomux offers three management options:
• ASCII terminal – an ASCII terminal can be
connected locally or remotely, using a dial-up
modem.
• Telnet –a Telnet client can be used to control
the Kilomux via its Ethernet management port
or via an inband management channel.
• RADview management station – enables
complete monitoring and control from a
central management station. RADview
provides direct online supervision,
configuration and diagnostics.
The Kilomux devices include an SNMP agent and
can be managed using RADview-PC or
RADview-HPOV (on a UNIX platform) graphical
user interface. This provides terminal access to
remote devices from any management station
on the network for configuration and
troubleshooting.
Online supervision
Audio and visual indicators provide the status of
alarms and tests at the network, multiplexer,
card, and port levels and include all links
connected to the Kilomux. Alarms are
automatically logged and presented upon
request unless otherwise masked.
Sanity check
Configurations are automatically checked for
validity before being downloaded or upon user
request. This check can be performed at three
different levels: the whole network, one single
rack or per module or channel.
Manual timeslot allocation and bypass
Network-level operations enable easy activation
of drop-and-insert applications. An existing
configuration can be copied to a desired
destination within the same Kilomux or to any
other Kilomux. This operation can be performed
at the Kilomux, card or channel level.
