Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1 Overview
Optimux-34 provides a simple, flexible, and cost-effective solution for
transporting multiple E1 channels and 10/100BaseT Ethernet over an E3 link to
distances of up to 110 km (68 miles). It provides 16 E1 channels, and is designed
for applications requiring the full E3 bandwidth multiple E1 connectivity. The E3
link is available with single mode fiber, single mode over single fiber, or coax
interface.
The unit includes optional modular hot-swappable redundant power supplies. The
optional second link provides backup using automatic switchover in case of link
failure and a second E3 link provides automatic backup. The optional second
power supply provides power redundancy for fail-safe operation.
Optimux-34 has various optical interfaces (based on SFP interfaces) available for
both active and backup E3 link(s). It transmits each E1 channel independently so
that the clock of each E1 channel is independent.
A user Ethernet port is supplied with the unit and is available for activation at any
time with a software key. Bandwidth can be allocated between Ethernet and E1
according to the requirements of the user.
An optional V.35 interface is also available.
