Chapter 1 Introduction  Optimux-XLT1 Installation and Operation Manual 
1-6 Functional Description
A selection of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, T1 and high-speed channel modules permits 
a variety of multiplexing schemes for LAN and CO sites. The Ethernet or Fast 
Ethernet ports are connected directly to the local network or to an Ethernet LAN. 
The port activity and the link integrity are monitored either by front panel LEDs or 
by an external terminal. The transmission of the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet channel 
is implemented by a built-in bridging function operating at the 6.639 Mbps, 
"almost wire-speed", rate and supports up to 10,000 (Ethernet) or 16,0000 (Fast 
Ethernet) addresses. 
The T1 interface complies with the ITU-T Rec. G.703. Line coding is B8ZS. A pair 
of LEDs monitor loss-of-signal and AIS on each T1 receive line. 
For the high-speed modules (V.35, RS-530 and X.21), the desired physical port 
connector is achieved by the use of an appropriate adapter cable, which is 
supplied with the product. 
Management Requirements 
Optimux-XLT1 operates locally using on-board switches and jumpers to configure 
the operation modes and front panel LEDs to monitor system failure and tests 
(loop connections). Alarms are monitored using the dry contacts of the 
Optimux-XLT1 alarm relays on a dedicated D-type connector. 
An ITU-T V.24/EIA RS-232 port enables monitoring and tests using an ASCII 
supervision terminal. 
The management interface also includes an SNMP agent that enables SNMP 
management of the Optimux-XLT1, using the Ethernet protocol. The SNMP 
management capability enables fully graphical, user-friendly management using 
the RADview network management stations offered by RAD, as well as 
management by other SNMP-based management systems. 
Remote management is also possible using the Telnet communication protocol, 
which uses TCP/IP communication, without the SNMP service. Telnet support 
enables a remote IP host to control the operation of Optimux-XLT1 using functions 
identical to those provided by a supervision terminal. The Telnet management 
function can be protected by the manager password feature. 
When using Telnet for management, the Software Downloading option is not 
operational.
