Modular T1/E1 Multiplexer
T1/E1 and Ethernet Managed Multiplexer System
The iConverter Modular T1/E1 Multiplexer transports up to
sixteen T1/E1 circuits and 10/100/1000 Ethernet over point-
to-point ber, CWDM channel or Ethernet Virtual Connection
(EVC). This exible and scalable system is comprised of an
iConverter Fiber Transport module, and one or more iConverter
4xT1/E1 MUX modules installed in a 2, 5 or 19-module chassis.
Each iConverter Fiber Transport module and up to four
contiguous iConverter 4xT1/E1 MUX modules combine to form
a MUX group. A MUX group can connect with another MUX
group at the opposite end of a dedicated ber link or EVC.
A MUX group can also interoperate with a Managed iConverter
xed-conguration T1/E1 Multiplexer.
Multiple MUX groups can be installed in a chassis, enabling
high-density, star-topology deployments.
There are three Fiber Transport modules available: the
iConverter TM3, the iConverter GM3 NID plug-in module and
the iConverter GM4 NID plug-in module. The TM3 supports
Ethernet Link OAM with IEEE 802.3ah. The GM3 and GM4
NID modules support Carrier Ethernet Service OAM with IEEE
802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management and ITU-T Y.1731
Performance Monitoring. See the ber transport module
comparison table on page 2 for more information.
The Fiber Transport module is available with xed-ber or Small
Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, and feature two Ethernet
backplane ports for additional Ethernet connectivity to adjacent
modules. A common application of this feature is to combine a
4-Port switch module in the adjacent slot to provide a solution
with four additional 10/100/1000 ports.
The iConverter 4xT1/E1 MUX module supports four copper
RJ-48 ports for balanced T1/E1 applications. Adapter cables
are available to convert each RJ-48 interface to a BNC interface
for unbalanced E1 transport applications.
The 4xT1/E1 MUX module features an optional external clock
port that can be congured as a clock input or output. As an
input, the port can be connected to an external clock source,
such as a GPS receiver, to provide a common reference
clock for the module. As an output, the port can provide the
recovered T1/E1 clock from port 1 to other TDM equipment
at the site.
The T1/E1 Multiplexer modules are part of the iConverter multi-
service platform, and can be installed in a chassis equipped
with iConverter Network Interface Devices, media converters,
transponders and CWDM multiplexers. The multi-service
platform is capable of delivering Ethernet, TDM, SONET
and other services across a Wide Area Network. iConverter
modules can be added to this scalable architecture to expand
bandwidth capacity and add new services.
KEY FEATURES
The T1/E1 Multiplexer system features integrated management.
Monitoring, conguration and remote testing functions can be
accessed through the iConverter Fiber Transport module serial
console port, IP-based SNMP or IP-less OAM channels. Alarm
relays and SNMP traps provide fault notication for loss of
power, LOS and AIS.
SNMP management via NetOutlook provides a graphical user
interface for real-time port and module information, local and
remote conguration, and trap notication.

iConverter Modular T1/E1 Multiplexer
APPLICATIONS
The iConverter Modular T1/E1 Multiplexer system is designed
for service provider, enterprise, government and energy/utility
networks.
Enterprise and government applications include extension of
multiple T1/E1 circuits from a service provider demarcation
point, and building-to-building PBX connectivity.
Service provider and utility applications include mobile
backhaul and business services that require delivery of multiple
T1/E1s and/or Ethernet.
Mobile Backhaul
In this application diagram, iConverter Modular T1/E1
Multiplexers deliver Ethernet and T1 mobile backhaul.
At the Mobile Switching Center, two iConverter MUX groups
are installed in a high-density 19-module chassis, and connect
to TDM and IP networks. The iConverter MUX groups convert
RJ-45 Ethernet and T1 interfaces to ber, and transport the
multiplexed data over the ber links.
At the Cell Sites, MUX groups are installed in 2-module or
5-module chassis. The ber link with multiplexed data is
converted back to RJ-45 Ethernet and T1 interfaces where
they connect to the tower’s radio equipment.
Using the GM3 or GM4 Transport modules enables a seamless
migration from 2G (T1s), to 3G (T1s and Ethernet), to 4G/LTE
(Carrier Ethernet).
Ethernet and TDM Business Services
In this application diagram, iConverter Modular T1/E1
Multiplexers deliver Ethernet and T1s over an Ethernet Virtual
Connection (EVC). A two module chassis with a GM4 Fiber
Transport Module and a T1/E1 MUX module are installed at
each customer location.
The EVC transports the business Ethernet and four T1 circuits
between the two customer locations across a Carrier Ethernet
network. The Ethernet transports business data, and the T1s
are used for telephony services (PBX to PBX connectivity).
