Overview
The MUX Setup configuration options are set using
the Configuration branch. When an MCMP or TDM
circuit card is installed, the following functions are
available:
•
MCMP mode
•
TDM mode
•
Digital Bridge mode
•
CBrdg
•
EBrdg
•
Basic mode (MUX = None)
MCMP Mode
When the MUX function is set to MCMP,
multichannel multipoint circuitry is activated. All six
ports are available for multiplexing, digital-sharing, or a
combination of both.
Using a management channel, the control DSU is in
constant communication with each tributary DSU. The
management channel is included in the MCMP circuitry
and transmits data without disrupting user-transmitted
data. In
, the DDS multipoint circuit is
transmitting to three tributaries.
The management channel is also used for framing and
an underspeed channel is not required. MCMP can
support up to forty addressable tributary devices
(40 DSUs or 20 DSUs with DBMs). With multichannel
multipoint and digital sharing, up to three digital-sharing
groups can be formed at each tributary site.
