Introduction
1.1 Overview
IPmux-16 is a modular TDMoIP gateway. IPmux-16 modules enable up to 16 E1
or T1 circuits to be extended over IP networks. The device converts the data
stream coming from the E1 or T1 ports into configurable-sized IP packets that are
transported over the Ethernet port and vice versa. IPmux-16 offers end-to-end
synchronization for TDM applications and large buffers, to compensate for the
delay variation inserted by the network. The device can be used to extend E1 or
T1 services over high speed IP/Ethernet backbones for both Metropolitan Area
Network and corporate applications. IPmux-16 can be managed locally via an
ASCII terminal or remotely via Telnet or RADview (RAD’s SNMP-based network
management application).
