The MX410/MX412 delivers full DS0 control to service locations, allowing carriers full utilization of DS1 bandwidth. The MX410 interfaces to four long-haul outside plant protected
DS1s via RJ-48 connectors, while the MX412 interfaces to 12 DS1s. Data and management on
the DS1s can be cross connected on a non-blocking per-DS0 basis to any DS1, V.35 port, and
four PPP ports. Data Ethernet connectivity is provided via four PPP connections used for
Ethernet network extension throughout the network and Telnet-based terminal server ports.
The MX410 houses up to two hot-swappable Power Supply Units (PSU) that provide power
redundancy when two units are deployed. At least one MX410 PSU (P/N 1189501L1) must be
inserted into the MX410 for the MX410 to function. The MX412 has an internal PSU.

MX410/MX412 System Manual
MX410 DATA PATH BLOCK DIAGRAM
As shown in Figure 3-1, the MX410/MX412 contains a 1/0 cross connect that allows DS0s to
be mapped between four DS1s (12 DS1s on the MX412), four PPP ports, and a V.35 port. Refer
to “PPP BCP/IPCP Menu” on page 5-32 for more information about using PPP.
Any DS0 in DS1 1 can be mapped to any DS0 in DS1 1-4, or any PPP port, or the V.35 port.
Any unmapped DS0 in a DS1 is filled with all ones. Therefore, if an entire T1 is unmapped,
framed all ones are sent.
The default mapping of the 1/0 cross connect is for all the DS1s to be unmapped and transmitting framed all ones. No DS0s are dropped to the PPP or V.35 ports.

Drop and Continue Application
The following applies to Remote Site #1 shown in Figure 3-2. In the Drop and Continue Application, any combination of DS0s from one DS1 can be dropped out the other DS1 ports with
the remaining DS0s continuing through to the other DS1 interface. This enables the
bandwidth of one DS1 to deliver DS0s to several sites using one MX410 at each site.

Setup
Connect the incoming DS1 (the DS1 from which the DS0s are dropped) to the DS1 1 RJ.
Connect the outgoing DS1 to the DS1 2 RJ. Connect the other DS1s using the RJ connector
on the front panel. For more information, refer to “DS1 Ports” on page 4-6.
Starting from the default blank mapping, the DS0s can be dropped using the Quick Setup
menu to the PPP and V.35 ports (see Figure 3-3). Select each port (PPP1-4, V.35) to which a
DS0 needs to be dropped from the incoming DS1. For each port, select the range of DS0s in
DS1 1 to be dropped to that port. To drop DS0s to the other DS1 ports, use the Quick Setup
menu to navigate to the Cross-Connect Mapping menu. Select the Map Multiple DS0’s option
and then select the range of DS0 and DS1 1 to be dropped to DS1 2 and enable Robbed Bit
Signaling if applicable.
Any un-mapped DS0s from the incoming DS1 will transmit All Ones. The incoming DS1 does
not have to be DS1 1, but is used only as an example.
The following four figures show an example of setting up a drop and continue application.
Figure 3-3 shows the Quick Setup menu before any DS0s have been dropped.

Drop and Insert Application
The following applies to Remote Site #1 shown in Figure 3-7. In the Drop and Insert Application DS0s from one DS1 can be dropped out to the other DS1 ports. Then, DS0s from the
other DS1 ports can be inserted into the corresponding DS0s in the other DS1. In the example
shown, any DS0 not dropped will be mapped to continue on from one DS1 to another. This
allows a DS1 to be used to transport DS0s between several sites.

Setup
Connect the DS1 from which the DS0s will be dropped to the DS1 1 RJ. Connect the other
DS1 to which the DS0s will be inserted to the DS1 2 RJ. Connect the other DS1s using the
other RJ connectors on the front panel. For more information, refer to “DS1 Ports” on page 4-6
Starting from the default mapping the DS0s can be dropped and inserted using the Quick
Setup menu (see Figure 5-24 on page 5-38). Select each port (1-5) to which a DS0 needs to be
dropped from the incoming DS1. For each port select the DS0(s) in DS1 1 to be dropped to
that port. Then, select each port and DS0 that needs to be inserted into the other DS1. For
each DS0 to be inserted select the DS0 in DS1 2 to insert that DS0. Using the Cross-Connect
Mapping menu, select each DS0 that is to be dropped to other DS1 ports as well. Select the
Map Multiple DS0’s option and then select the range of DS0 and DS1 1 to be dropped to DS1
2 and enable Robbed Bit Signaling if applicable.
For each DS0 dropped out of the incoming DS1 (DS1 1 in this example), that does not have a
DS0 dropped or inserted into the corresponding DS0 in the other DS1 (DS1 2 in this example),
map the remaining DS0s to continue the data downstream. Any unmapped DS0 will transmit
all ones.
The following six figures show an example of setting up a drop and insert application. Figure
3-8 shows the Quick Setup menu before any DS0s have been dropped.

Integrated Wireless Access Device or DS0 Grooming
The following applies to Remote Site #1 shown in Figure 3-14 and Figure 3-15. In the
Integrated Wireless Access Device Application, bandwidth is conserved by using the MX410 to
groom multiple fractional T1s into a single T1. This allows the MX410 to be used as an
integrated wireless access device (see Figure 3-14) or to transport DS0s between several sites
(see Figure 3-15). Refer to “PPP BCP/IPCP Menu” on page 5-32 for more information about
using PPP. and refer to “Alarm Pass Thru” on page 5-19 for information about visibility
through the cross connect.
