Introduction
1.1 Overview
IPmux-1/1E offers a solution for extending traditional E1/T1, ISDN, or POTS TDM
services transparently over the widely deployed IP networks. The device converts
the data stream coming from its user ports into configurable sized IP packets that
are extended over the Fast Ethernet port and vice versa. IPmux-1/1E offers
end-to-end synchronization for voice applications. IPmux-1/1E also offers large
buffers to compensate for the delay variation inserted by the network. The device
can be used to extend E1/T1 or ISDN/POTS circuits over IP networks for
Metropolitan Area Network applications. IPmux-1/1E also features a Fast Ethernet
user port for data (Ethernet) connectivity to the IP/Ethernet network. Management
is performed locally by a terminal, or remotely via Telnet or SNMP.
Versions
IPmux-1 has a single E1/T1 port.
IPmux-1E offers one of the following options:
• 4 BRI – a card with 4 ISDN standard S-interfaces
• 4 FXS – a card with 4 FXS ports
• Optional user Ethernet port.
The IPmux family implements TDMoIP technology to carry TDM transport over IP.
IPmux-1E BRI channels are transported as TDM timeslots, while the Analog FXS
channels are digitized and carried as fractional E1/T1 with CAS.
• IPmux-1 with E1 interface
− Balanced line with an RJ-45 connector
− Unbalanced line with a mini-coaxial connector (TBNC)
• IPmux-1 with T1 interface – Balanced with an RJ-45 connector
• IPmux-1E with ISDN BRI interface –4 ISDN ‘S’ RJ-45 connectors
• IPmux-1E with FXS interface – 4 Analog ‘FXS’ RJ-11 connectors

ISDN BRI
IPmux-1E has 4-ports, S-interface only. Each port can be configured as either NT
or TE (Network/User) by jumper and software; NT or TE is configured per device.
IPmux-1E can be configured to 1, 2, 3 or 4 active ports.
IPmux-1E works in transparent mode (no termination/compression of D channels).
It operates opposite IPmux with E1/T1 and a Megaplex unit as a concentrator in
transparent mode or opposite another IPmux-1E with ISDN BRI ports.
FXS
IPmux-1E has 4 FXS interface ports for POTS connection. A central IPmux unit
with an E1/T1 CAS interface can groom FXS channels from the remote site.
IP
The data stream coming from the E1 or T1 port is converted into IP packets that
are transported over the Fast Ethernet port, and vice versa.
TDM bytes are encapsulated in a UDP frame that runs over IP and over Ethernet.
The number of TDM bytes in an IP frame is configurable for throughput/delay
tradeoff.
Each device has a single IP address (Host IP). A configurable destination IP address
is assigned to the IP packets. IP ToS field support can be configured for IP Level
Priority.
Ethernet User Port
IPmux-1E has an optional user port for user LAN connectivity/access as well as
TDM services connectivity. A transparent bridging mode is supported
(user/network Ethernet port) and a second mode which enables user port rate
limiting.
Ethernet Physical Port
IPmux-1/1E is available with Ethernet ports (user or network port). The Ethernet
network port can be either UTP or fiber. The Ethernet user port is UTP only.
• UTP option – A standard 10/100BaseT half/full duplex port with
auto-negotiation support. If auto-negotiation is disabled, IPmux-1 capabilities
can be configured to 100BaseT – full duplex, 100BaseT – half duplex,
10BaseT – full duplex, or 10BaseT – half-duplex. Half-duplex operation in
IPmux-1 network port is not recommended, because collisions and backoffs
cause large delay variation and may exceed the delay variation buffer
tolerance at the receiving end, causing buffer underflows and errors to occur.
Overview 1-7
• Fiber option – standard 100BaseF full duplex port (see Table 1-1).

E1/T1 mode (no CAS). When working opposite IPmux-1E with FXS, use E1/T1 CAS
mode.
QoS
QoS support:
• Labeling IP level priority (ToS) for TDMoIP packets
• VLAN tagging and priority labeling according to IEEE 802.1p&q for TDMoIP
packets.
The user can configure the ToS (Type of Service) of the outgoing TDMoIP packets.
This allows an en-route Layer 3 router or switch, which supports ToS, to give
higher priority to IPmux-1/1E TDMoIP traffic for delay-sensitive and secure
applications. IPmux-1 allows you to configure the WHOLE ToS byte field, since
different vendors may use different bits to tag packets for traffic prioritization.
This also enables you to work according to various RFC definitions (for example
RFC 2474, RFC 791). The user can also configure VLAN priority bits for
Level 2 Priority.
Note
Timing
IPmux-1 maintains synchronization between TDM devices by deploying advanced
clock distribution mechanisms.
Available timing modes are:
• Loopback
• Adaptive
• Internal Clock
• External Clock.

1.3 Functional Description
IPmux-1 supports a single E1 or T1 TDM interface; it provides TDM connectivity
across the IP network. A single bundle (group of timeslots) can be transmitted to a
predefined far-end bundle. IPmux-1 supports ICMP (ping), and generates ARP in
case of unknown next hop MAC addresses, answers ARP requests, and supports
802.3 Ethernet format.
IPmux-1E supports 4 BRI or 4 FXS ports for transparent connectivity over the IP
network.
Both IPmux-1 and IPmux-1E support Ethernet user port for user LAN connectivity.
Configuration and management are provided via the IPmux-1/1E local terminal,
Telnet or RADview management tool (SNMP).
Figure 1-9 shows a typical application for IPmux-1.

• Fractional with CAS.
Unframed
In the transparent mode, the incoming bit stream from each channel (regardless of
framing) is converted into IP over Ethernet frames. This option provides clear
channel end-to-end service (unframed).
Fractional
In the fractional mode, the incoming bit stream is regarded as a sequence of
n x 64 kbps channel groups (according to framing). Each predefined group of
channels is converted into a structure block. The structure block is packetized into
IP frames and transmitted.
This mode allows transmission of several selected timeslots without the whole E1
or T1 frame, as in transparent mode.
Use Fractional mode when grooming ISDN BRI channels from a remote IPmux-1E
unit.

Fractional with CAS
In the fractional-with-CAS mode, the structure block (as described under
Fractional Operation Modes, above) also includes Channel Associated Signaling
(CAS). The relevant portion of the signaling channel is packetized and sent to the
destination.
Note
Use Fractional with CAS mode when grooming FXS channels from a remote
IPmux-1E unit.
IPmux-1E ISDN BRI
The IPmux-1E ISDN BRI S interface operation modes are:
• TE mode
• NT mode.
The selected mode applies to all 4 channels. The NT or TE mode is determined by
phantom feeding and software setting, which is enabled/disabled by jumpers
located on the BRI card (see Chapter 2).
Note
TE Mode
All four channels are configured in TE (Terminal Equipment) as defined in I.430.
NT Mode
All four channels are configured in NT (Network Termination) as defined in I.430.
TE Deactivation is not used in NT mode, and Layer 1 is in active mode all the
time.
If phantom feeding is enabled by the jumpers, the TE mode cannot be selected as
the IPmux-1E operation mode. If phantom feeding is disabled, both NT and TE are
valid options.
IPmux-1E FXS
IPmux-1E FXS operates in:
• E1 mode
• T1-D4 mode
• T1 ESF mode.

The IPmux-1E FXS operation modes allow IPmux to work opposite E1, T1-D4, or
T1-ESF. Two parameters are set internally when choosing one of the options:
• A-Law/µ-Law
− A-Law when E1 mode is selected
− µ-Law is used in PCM CODEC when T1 (D4 or ESF) is selected.
• E1, T1-D4, and T1-ESF with CAS are structured differently in the TDM ↔IP
interworking function. A different structure must be used when working
opposite each one.
BRI/FXS TS Assignment in a Bundle
BRI
The TS assignment in a Bundle for IPmux-1E with BRI (when working opposite
IPmux with E1/T1 or Megaplex) is assigned as follows:

Figure 1-11. TS Assignment in a Bundle for IPmux-1E/BRI
As shown in Figure 1-11, the 4 BRI channels consume 12 timeslots in the Bundle.
The E1/T1 IPmux should work in framed mode (no CAS).
The three TS groups in the bundle are assigned according to BRI channel numbers;
the first group is assigned to the lowest BRI channel that is enabled, etc.
FXS
The TS assignment in a Bundle for IPmux-1E with FXS is straightforward. Each
timeslot in a Bundle is assigned to a specific FXS channel. Time slots in the bundle
are assigned according to FXS channel numbers; the first timeslot is assigned to the
lowest FXS channel that is configured, etc. As shown in Figure 1-11, the 4 FXS
channels consume 4 timeslots in the Bundle.
The E1/T1 IPmux that works opposite the FXS channels should work in Framed
with CAS mode.
1-14 Functional Description
Diagnostic capabilities include E1/T1 or BRI S local and remote loopback tests for
rapid localization of faults. The E1/T1 or BRI S channel can be looped locally,
toward the line, or toward the remote end (see Chapter 4 for more information).
Remote Loopback and Tone Injection are available for the FXS port.

Timing Modes
The E1/T1 Tx clock, or ISDN/FXS PCM clock, can operate in several timing modes
to provide maximum flexibility for connecting the IPmux-1 E1, T1, ISDN or FXS
channels.
Each of the clocks must be configured correctly on both the Receive and Transmit
ends to ensure proper operation and prevent pattern slips (see Figure 1-12,
Figure 1-14, and Figure 1-15).
E1/T1
The E1/T1 available Tx modes are:
• Loopback Timing – the E1/T1 Tx clock is derived from the E1/T1 receive (Rx)
clock.
• Adaptive Timing – in this mode, the E1 or T1 Tx clock is regenerated using the
Adaptive method. In this method, the fill level of the buffer receiving packets is
monitored. If the buffer begins to overfill, the regenerated Tx clock frequency
increases to avoid overflow. If the buffer begins to empty, the Tx clock (toward
the TDM device) decreases to avoid underflow.
Note
Warning
• Internal Clock Timing – in this mode, the Tx clock is received from an internal
oscillator.
• External Clock Timing – in this mode the Tx clock is taken from the external
clock input (Ordering option). The External Clock port also outputs the input
clock signal to allow connection to other units, if needed.
In Adaptive Timing mode the regenerated clock is subject to network Packet Delay
Variation and may not comply with jitter and wander specifications.
FXS/BRI
The available timing modes for the PCM clock are:
• Loopback Timing – available only when IPmux-1E BRI is configured as TE (not
available in BRI NT mode or for FXS interface). In this mode the PCM clock is
derived from Channel 1.
It is recommended not to deactivate Channel 1 while it is in loopback clock so
that data will not be damaged. If Channel 1 is disconnected or deactivated (by
the NT side), the PCM clock will change to Internal clock and a momentary
disruption will occur to the other channels (2,3,4), if they are active.
Functional Description 1-15
• Adaptive Mode – the clock is regenerated using the Adaptive method, where
the rate of arriving packets is used to regenerate the clock (see E1/T1).
• Internal Mode – the clock is received from an internal oscillator.

Network Timing Schemes
The following paragraphs describe typical timing schemes and the correct timing
mode settings for achieving end-to-end synchronization.
External Network Timing
When the edges of the network are synchronized according to an external
network clock source, all the IPmux-1 units should be configured to work in
loopback timing mode (see Figure 1-12). This topology enables any-to-any
connectivity.

Frame Format
The Ethernet frame sent by the IPmux-1 is a UDP datagram that transfers E1/T1
payload bytes over IP over Ethernet (UDP payload + UDP header + IP header +
Ethernet header).
The UDP payload size is equal to TDM bytes per frame (TDM bytes/frame
configuration).
Table 1-2 specifies the structure of the different headers, special fields, and the
payload in the Ethernet packet.

Packet Delay Variation
Packets are transmitted at set intervals. Packet Delay Variation is the maximum
deviation from the nominal time the packets are expected to arrive at the far end
device. IPmux-1 has a buffer that compensates for the deviation from the expected
packet arrival time to prevent IPmux-1 buffers from emptying out or overflowing.
Packet Delay Variation is an important network parameter. Large PDV (exceeding
the jitter buffer configuration) will cause receive buffer underflows and errors at
the E1/T1 level (see Figure 1-18).
To compensate for large PDV, configure the PDVT (jitter) buffer to a higher value.

Packets Leaving IPmux-1
Packets Arriving
PDVT (Jitter) Buffer
IPmux-1 is equipped with a Packet DVT (Delay Variation Tolerance) buffer. The
PDVT buffer or jitter buffer is filled by the incoming IP packets and emptied out to
fill the E1/T1 stream. The buffer begins to empty out only after it is half full in order
to compensate for packet starvation from the Ethernet side. The time it takes for
half of the buffer to empty out is the maximum DVT time. Delay Variation
Tolerance is configurable. The PDVT (jitter) buffer is designed to compensate for
packet delay variation caused by the network + intrinsic PDV.
It supports a delay variation of up to 300 ms for E1 or T1.

Note
To configure jitter buffer depth:
Estimated or Measured PDV introduced by the network + intrinsic PDV
(if it exists) introduced by the module as a result of configuring the
TDM bytes / frame > 48 (see explanation of calculating intrinsic PDV, below).
Intrinsic PDV
If TDM bytes/frame is greater than 48, there is an intrinsic delay variation (intrinsic
PDV). The intrinsic PDV introduced by the module is a function of n>1 in
TDM bytes/frame configuration as follows:
I.PDV (ms) = [(n-1) x 1000) / (frames per second × n]
where n =
tes/fram TDM Configured
48
eb
(n = 1 to 8).
For a bundle that contains a few timeslots (i.e. 1–3) the minimal jitter buffer should
be 6 ms.
PDVT Buffer Effect on Delay
The PDVT buffer is on the TDM path; it adds to the total end-to-end delay (see
delay calculation, below).
Ethernet Throughput
1-20 Functional Description
Configuring the TDM bytes per frame (TDM bytes/frame) parameter can reduce
Ethernet throughput (bandwidth or traffic travelling through the Ethernet). This
parameter controls the number of TDM bytes encapsulated in one frame. The
TDM bytes/frame parameter can be configured to n x 48 bytes where n is an

integer between 1 and 8. Configuring TDM bytes/frame to a higher value reduces
the IP/Ethernet overhead segment of the total packet and thus can significantly
reduce the total Ethernet throughput.
On the other hand, packetization delay and intrinsic packet delay variation (PDVT)
are increased; this contributes to a higher end-to-end delay. This effect can be
small and negligible when a full E1 (or many timeslots) are transferred but can be
very significant when few timeslots are transferred. In this case, the packetization
delay and the intrinsic PDV when configuring a large value of
TDM bytes/frame can be very large and may exceed the maximum PDVT (jitter)
buffer on the receiving end. Table 1-4 and Table 1-5 show throughput as a
function of the TDM bytes/frame configuration for full E1 and full T1.
