1.2 INTRODUCTIONTOCANOPYT1/E1MULTIPLEXER
This user guide provides the installation and configuration requirements for the Canopy
T1/E1 Multiplexer, a modular gateway that works with Canopy Backhaul Modules to
enable up to four T1 (or up to three E1) circuits to be extended over Ethernet networks.
The Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer is available in two power configurations:
◦an external 3.3-v DC power source from a 120/240-v AC adapter (supplied
by Canopy)
WARNING!
An external AC surge suppression device must be used with the Canopy
T1/E1 Multiplexer. For infrastructure installations, Canopy Engineering
recommends an AC line surge suppression unit that meets the standard
IEC 801-5 (EN61000-4-5) Maximum Surge Voltage (1.2x50µsec) 6 KV.
◦a connection to an external −48 v DC supply.
The Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer is illustrated with Canopy Backhaul Modules (BHs) in
Figure 1.

Figure 1: Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer with Canopy BHs
The T1/E1 Multiplexer converts the data stream from T1/E1 ports into Ethernet packets
that are then transported over the Canopy BH link. This device can be used to extend
T1/E1 services. You can configure the Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer to operate as either a
T1 or an E1 device.
Applications of the T1/E1 Multiplexer include
◦obviating leased lines.
◦implementing wireless PBX networking.
◦establishing cellular backhaul links.
◦providing homeland security backup or emergency voice networks.
◦routing LAN/WAN data on excess bandwidth.
1.2.1 EthernetInterface
The Ethernet physical layer auto-negotiation should be set to on for both sides of the
Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer.
RJ-45 connector pin-outs for the Ethernet cable from the BH to the Canopy port of the
Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer are illustrated in Figure 12 on Page 30.
