TDM circuit emulation
over packet-switched
networks
IPmux®-24 provides legacy services over
packet networks. The device converts the
data stream from its user E1/T1 ports into
packets for transmission over the
network. These packets are transmitted
via the IPmux 24 Ethernet network port to
the PSN. A remote pseudowire device
converts the packets back to their original
format.
PSEUDOWIRE FUNCTIONALITY
The ASIC-based architecture provides a
robust and high performance pseudowire
solution with minimal processing delay.

IPmux-24
TDM Pseudowire Access Gatewa
y
The unit employs various pseudowire
encapsulation methods, including TDMoIP,
CESoPSN, SAToP, CESoETH (MEF 8) and
HDLCoPSN.
Proper balance between PSN throughput
and delay is achieved via configurable
packet size.
A jitter buffer compensates for packet
delay variation (jitter) of up to 180 msec
in the network.
PSEUDOWIRE QoS/CoS
Ethernet networks – outgoing pseudowire
packets are assigned a dedicated VLAN ID
according to 802.1q and marked for
priority using 802.1P bits.
IP networks – outgoing pseudowire
packets are marked for priority using
DSCP, ToS, or Diffserv bits.
MPLS networks – outgoing pseudowire
packets are assigned to a specific MPLS
tunnel and marked for priority using EXP bits.
PSEUDOWIRE TIMING
End-to-end synchronization between
circuits is maintained by deploying
advanced clock recovery mechanisms.
Clock recovery conforms to G.823 and
G.824 traffic interface using
G.8261-defined scenarios.
Advanced clock recovery conforms to
G.823 synchronization interface using
G.8261-defined scenarios and achieves
16 ppb clock accuracy.
The system clock ensures a single clock
source for all TDM links. The system clock
uses master and fallback timing sources
for clock redundancy. IPmux-24 also
provides system clock input and output via
an optional external clock port.
TDM INTERFACE
One, two or four E1 or T1 ports provide
connectivity to any standard E1 or T1
device.
The E1 and T1 interfaces feature:
•Integral LTU/CSU for long haul
applications
•G.703 and G.704 framing modes
•CAS and CRC-4 bit generation (E1)
•D4/SF and ESF framing (T1)
•Robbed bit (T1).
Figure 1. 2G/3G Cellular Backhaul

Data Sheet
ETHERNET INTERFACE
The following Ethernet ports are available:
•One network port
•One network/user port
•One user port.
The Ethernet ports accept a wide range of
Gigabit and Fast Ethernet SFP-based fiber
optic and electric, as well as built-in UTP
interfaces.
The unit can also be ordered with Fast
Ethernet interfaces only (IPmux-24/FE).
ETHERNET CAPABILITIES
IPmux-24 features an internal bridge,
operating in VLAN-aware and
VLAN-unaware modes.
VLAN stacking is used for traffic
separation between different users or
services, by defining a service provider
VLAN ID per customer or service. When
VLAN stacking is used, a service provider
VLAN tag is added to the user traffic and
removed from network traffic. Both
service provider VLAN ID and service
provider VLAN priority can be defined.
IPmux-24 provides four priority queues for
each port or pseudowire traffic flow. User
traffic can be prioritized according to
VLAN priority, DSCP, IP Precedence or per
port.
Ingress and egress rate can be limited per
user and network port. Rate limitation is
configured per packet type.
ETHERNET RING TOPOLOGIES
A G.8032 Layer-2 Ethernet ring is used by
IPmux-24 for traffic protection. This
technology builds a logical ring, defined as
a set of IEEE 802.1-compliant bridges, and
protects against link and node failures. To
achieve this, every node in the ring has
two bridge ports connected to adjacent
nodes. The ring itself is constructed
independently of the transport technology
used at the server layer. Failures in the
ring are detected by using Ethernet OAM
(Y.1731) continuity check (CC) messages
between adjacent nodes.
In addition, the unit employs Resilient
Ethernet Ring technology to construct a
self-healing Ethernet fiber ring topology
(ring resiliency is similar to that of
SDH/SONET networks). In case of link
failure on any segment of the ring, the
pseudowire traffic is rerouted within
50 ms. A single ring supports up to
16 nodes.
ETHERNET LINK PROTECTION
The unit performs link aggregation (LAG)
based on 802.3ad requirements.
Dual homing technology (1:1) allows
IPmux-24 to be connected to two
different upstream devices.
PSEUDOWIRE TRAFFIC PROTECTION
Pseudowire traffic can be backed up at
the pseudowire connection level. This
allows setting a different path for the
primary and secondary PW bundles. Both
bundles can be routed to the same or
different destinations and operate in the
1+1 and 1:1 modes.
In 1:1 redundancy with two remote
devices the PW bundles in the remote
units operate in “mate” mode. In this
mode each device monitors traffic on a
mate bundle and transfers data only when
the other bundle is inactive.

ETHERNET SERVICE OAM (802.1ag)
The unit uses the end-to-end Ethernet-
layer OAM protocol for proactive
connectivity monitoring, fault verification,
and fault isolation, according to the IEEE
802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731 requirements.
LINK OAM (IEEE 802.3ah)
Link-layer OAM according to IEEE 802.3ah
is used for fault indication and loopback
activation response.
MANAGEMENT
IPmux-24 can be configured and
monitored locally via an ASCII terminal, or
remotely via Telnet/SSH, Web browser or
RADview.
Management traffic can run over a
dedicated VLAN.
The RADview Service Center and Element
Manager packages control and monitor
pseudowire devices and circuits. The
Service Center’s intuitive GUI, “point and-
click” functionality and easy-to-follow
wizards increase the efficiency and
accuracy of the service provisioning
process.
IPmux-24 performs RADIUS client
authentication. Using SSH and SSL
encryption protocols allows secure
communication over potentially insecure
IP-based networks.
The Syslog protocol is used by IPmux-24
to generate and transport event
notification messages over IP networks to
the central Syslog server. The Syslog
operation is compliant with the RFC 3164
requirements.
SNMPv3 support introduces a user-based
security model, enhances authentication
and encryption techniques, and ensures
management traffic security.
Each management and service host has a
separate MAC address. As the unit
provides one default gateway, the user
can also specify static routes to enhance
the IP routing capabilities of the
management and pseudowire traffic.
Software is downloaded via the local
terminal, using XMODEM, or remotely,
using TFTP. After downloading a new
software version, IPmux-24 automatically
saves the previous version in non-volatile
memory for backup purposes. Similarly,
copies of the configuration file may be
downloaded and uploaded to a remote
workstation for backup and restore
purposes.
OAM AND DIAGNOSTICS
The following RFC-2495 E1/T1 physical
layer performance statistics are available:
LOS, LOF, LCV, RAI, AIS, FEBE, BES, DM, ES,
SES, UAS and LOMF.
IPmux-24 performs an internal built-in test
(BIT) after power-up. The results of the
test are visible via the local terminal.
LAN and IP layer network condition
statistics, such as packet loss and packet
delay variation (jitter) are monitored and
stored by the device.
Fault isolation, statistics and event logging
are available.
Fault propagation initiates service port
alarms, e.g. E1/T1 LOS, to reflect network
fault conditions. Alarms detected at
service ports are propagated to the
remote pseudowire device via the packet
network.

Data Sheet
Diagnostic loopbacks can be activated
inband.
Ethernet and IP-layer network condition
statistics, such as packet sequence errors
(loss or misorder) and packet delay
variation (jitter), are monitored and stored
by the device.
RAD’s TDM PW OAM mechanism verifies
connectivity, measures round trip delay
and prevents pseudowire configuration
mismatch.
The carrier-class version of IPmux-24
includes an alarm relay mechanism. The
minor and major alarms are forwarded to
a remote alarm device via dedicated pins
of the external clock RJ-45 connector.
SIMPLE NETWORK TIME PROTOCOL
IPmux-24 employs Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) for propagating and
receiving time information on a network,
according to SNTPv4 (RFC 4330)
requirements. SNTP is used to configure
data and time by learning the information
from a single or multiple NTP servers. The
clock can be configured to a local time by
defining UTC and DST offsets.
ENVIRONMENT
IPmux-24/H is an environmentally hardened
version intended for street-cabinet and
cellular-tower installations.
Notes: The /H version requires temperature
hardened SFP transceivers.
