Loop IP-6763 Typical Application

Description

The Loop-IP6763 TDMoEthernet Aggregator provides a cost-effective solution which allows operators to transport up to 32 E1/T1, 4 STM-1/OC-3 or 1 STM-4/OC-12* along with 4 Giga LAN traffic over existing IP/MPLS* or Metro Ethernet network. The E1/T1 SCSI interface is fixed on main board while there are two hot-swappable tributary slots for STM-1/OC-3 or STM-4/OC-12* plug-in card types. As the core communications network migrates from legacy TDM to IP/MPLS or Metro Ethernet, this product allows you to leverage existing capital equipment and operations efficiently and at a relatively low cost.

Loop-IP6763 TDMoEthernet Aggregator converts the TDM data stream and timing information from both PDH and SDH/SONET ports into packets and transmits to the connected IP/MPLS* or Metro Ethernet network via dual combo Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports with 802.3ad Link Aggregation capability. Another Pseudowire device converts the received packet stream back to original PDH and SDH/SONET data stream along with the original timing information.

Loop-IP6763 TDMoEthernet Aggregator employs various Pseudowire Encapsulation protocols such as SAToP, SONET/SDH CEP, CESoPSN, MEF-8*. To compensate the inherent Packet Delay Variation (PDV) of IP/MPLS* or Metro Ethernet network, Loop-IP6763 TDMoEthernet Aggregator utilizes Jitter Buffer Control and can compensate up to 512 ms with G.823/G.824 Traffic Interface conformance (+/- 1ppm).

Security is ensured via SSHv1/SSHv2 function and SNMPv1/v3 management.

Application Notes

These application notes cover many aspects of Integrated Access Multiplexer applications. While some are specific to particular products, many are applicable to most any of our channel bank, IAD, or TDM aggregation products. The principles are the same.

We invest a great deal of time and effort creating tools like these to assist our customers, so most are available only to DCB customers. If you are one of our customers and don't have the required customer access password, please contact your sales representative to obtain your free password.

Voice Pass-through with Loop Products

A question about pass through voice DS-0 circuits was recently raised. Loop product mapping provides a choice of "d" for data or "v" for voice to be designated for each DS-0. FXS, FXO and E&M circuits must all be set to "v" for voice. If a DS-0 carrying voice passes in and out of a T1 as a pass through, must this be set to "v" for voice? The answer is "yes". See this paper for details on setting a pass through DS-0 to "v" for voice and for verifying the setting. Download the note in PDF format.
