Application Flexibility
The JungleMUX T1 Multiplexer (T1MX), a part of the field proven
JungleMUX digital transport and access system, supports a wide
range of DS0 applications.
The T1MX can be deployed in several network configurations such as:
· Terminalmultiplexer
· Add/Dropmultiplexer
· Crossconnectconfiguration
The T1MX's Compact Digital Access and X-connect (CDAX) unit provides
integrated multiplexer control including network management, T1 line
interfaces and DS0 cross connect. The 96 x 96 cross connect permits
the grooming and consolidation of DS0 channels between multiple T1s,
or from multiple T1s to a T1 drop port on the CDAX unit paddleboard.
The T1MX can be used in T1 leased line, microwave radio, or
SONET networks, as well as dedicated copper and fiber optic cable
applications. Standalone T1 networks connecting multiple facilities, or
multiple sites within a single large facility, provide an efficient and cost
effective telecommunication solution.
The T1MX is a a powerful solution to extend the reach of JungleMUX
SONET Multiplexer networks.
The T1MX provides best of class solutions for electric power grid
protection and control, pipeline control, as well as water, rail and
highway mission critical applications.
Interface Units
Supporting a wide range of DS0 interface units, the JungleMUX T1MX
has voice, data, teleprotection and Ethernet options. For high circuit
count applications, the T1MX offers expansion shelves to grow with
the network's requirements.
Reliability
Designed for critical infrastructure applications, the JungleMUX T1MX
supports full duplex T1.102 (ITU-T G.703) 1.544 Mb/s channelized
circuits ensuring low latency for DS0 applications.
With hot swappable units, the T1MX eliminates the need to power
down the multiplexer for unit additions, minimizing traffic disruptions.
In addition, the T1MX offers an optional redundant multiplexer control
and T1 line unit (CDAX unit). This protects against CDAX unit failure
and ensures rapid, automatic cutover to a hot standby CDAX unit,
maximizing system uptime and reliability.
Local or Remote Configuration
Allowing simple installation, ongoing management and maintenance
of the multiplexer, without expensive workstations, the JungleMUX
T1MX offers local or remote configuration, performance monitoring
and diagnostics. With settings and configuration parameters
maintained in non-volatile flash memory, configuration is maintained
after loss of power.
Network Management System
VistaNET provides remote configuration, monitoring and testing of all
common equipment and telecommunication service interface units at
any node in the system, minimizing disruption and maintenance costs.
More than one user is able to simultaneously configure and monitor
the system. Time stamped logging of alarms and intelligent processing
of alarm lists, assists in identifying hard-to-find problems, facilitates
alarm acknowledgement and provides immediate update on current
system status.
Recording of network configuration changes provides an audit trail for
future reference. A single integrated system view for interconnected
and discrete network segments simplifies management. Security is
enhanced through a multi-level password and privilege system with
automatic expiration interval, controlled by a system administrator.
Optical status information and BER statistics provide preliminary
indications of system level problems, such as fiber cable and
equipment component degradation
Applications
Electric Power utilities
Originally designed for the unique needs of electric power utilities, the
JungleMUX T1MX system supports a wide range of speciality traffic
including teleprotection (direct transfer trip and IEEE C37.94 optical
interface to protection relays), surveillance video, substation automa-
tion, Ethernet WAN/IP and telephony.
High system availability is provided through redundant common
equipment and compliance with industry standards.
The JungleMUX T1MX goes beyond industry standards for T1
communications by incorporating design characteristics that allow it
to meet IEC/IEEE RFI, SWC and EMC standards for operation in harsh
utility environments.
Industrial Facilities
The rugged design, compact size and low power consumption of the
JungleMUX T1 Multiplexer makes it the ideal solution for oil and gas,
water, as well as mining related applications.
The JungleMUX T1MX creates greater value by carrying a multitude of
services such as low speed polling data, SCADA, power measurement
data, video surveillance, Ethernet WAN/IP and PBX phone drop
extensions over a single T1 link.
Transportation Corridors
For highway, roadway, bridge, tunnel, rail transit, freight railway, and
airport applications, the JungleMUX T1MX system cost effectively
integrates services previously provided by proprietary and legacy
standards based equipment. For applications such as video surveil-
lance, toll collection, traffic monitoring and control, VMS, emergency
voice, SCADA, signaling and loop detection the JungleMUX T1MX is the
multiplexer of choice.
