Nomus tMux
STM-1 Terminal Multiplexer
The Nomus T-Mux is an STM-1 Terminal Mux CPE. When used opposite an STM Add-Drop Mux, it provides an economical means of transporting 4 E1s & Ethernet Data over SDH networks. When used as a pair, it provides point-point connectivity over a fibre-optic link.
The T-Mux WAN STM-1 interface is provided with a choice of LC or SC connectors. Various fibre modules can be provided by Nomus, based on user requirement. It optionally supports 1+1 MSP protection. Clocking modes supported are: Internal, Recovered from STM or from E1.
The T-Mux provides 4 E1 interfaces operating in unframed & balanced mode, conforming to ITU G.703. The E1 data is mapped to 4 VC12s in a single VC3. The T-Mux also supports 2 FE ports for Ethernet data transported by bonding 2 VC3s for a bandwidth of 96.6 Mbps. Encapsulation & Bonding is based on industry standard GFP/VCAT/LCAS. It provides bridging or transparent mode with support for VLAN frames. It provides VLAN & DSCP based QoS with rate limiting.
The Nomus T-Mux provides a complete management suite on an out-of-band Ethernet Console for HTTP, Telnet & SNMP based management. Front Panel switches provide per channel loopbacks with visual status being provided by LEDs. Power supply is through an internal SMPS which supports both a wide range AC or DC inputs.
