Introduction

The FM-60 is a flexible transmission system, which provides voice and data applications by time division multiplexing and de-multiplexing on 2.048 Mbps E1 signals. Timeslot interchange (TSI) technique is applied to provide timeslot assignment and timeslot interchange capability, so that any 64 Kbps or Nx64 Kbps user signals can be assigned and cross-connected to any E1 timeslot(s). The FM-60 has a compact design. It is equipped with 18 slots for various units. Three of them are for common units, and the remaining fifteen slots are for channel units. The channel units provide versatile user services. All the channel units are hot-swappable, and different types of channel units can be placed in the FM-60 simultaneously with arbitrary combination. The FM-60 features powerful diagnostic capabilities. Several types of loopbacks can be activated for the units. Featured with a built-in SNMP agent, the FM-60 supports network management for operation, administration, maintenance, and provision. It can be managed through user-friendly GUI management software. FM-60 is equipped with two RS-232 ports and one Ethernet port for management. Moreover, the FM-60 supports remote management capability, which allows it to be managed over in-band E1 timeslot. Accompanied with the static routing function, management messages can be routed from one FM-60 to next FM-60 over E1 line, so that the remote management capability can be greatly extended. The FM-60 also provides the function of remote control with CT-128 Multiple-Rate NTU and CT-50 Subrate NTU. When the CT-128 or the CT-50 is connected to the FM-60, it can be remotely controlled by the network management system.

System Diagram

The FM-60 consists of customer interface units (channel units), one E1 line interface unit (ELIU or ELIU2), one maintenance and control unit (EMCU-B), and two power supply units (EPSU). The digital or analog user signals from the customer loops are terminated by channel units (CU), and are then transmitted to the EMCU-B. Time slot interchange for transmitting the CU data to the desired E1 time slots or to other CU locations is performed inside the EMCU-B by the time slot interchange (TSI). Interchanged data is sent to the ELIU/ELIU2 for transmitting data to the corresponding time slots on E1 lines. The FM-60 timing sources can be generated from a 2.048 MHz external clock, received E1 lines, and internal oscillator. The EMCU-B selects one of these clock sources and connects it to the phase lock loop (PLL) inside EMCU-B to derive system synchronization clocks of FM-60. The EMCU-B also generates a 2.048 MHz output clock.

E1 Line 1+1 Protection

E1 Line 1+1 protection guarantees data is correctly transmitted or received on the E1 line. This function requires two E1 lines for redundancy purpose. Normally, data is transmitted or received on both lines but only the data on the active E1 line can reach the destination. When the master E1 line is in a bad condition, the slave line will be activated immediately. The data on the slave E1 will then reach its destination. The four E1 lines are divided into 2 pairs: 1st E1 & 2nd E1 (1&2) and 3rd E1 & 4th E1 (3&4). STEP 1: Tick 1&2, 3&4, or both to select the E1 pair (s). STEP 2: Select a threshold of the bit error rate. STEP 3: Select a lock-in number. STEP 4: Specify an E1 line to be the active E1. STEP 5: Click the set 1&2 or set 3&4 button to apply the settings.

The lock-in number is the switchable times between active and slave E1 lines. If the BER of the active E1 line exceeds the threshold, the slave line will be activated. The active E1 will be used again when it returns to normal (BER below the threshold). This cycle is called a switchable time. When the lock-in number is reached, the system will fix on the slave E1 line and no switch will be processed. Figure 5-2 E1 1+1 Protection

In-band Management via E1 to LAN

The FM-60 not only provides management in an E1 environment, but also in a LAN environment. This application shows the combination of both environments. In real applications, the customer may utilize the E1 network to manage the devices located in the remote LAN. This provides a flexible way for network management. In this application, the FM-60 in the central site communicates to the FM-60A in the remote LAN via E1. Both FM-60s must have EMCU-B and ENRS cards. FM-60 A uses the LAN port of the ENRS to connect to the LAN. In the remote LAN, FM-60 B and FM-60 C only need the EMCU-B, and they connect to the LAN via the LAN port of the EMCU-B.

22.1 Overview

ELAN- LAN Extension Unit

The ELAN is a channel unit of the FM-60 E1 Flexible Multiplexer. An ELAN can be installed in any CU slot and up to three ELAN modules can be installed in one FM-60 shelf. An ELAN is designed to provide LAN extension between networks. In addition to bridging function, this unit also supports static routing. With the use of the ELAN module, customers can easily establish an intra-network connecting multiple distant locations. Each ELAN module is equipped with one 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on its front panel. This RJ-45 port is used to connect to the Local Area Network. Each ELAN supports eight HDLC controllers. That is, up to eight different paths can be established via the TSI assignment on the FM-60. Each path can be allocated its own bandwidth (E1 time-slot) and may go to any E1 line. Each card can support a total bandwidth of up to 32 time-slots. The destination of each path can be either an IP address, or a sub-network with a user-defined network mask.

EATU- ADSL Channel Unit

The FM60-EATU is a channel unit of the FM-60 E1 Flexible Multiplexer. This unit has four ADSL ports for Internet access. With its concentration scheme and TSI capability, multiple end users ADSL traffic can be concentrated onto any time-slot of an E1 line to increase the bandwidth utilization. At the ISP side, the only requirement is an unchannelized E1 router/bridge, such as CT-591, to terminate the traffic. The FM60-EATU is equipped with two Ethernet LAN ports, which enable for cascading with other EATU units to accommodate more ADSL services over an E1 line. It also enables interfacing capability with an external router/bridge to allow for more advanced functions. With the EATU channel unit, the FM-60 can be enhanced as an integrated access platform providing not only a leased line, but also ADSL services. There are two different types of EATU:
!"

Master: Besides the ADSL circuits, this card type can support TSI capability to concentrate ADSL traffic onto an E1 line.

Appendix E: Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Unable to access the FM-60 via the CID software over PPP STEP 1: Check the session baud rate. Make sure both your modem and the FM-60 are set to the same rate. The factory default setting of the FM-60 is 38.4 Kbps. You can modify the rate to 19.2 Kbps via the CID. STEP 2: Check the IP address of the CID port. The default setting of the CID port IP address is 192.168.1.10. use the new IP address to log on. The following is an example on using the default IP address to access the FM-60. If it was changes,

STEP 3: Make sure you have reset FM-60 after changing the baud rate of the CID port. STEP 4: You must manually assign an IP to your PC that runs the CID software, and make sure it is set to the same network segment as the FM-60 CID port (the default IP of FM-60s CID port is 192.168.1.10).
