I-Mux Inverse Multiplexer
The ARG I-MUX transmits IP data and DVB-ASI on single or multiple E1 or T1. Up to eight E1 (2Mbit/s) or eight T1 (1.55Mbit/s) framed or unframed circuits can be added together to provide up to 15.76 Mbit/s of usable Ethernet IP bandwidth
Applications
- Transmission of IP data and broadcast quality audio and video
- High speed LAN extension
- Simple connectivity between international offices
- Higher speed lower cost connectivity than E3 and T3
- Low cost high resilient networks
Features
- Transmission over 1 to 8 framed or unframed E1 or T1 circuits
- Network ports: 75 Ohm BNC or 75/120 Ohm RJ48 connectors
- IP data port: 10/100 BaseT
- Automatically adjustment of IP data rate to available bandwidth
- DVB ASI data port: 188, 204 PAD/RS, with priority over IP data
- Up to 15.75 Mbit/s of usable data bandwidth
- Internal protection switching between E1/T1 circuits
- Compensates for up to 64 ms of delay between circuits
- 4 or 16 byte Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC)
- 1 HU compact rack mount chassis
- Dual power supplies 100-240 VAC and option 36-72VDC
- Calculated MTBF of over 30 years
- Intuitive front panel for local set-up and control
- Web browser interface
- SNMP capability for remote management
- Receiving section of the I-MUX automatically configures itself
