Redundancy options
The optional redundancy on common logic, main
link and power supply ensures a high level of
system reliability on Megaplex hubs.
R2 support
The Megaplex also includes R2 support with
transparent MFC/decadic implemented within the
main link. This allows the customer to connect a
legacy R2-PBX to a digital (E1 CAS) PBX, thus
extending the lifespan of existing equipment.
TDM over IP support
Megaplex incorporates RAD’s TDMoIP technology
in the ML-IP main link module. This enables all
existing TDM services to be transported over
packet switched networks. With the ML-IP
module, the Megaplex can be connected in a
daisy-chain topology where multiple Megaplex
units can be cascaded together. TDMoIP support
also allows the Megaplex to operate opposite
the IPmux family of TDMoIP gateways. Along
with TDMoIP, Megaplex supports Resilient Fast
Ethernet Ring (RFER) with under 50 msec ring
restoration capabilities. Up to 40 E1 or 50 T1
TDM circuits can be connected per Fast Ethernet
ring or daisy chain.
The addition of TDMoIP functionality further
expands the broad scope of solutions supported
by the Megaplex family and IPmux family. For
more information about the TDMoIP concept,
please refer to chapter 7.
Management options
The Magaplex-2100 and Megaplex-2104 feature
flexible management capabilities, including local
management via an ASCII terminal (RS-232). In
addition, remote management can be performed
either inband using the network or user ports or
out-of-band using a dedicated management
port, while maintaining separation between
management and user traffic via the use of
VLANs. Advanced FCAPS (Fault, Configuration,
Administration, Performance, Security) and
diagnostic tools are provided by RADview-EMS,
RAD’s carrier-class element management
system, and/or by RADview-SC/TDMoIP, RAD’s
network management system, via an SNMP-
based GUI.
The devices can also be accessed directly, using
Telnet.
Diagnostics
Megaplex incorporates test features for rapid fault
detection and easy maintenance. Once in operation,
all system and I/O modules undergo self-testing,
and problems are reported to the management
system. Local and remote loops may be performed
on each channel and on the main links.
Any timeslot can be selected for BERT/tone
injection. In addition, a loop can be initiated per
any timeslot.
The ABCD status of any voice channel can be
captured with a single click (signaling monitoring).
Alarms
Alarm information is stored in the common logic
module and is automatically read by the
management system from any node. Up to 256
alarms can be stored in a queue, and a maximum
of 1,024 alarms can be stored in a file on the PC,
to be read by the management system.
System modules
The common logic module stores configuration
and event information, and uses a SLIP/PPP or
Ethernet connection to communicate with the
management station via an SNMP agent. Flash
EPROM for remote software download, Telnet and
an ASCII craft terminal are also supported.
