KILOMUX-2000/2100 Data, Voice and Fax Multiplexer

 

RAD
 

 RAD KILOMUX-2000/2100
Data, Voice and Fax Multiplexer

 
 

 

  • Kilomux is a compact, modular time-division multiplexer. Offering a choice of main link interface, system and I/O modules, Kilomux supports the integration of a wide range of data, voice/fax and LAN applications over one or two main links at rates from 9.6 to 768 kbps.
  • I/O modules are available for sync and async data, voice/fax and LAN internetworking, allowing the integration of most applications over a single main link.
  • Kilomux can be connected to services including leased line and DDS, as well as ISDN, Fractional E1/T1, radio and satellite.
  • Voice and fax transmission is provided through support of standard PCM (64 kbps) and ADPCM (32 kbps), as well as high quality compressed voice. The MPMLQ voice compression algorithm allows transmission of voice and fax at data rates from 4.8 kbps to 12.8 kbps. In addition, Kilomux supports both analog and digital voice interfaces for direct connection to PABX tie lines and extensions, telephone handsets and E1/T1 trunks. Connection is also available to the extension lines of ISDN PABXs.
  • Kilomux uses time-division multiplexing to ensure minimal delay and protocol transparency, so that applications such as SNA and voice are assured the bandwidth and short delay they require. In addition, main link buffers and echo cancellation on the voice channels ensure full operation over radio and satellite links.
  • Kilomux can be used in point-to-point applications between two sites, or in "V" or chain applications for multiple sites. In addition, Kilomux can operate opposite Megaplex-2100 for connection of branch offices to a central office in star topology.
  • Kilomux supports two independent configuration databases (day/night) and can switch between them in case of any network event. This feature enables alternate routing in case of failure.

    Kilomux Product Line

  • The Kilomux product line features four models, providing a best fit for different network needs. The modular design of all the products makes them easy to upgrade and customize, by simply adding I/O and System modules.
    Note: Kilomux-2100/2104 are functionally compatible with the Kilomux-2000/2004, and support all Kilomux-2000 I/O, Main Link and System Modules.

    Kilomux-2000

  • Kilomux-2000 is a modular unit, 3U high, supporting 12 I/O modules, system modules, and optional redundancy for main link and power supply.

    Kilomux-2004

  • Designed for applications in small sites, with its compact size of only 1U, Kilomux-2004 supports 4 I/O modules. Kilomux-2004 is limited to a single main link and power supply. (see separate data sheet for details.)

    Kilomux-2100

  • Kilomux-2100 is the new enhanced version of the popular Kilomux-2000. It features:
    - A high-powered CPU, able to meet future requirements
    - Software download capability to facilitate system upgrades
    - Full SNMP agent providing improved RADview support (faster operation, capable of multiple unit management from a single station)
    - Ethernet management port
    - Telnet support

    Kilomux-2104

  • Kilomux-2104 is the enhanced version of Kilomux-2004 and features the same technical improvements as the larger Kilomux-2100.

    Main Link Modules

  • Kilomux supports several different types of main link modules (KML) for compatibility with various digital data service interfaces and public services.
    Interfaces supported:
      V.35, V.24/RS-232, V.36/RS-449/
      RS-530, X.21, G.703, standard
      CSU/DSU for DDS services,
      Fractional E1/T1, ISDN Basic Access, and fiber optic.
  • One or two main link modules are supported (Kilomux-2000/2100). The second link can be used either as a redundant link for backup, or as a load sharing link providing double capacity.
  • Three main link timing modes are available, enabling receipt of clock from the main link, a sub-channel or an internal clock.

    System Modules

    KCL.1 and KCL.2

  • The Kilomux's Common Logic module monitors the system operation, sets the configuration and ensures the communication with the management station. Common logic modules can also be ordered separately for special purposes.

    KDI

  • KDI is a system module which provides drop&insert functionality by bypassing of any channel or combination of channels between link A and link B (see Figure 2). Refer to separate KDI data sheet for details.

    I/O Modules

  • Up to 12 I/O modules can be accommodated by the Kilomux-2000/2100 chassis (up to 4 for Kilomux-2004/2104).

    High Speed KHS Modules

  • High speed sync data modules, operating at selectable data rates from 2.4 kbps up to 614.4 kbps. Interfaces supported include V.35, V.36/RS-449, X.21, and RS-530, as well as BRI ISDN.

    Low Speed KLS Modules

  • Low speed sync/async modules and statistical multiplexing data modules, operating at rates from 0.3 kbps up to 64 kbps.

    Voice/Fax KVC and KVF Modules

  • Support is provided for standard PCM and ADPCM or high quality compressed voice. Advanced speech coding techniques include MPMLQ, complying with ITU G.723, which offers a very high voice quality, at bit rates as low as 4.8 kbps. Voice/fax modules support automatic fax identification, enabling Group III fax transmission over 9.6 kbps of bandwidth. Both analog and digital voice interfaces are supported for connection to PABX tie lines, extensions or directly to telephones, as well as to E1/T1 trunk connections and ISDN PABXs.

    LAN Modules

  • Ethernet and Token Ring Internetworking modules for connecting between remote Ethernet and Token Ring LANs.

    Diagnostics

  • Kilomux incorporates numerous test features for easy maintenance and rapid fault detection. Upon power-up and during normal operation, automatic self-test and link-tests are performed, and any problems are reported to the system management.
  • Local and remote loops can be performed for each main link and every I/O channel via soft-commands. Additionally, a built-in BERT can test any I/O data channel.

    Management

  • Kilomux offers four alternative methods for system operation and for management (i.e. configuration, diagnostics, and monitoring of the local and remote multiplexers).

    Front Panel Control

  • The front panel control system comprises an easy-to-read LCD display, a set of pushbuttons, and an array of LEDs.

    ASCII Terminal

  • An ASCII terminal can be connected locally, through a dial-up modem or via Telnet (Kilomux-2100/2104 only).

    Alarm Acquisition Management System (AAMS)

  • AAMS permits alarms acquisition of multiple units via automatic scanning. AAMS communicates with Kilomux-2000 via a supervisory port.

    RADview Management System

  • The RADview Network Management System enables complete monitoring and control from a central station via a user friendly GUI. The system provides direct on-line supervision, configuration and diagnostics.
  • All configurations are stored in non-volatile memory to ensure data integrity in the event of a power failure.
  • Kilomux-2000 collects and stores alarm information in memory; each alarm is time and date stamped. This information can be easily read by the management system.
  • Kilomux-2000/2004 can be managed by a PC-based RADview application (RADview-PC/KM) that features an SNMP proxy agent.
  • Kilomux-2100/2104 features full SNMP capability and can be managed either by PC-based (RADview-PC/TDM) or HP-Openview UNIX (RADview-HPOV/TDM) systems.
  • Multiple Kilomux units can be controlled from a single PC or UNIX workstation.
