Vmux-2120
Scalability – Port Activation
Vmux-2120 can be ordered with only part of the 16 E1/T1 ports
activated, and expanded in the future by software license
Customer Benefits:
•
Cost saving: no truck rolls for future expansion
•
Easy stock management
•
Fast deployment of additional trunks:
•
Software keys emailed immediately upon order (zero lead time)
•
Unlicensed ports can be pre-configured for future activation
Vmux Trunking Slide 16
Vmux-2120
Port Activation – How does it work
EXAMPLE: Customer starts with a fully redundant Vmux compressing 8 T1s, to
be expanded in the future to 12 T1s
Present: 1 x VMUX-2120/ACR/VC/16T1/8SK
(chassis with 16 physical T1 ports, of which 8 are activated)
1 x VMUX-2120-M/VC/16T1/8SK
(redundant module with 16 physical T1 ports, of which 8 are activated)
Future: 2 x VMUX-2120-LIC/T1/4SK
(software key for activating additional 4 T1 ports)
Notes:
•
Partial port activation is available for the 16 port version only
•
Software key is linked to the module’s serial number

Vmux Trunking Slide 25
Advantages over standard VoIP
Solutions (for trunking applications)
• TDMoIP multiplexing provides higher bandwidth savings
(16:1) than any standard VoIP solution
• Full signaling transparency ensuring seamless integration
with no retraining costs or lost functionality
• Provides bandwidth reduction even without migrating to IP
networks
• Backup between IP and TDM uplinks with the same
bandwidth savings
• Single compression cycle end-to-end (Super-Tandem)
• Better resiliency to packet loss
• Supports bandwidth control mechanisms to better cope
with situations of bandwidth overflow
Vmux Trunking Slide 26
Bandwidth Considerations
• User configurable parameters:
• Voice codec used (between 5.3k & 64k)
• Packet size (tradeoff between bandwidth & delay)
• Packet type (AAL2oMPLS header - smaller than
TDMoIP - for TDM networks only)
• Application dependant parameters:
• Number of compressed voice channels in a single
bundle (The more channels, the less header
overhead)
• Actual silence percentage (typically – 50% in fixed
line networks, 35% in cellular networks)
• Easy to use calculator for case-by-case estimation of compression ratio
