Product Overview
E3, 34Mbps
Multiplexer is a third order skip multiplexer / demultiplexer unit, based on PDH
(Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy) technology. It multiplexes sixteen 2.048Mbps (hereafter
referred to as 2Mbps) E1 tributaries into a single 34.368Mbps (hereafter referred to as
34Mbps) E3 tributary. The multiplexer / demultiplexer also does the reverse processing
i.e. demultiplexing a received 34Mbps stream into sixteen 2Mbps E1 tributaries.
E3, 2/34 Mbps Multiplexer system consists
of two E3, 2/34 Mbps terminals one each at the local and remote ends, connected through a
34Mbps stream, providing end to end services for sixteen, 2Mbps streams. Both local and
remote terminals can be monitored and controlled by a Network Management System (NMS)
connected to the local terminal.
The E3, 2/34 MBit/Sec. Digital PDH Multiplexer provides 16,
2Mbps E1 electrical interfaces which are multiplexed to 1, ITU-T compliant E3,
34MBits/Sec. G.703 electrical interface.

The system may be deployed independently (with an industry standard OLTE) or in
conjunction with Optical Line Terminating Equipment (OLTE) in the following applications:
- To provide inter-connectivity between two
small switches (central offices).
- To provide connectivity between the Central
Office and the Remote Site in "Fiber In The Local Loop" application.
- To connect ISP's (Internet Service
Providers) to the "telco".
- To provide an intermediate connecting
link at 34MBits/Sec. in mixed PDH/SDH networks.
External Interfaces:
E3 unit provides the following interfaces to the external world:
- 16, primary rate, 2Mbps, 120 ohm balanced interface
- 1, third order, 34Mbps, 75 ohm unbalanced interface
- -48V input for E3, 2/34 on-board power supply
- RS232 interface for connection to Network Management System,
used for configuration and monitoring of the E3, 2/34 multiplexer.
- 2 alarm extensions for visual and audible alarms.

PROGRAMMING AND MONITORING
E3, 2/34 Mbps Multiplexer offers
programming via an RS232 port for control and monitoring of the terminals. Both local and
remote multiplexer can be monitored and controlled using a PC loaded with the NMS software
connected to the local terminal.
