The eXmux 3501 has features such as “Hitless Switching” for private ring networks with zero-data-loss path recovery technology, dual path communications for routing redundant paths over public networks and a (DACS) function for cross-connecting DS0s between T1/ E1 circuits and/or eXmux 3501 interface unit. The product is designed for harsh applications and is available in two chassis configurations; a mission-critical model that offers module hot-swap capabilities for all functional cards and a economical compact model for applications where module hot swap capability is not required.Both the 3500 and the 3501 models are interoperable within the same network.
Chassis Configurations / Hot Swap & Compact:For Mission Critical applications the eXmux 3501 is available with a Hot Swap Module option where all modules of the eXmux 3501 are field replaceable with the unit powered. All interfaces units, power supplies, and switch can be replaced in the field in seconds. The Hot Swap model is a 5RU high 19" rack mount chassis while the compact model is a 3RU high 19" rack mount chassis.
Legacy Interfaces: Accommodates up to 7 different DS0 or T1/E1 legacy interface units
plus a standard T1/E1 interface and a 2-wire telephone service channel.
Advanced VNMS with DS0 Grooming: An advanced Visual Network Management Software for effortless configurations, port mapping, maintenance and remote firmware upgrade that includes an Integrated Digital Access Cross-Connect System (DACS), allowing individual DS0 circuits from any legacy T1/E1 system to be connected to any DS0 circuits within the eXmux 3501 network or to another TDM network.
Interface Units (IU): Supports legacy IUs such as: RS-232, RS-485, Serial Server,RS-422/530, V.35, X.21, G.703, C37.94, Teleprotection, 2W & 4W E&M, 2W FXO, 2W FXS and T1/E1.Teleprotection System:An integrated end-to-end teleprotection function that provides 4 bi-directional transfer trips commands in addition to 2 controlling inputs logic and 2 outputs for alarming & status. It is mid-span compatible with the IMUX 2000 T1/E1 multiplexer MTS Teleprotection System.
Value:A lower cost solution than SONET/SDH or even T1/E1.Along with a simple and more efficient network that reduces maintenance cost and increases user productivity.
Cyber Security:SNMPv3 for Authentication and Encryption along with an embedded User Access Management System and other cyber security features meeting NERC requirements.
Real Time Critical Applications:Designed for real-time critical data applications such as SCADA/RTU, Relaying and Teleprotection with minimum latency.
Hitless Switching:A field proven path redundancy feature for private ring networks with zero-data-loss, making it ideal for critical infrastructure and protective relay applications.Dual-Path Communications:A field-proven path redundancy feature designed for public networks, making it ideal for critical infrastructure and protective relay applications.
Resilient & Dependable:Enhanced reliability by offering optional redundant power supplies and path redundancy using MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) or RSTP(Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) technology.
