Section 1: Product Overview 1.1 Introduction The T3Mux is an M13 Multiplexer which takes on one side inputs from the Telco in the form of a DS3, which carries up to 45 Mbps of 64 kbps channelized voice channels and rearranges the DS-3 framing into 28 T1 framings.
T3Mux for any damage that might have occurred in shipment. If damage is suspected, file a claim immediately with the carrier, keep the original packaging for damage verification and/or returning the unit, and contact Sangoma Customer Service. 2.2 Shipping Contents •...
2.3.1 DS3 Connectors The DSX-3 network interfaces are full-duplex circuits provided by two BNC coaxial cable connections. The receive data from the network is connected to the Rx (Input) connectors; while the transmit data from the T3Mux is connected to the Tx (Output) connectors. 2.3.2 Power Connection The T3Mux is provided with a universal AC/DC 5V, 2A, center positive power adapter.
2.3.6 Establishing Terminal Connection. To connect T3Mux to a VT100 terminal (over Serial cable), follow this procedure: 1. Download PuttyTel.exe from: ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/T3Mux/puttytel.exe 2. Start PuttyTel.exe on you Windows PC. 3. Select Serial port settings as shown on this screenshot: 4. Initialize the terminal session by clicking on “Open” button.

Once the configuration options are selected, please click “Open”, you should see the Login prompt of the Telnet Server:...
The T1 Connectors are RJ48. There are two T1 ports per connector, each in a DSX pinout. 1. A straight through cable (CABL-614G) can be used to connect directly to CSU/DSU boards such as Sangoma’s A108DE. 2. A split cable (CABL-630) should be used to connect Sangoma’s other T1/E1 boards such as the (A101D,A102D, A104D). Pinouts:...
2.4.2 Push-Buttons The Push-Button marked as “Odd” will command the T3Mux to display status of odd-numbered: T1 Ports in the range of 1 – 27. The Push-Button marked as “Even” will command the T3Mux to display status of even-numbered: T1 Ports in the range of 2 –...
3.1.2 System Configuration The System Configuration menu: Used to set IP Configuration, Telnet Password and MAC Address for the LAN Connection. The default user name for LAN Connection is “admin”, password “sangoma”. The RS232 Connection does not require user name/password.

The IP Configuration menu: Used to set IP Configuration. The options for “IP Mode” are: “Static” and “DHCP”. If Static mode is selected, the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and Primary DNS Server will also be required. By default, the device is configured with static IP Address of 192.168.10.1 and Net Mask of 255.255.255.0. The NetBIOS (Microsoft Networking) name for the device is SangomaT3Mux.
3.2.1 DS1 Status The T1 Status screen: Displays an Alarm at T1 level. Only the highest severity alarm is shown. For example, if both LOS and OOF are present, only LOS will be shown.
3.2.2 DS1 Configuration The T1 Configuration menu: Used to set T1 Configuration. Most of T1 Configuration Options are self-explanatory, except for the Clock option. The Clock Source options should be interpreted as follows: “Normal” Clock – the clock is delivered from “Upstream” (from DS3 side), if the “Upstream” clock is not available, recover the Rx clock and use it for Transmission.
Figure 3.2.2-1 illustrates how the T3Mux acts as a “pass-through” for T1 Master Clock coming from “Upstream”. T1 Master Clock T1 Normal Clock T3Mux Telco Figure 3.2.2-1. 3.2.3 DS1 Loopback The T1 Loopback menu: Used to view and control T1 loopback:...

1. Control of Local and Line Loopback in Framer (Digital Interface). 2. Control of Local and Line Loopback in LIU (Analog Interface). When a T1 Local Loopback is enabled, all data that is output by the Transmitter will be routed to the Receiver. Local Loopback is illustrated on Figure 3.3.3-1.
3.3.3 DS3 Loopback The DS3 Loopback menu: Used to: 1. Control of Local Loopback in Framer (Digital Interface). 2. Control of Local and Line Loopback in LIU (Analog Interface). When a Local Loopback is enabled, all data that is output by the Transmitter will be routed to the Receiver. Local Loopback is illustrated on Figure 3.2.3-2.

When a Line Loopback is enabled, all data that is received will be output to the Transmitter. Line Loopback is illustrated on Figure 3.2.3-1. This is the diagram of DS3 Line Loopback in LIU: Figure 3.2.3-1. This is the diagram of DS3 Local Loopback in Framer: Figure 3.2.3-2.
3.4 Utilities The Utilities menu: Used to Restore Configuration to its default state, both in the volatile memory (RAM) and in non-volatile storage (EEPROM). The “Restart System Module” option will restart the firmware so the current settings (configuration) will take effect.
T3Mux equipment). The T3MuxUp.exe program can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/T3Mux/T3MuxUp.exe Before proceeding firmware upgrade, please make sure the host and target are connected through the serial cable. Serial cable is the only way to upgrade firmware. Telnet communication is not able to complete this job.
