Fiber Remote Multi-IPE functional architecture
The Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface converts a superloop format into a
fiber-optic format and the fiber-optic format to the superloop format. Since
this is a bidirectional link, the communication and signaling information
flows from the local site to the Remote IPE site and from the Remote IPE
site to the local site.
To enhance the transmission reliability, the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE
Interface can be equipped with a redundant fiber-optic link, which is
automatically selected to carry traffic if the primary fiber-optic link fails.
The Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface performs the following main
functions:
•
•
•
•
•
Fiber-optic interface
The Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface links multiple Remote IPE sites
with the local system over single-mode or multi-mode optical fibers.
With a multi-mode fiber-optic link, the maximum distance between the
