These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required to support DS1 Converter remote Port Network connectivity over an IP network using the RAD Data Communication IPmux-14 TDMoIP Gateway and Avaya S8700 Media Server Multi-Connect configuration running Avaya Communication Manager. Features and functionality were validated and performance testing was conducted in order to verify operation under load.
Media Gateway, which will be referred to as the main Port Network (main PN). The remote site consists of Avaya SCC1 Media Gateway, which will be referred to as a remote PN. An Avaya DS1 Converter TN1654 board is installed in the main PN and another TN1654 board is installed in the remote PN.

Both the main PN and remote PN derive synchronization from a common public source - a public T1 (E1). At the main site, a public network T1 (E1) is connected to a T1 (E1) board in the Avaya MCC1 Media Gateway. At the remote site, a public network T1 (E1) is connected to an External port on the RAD IPmux-14 device, and this device transmits the synchronization clock to the Avaya SCC1 Media Gateway via the T1 (E1) links associated to the DS1 Converter board.

4. Configure Avaya Communication Manager Avaya Communication Manager can be configured via a System Access Terminal (SAT). There are two basic configuration steps that need to be followed when the DS1 Remote Port Connectivity application is deployed: 1. Configure Fiber link - The DS1 Converter Complex is installed in place of the conventional fiber.

As described in Section 1.1, at the main site, a public network T1 (E1) is connected to a T1 (E1) board in the Avaya MCC1 Media Gateway to provide Synchronization to the main PN. All the boards on the main PN derive synchronization from this common source, including the DS1 Converter board.

Remote PN Synchronization As stated in Section 4.2, connect the External Clock port on the IPmux-14 to a T1 from public network (a common source to the main PN).
TDMoIP Gateway device. The testing was performed for transporting four T1s from an Avaya MCC1 Media Gateway (main PN) at the main site to an Avaya SCC1 Media Gateway (remote PN) at the remote site. The same tests were repeated for transporting four E1s.
