    DATA VOICE MULTIPLEXORS 2. Introduction 2.1 Overview 2.1.1 P URPOSE AND EATURES The Data Voice Multiplexor (DVM) is a versatile adaptive time-division multiplexor (TDM) for voice, fax, and data. The DVM allows the multiplexing of one or two low-bit-rate voice/fax channels with one synchronous data channel, for transmission through a dialup or leased-line modem link operating at rates in the range of 9.6 through 256 kbps.
  • Page 16 CHAPTER 2: Introduction Thus, the DVM allows using a single modem link for the transmission of two voice/fax channels, and in addition allows the transmission of a data channel. The DVM, especially when operating in its unique adaptive multiplexing mode, offers very high bandwidth efficiency without introducing the long, variable link delay typical of statistical multiplexors.
  • Page 17 DATA VOICE MULTIPLEXORS The voice channels are available in two options: • 2W FXO interface: Two-wire 600-ohm analog interface and FXO loop-start signaling for direct connection to PABX extension lines. • 2W FXS interface: Two-wire 600-ohm analog interface and FXS loop-start signaling for direct connection of a subscriber telephone set.
  • Page 18 CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.1.4 M HARACTERISTICS The electrical interface of the main link is user-selectable (X.21, V.35, V.36/ RS-449, RS-530, or RS-232). The main link is terminated with a DB15 female connector, wired for ITU-T X.21. When a different interface is selected, an appropriate adapter cable (available on a special-quote basis) must be inserted between the Data Voice Multiplexor and the cable connecting to the data-communication equipment (modem, CSU/DSU, etc.) serving the main link.
  • Page 19 DATA VOICE MULTIPLEXORS 2.1.6 B ANDWIDTH LLOCATION Bandwidth allocation is based on the automatic identification of the main link’s clock rate. After successful identification of the main link rate, the Data Voice Multiplexor assigns the bandwidth required by the voice channels (as selected by the user), and uses the remaining main-link bandwidth, except for the link- management and link-supervision overhead, to transmit the data channel.
  • Page 20 CHAPTER 2: Introduction • Non-adaptive mode 1: The bandwidth required for the voice channels (as selected by the user) is permanently assigned to these channels. The remaining bandwidth, minus the management and synchronization overhead, is available to the data channel. This mode is mainly intended to allow the connection of equipment that is capable of operating at non-standard data rates but cannot tolerate the clock-rate changes that occur routinely in the adaptive mode.
  • Page 21 DATA VOICE MULTIPLEXORS 2.1.7 O THER EATURES All the Data Voice Multiplexor’s operating parameters can be selected by the user, by means of internal jumpers and switches. To minimize setup time and to prevent configuration errors, the DVM has a master-slave configuration downloading facility.
  • Page 22: A Typical Application

    CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.2 A Typical Application Figure 1-1 below shows a typical application for a DVM. This application shows how an organization can use the DVM to connect privileged telephone subscribers located in another city—at a main branch office, for example—to the PABX serving the head offices.
  • Page 23 DATA VOICE MULTIPLEXORS The DVMs are inserted between the IBM devices and the corresponding modems: • The IBM 3174 and IBM 37x5 are connected to the data channels of the two DVM units. • One local subscriber line of the PABX located at the main offices is connected to the first voice channel of the DVM.
  • Page 24: Dialup-Mode Guidelines

    CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.3 Dialup-Mode Guidelines The dialup mode allows the use of a switched PSTN line to connect between two Data Voice Multiplexor units, thereby reducing the operating cost as the line is used only on demand. The dialup mode requires the use of the master-slave configuration. For proper operation, the DVM installed at the central location must be defined as the master, and the other DVM must be defined as the slave.
  • Page 25: Conditions For Activation Of The Main Link

    DATA VOICE MULTIPLEXORS 2.3.3 C ONDITIONS FOR CTIVATION OF THE A DVM will activate the main link to the other DVM upon the detection of the first valid request for connection. The link will remain connected as long as at least one valid request is present.
  • Page 26: Dialup Modem Settings

    CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.3.5 D IALUP ODEM ETTINGS Before starting the operation, the dialup modems serving the main link must be configured as follows: • Synchronous operation. • Modem clock source: - Modem connected to the master DVM: Internal clock. - Modem connected to the slave DVM: Loopback timing (that is, its transmit timing must be locked to the recovered receive clock).
  • Page 27: Control Over The Main-Link Modems

    DATA VOICE MULTIPLEXORS 2.3.6 C ONTROL VER THE ODEMS The control of the dialup modems serving the main link is made by means of the DTR line of the DVM’s main link interface. Assuming that the modems were configured as explained in Section 2.3.1.E, the sequence for setting up and for disconnecting the link between two DVM units is as follows: •...
