    Layer 2 IMUX group. The typical configuration is a head-end WAN aggregation point for up to 8 T1s into a single WAN physical interface. The HSIM-W85 is able to uplink any combination of single T1s or multiple T1 IMUX groups to the backbone.

  • Page 16: Data Flow In The Hsim-W85

    This process is followed in reverse when a packet is transmitted from the host platform out the T1 ports. The host platform notifies the HSIM-W85 when a packet is coming and transfers the packet to the memory. The HDLC format is applied to the data, then the data is framed to a T1 format, and passed to the framer.
