IMUX-56/64 MODULE OVERVIEW

CONFIGURING AN ENDPOINT TO USE BONDING

61200326L1-1A
Introduction
The IMUX-56/64 Module combines with other ATLAS components to pro-
vide a flexible disaster recovery system in the ATLAS Integrated Access Sys-
tem. The IMUX-56/64 Module supports multiple, independent BONDING
sessions with each session having the potential to use a different bandwidth.
The IMUX-56/64 Module can use either 56Kbps or 64Kbps data lines (i.e.,
channels) for any given BONDING session. The IMUX-56/64 Module can
establish a BONDING session using as few as 2 or as many as 32 channels.
Figure 1-1 shows an example application of the IMUX-56/64 Module.

The manner in which an endpoint is configured to use BONDING is unique
to each type of endpoint. Typically, it will be a reference to the number of
DS0s, with mention of BONDING in the help line. See the ATLAS 550 or 550
manuals for more information on endpoint configuration. Information may
