iConverter®
4xT1/E1 MUX/M Multiplexer
Description
The iConverter 4xT1/E1 MUX/M multiplexes four T1/E1s and Ethernet onto a fiber optic transport link,
and features remotely managed testing and configuration capabilities. The iConverter 4xT1/E1 MUX/M
operates in a back-to-back configuration, with one multiplexer at each end of the fiber transport link.
The 4xT1/E1 MUX/M consists of a 4xT1/E1 MUX module and a TM3 fiber transport module installed
in a 2-Module chassis.
This User Manual describes the hardware functions of the iConverter T1/E1 MUX/M Revision 3.0 or
higher. The revision of the product can be confirmed by removing the TM3 transport module. The revision
is printed on a small white label (xx/30). All modules in the chassis should be at the latest firmware
revision to insure proper operation. For detailed software configuration information,
to the Menu Driven Interface User Manual.
Configure DIP-Switches
The 4xT1/E1 MUX/M is comprised of an iConverter TM3 fiber transport module and an iConverter
4xT1/E1 MUX modules installed in a 2-module chassis.
DIP-switches on both modules provide detailed configuration of the Ethernet and T1/E1 ports.
TM3 Transport Module
The DIP-switches for the TM3 Transport modules is shown in Figure 1.

SW1 (1): P1 Auto-Negotiation/Manual "AN / Man"
When this DIP-switch is in the Down "AN" position (factory default), the fiber port automatically determines
the duplex and pause modes of the connected device. If the connected device cannot provide the proper
signal to indicate its own mode of operation, the DIP-switch should be set to the Up "Man" position. When
in manual mode, no capabilities are advertised and the port operates in full-duplex mode.
