Section 1 - Introduction; Key Features; Manual Use - Harris CM-30 Installation & Operation Manual

No header here
This manual covers both the NetXpress LX IP multiplexer and the CM-30 IP interface module. The
NetXpress LX multiplexer provides convenient provisioning and management tools to enhance
operational efficiency. This IP platform supports both unicast and multicast and is compatible with the
Intraplex NetXpress multiplexer.
The NetXpress LX multiplexer combines the technology of the original NetXpress multiplexer in a
module configuration compatible with Intraplex T1 or E1 systems. The NetXpress LX multiplexer is
available in either a 3RU frame with capacity for up to 17 application modules or a 1RU frame that can
hold five application modules. This multiplexer can work in a simple point-to-point and point-to-
multipoint designs and also as an "edge" device with the NetXpress multiplexer in large, multisite
networks.
While the CM-30 IP interface module operates as the command module in a NetXpress LX multiplexer,
this module can also replace the network interface module in an existing T1 or E1 system, converting
it to IP while utilizing the existing chassis with all its audio, voice, and data modules. With the CM-30
module, you can easily transition an existing Intraplex T1 or E1 system to cost-effective IP
transmission.
