Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer

INTRODUCTION TO CANOPY T1/E1 MULTIPLEXER
This user guide provides the installation and configuration requirements for the Canopy
T1/E1 Multiplexer, a modular gateway that works with Canopy Backhaul Modules to
enable up to four T1 (or up to three E1) circuits to be extended over Ethernet networks.
The Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer is available in two power configurations:
◦
an external 3.3-v DC power source from a 120/240-v AC adapter (supplied
by Canopy)
◦
a connection to an external −48 v DC supply.
The Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer is illustrated with Canopy Backhaul Modules (BHs) in
Figure
2.

The T1/E1 Multiplexer converts the data stream from T1/E1 ports into Ethernet packets
that are then transported over the Canopy BH link. This device can be used to extend
T1/E1 services. You can configure the Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer to operate as either a
T1 or an E1 device.
