1 Introducing the V100
1.1
General Overview
The V100 multiplexer represents the culmination of many years' experience in the design of
communications equipment. Not only does it provide an impressive range of features and options, but
uses innovative and state-of-the-art technology to yield a high-performance solution to a diverse range of
voice/data/audio and IP applications.
The architecture of the product has been designed to meet all essential requirements and yet allow for
almost unlimited expansion and flexibility. The 1U chassis is the most compact format for mobile comms
and its rugged and reliable design makes the V100 ideal for military or commercial deployment in remote
areas. By linking many chassis together, a sophisticated hub site can be commissioned which exploits the
versatile routing and bandwidth agility of the product.
The V100 allows voice, data, audio and IP sources (termed as "tributaries") to be multiplexed together
over common network paths (termed as "aggregates") between V100s.
All data ports are viewed as universal, as they may be configured to be either aggregate link or tributary
port. They may be synchronous or asynchronous, presented on a standard 15-way connector with V.24,
V.11, RS530, V.35 or RS449 electrical interfaces all selectable from the supervisor port without the need
to change cards or remove the lid. Each data port provides the ultimate flexibility in clocking options. This
allows a unit to accept, source or onward link clocks, or even operate with asymmetric bandwidths. The
basic unit is fitted with two data ports.
