5.2.1.1 Line Interface
This block provides the eight E1 line interfaces for connection of PDH traffic.
It interfaces the Multiplexer/Demultiplexer block by transmitting and receiving
the traffic (nxE1).
5.2.1.2 Ethernet
This block provides the 10BASE-T interface for connection to a site LAN and
the 10/100BASE-T interface for Ethernet traffic in Ethernet bridge applications.
The Ethernet traffic is mapped on nxE1, where n16, using one
inverse multiplexer. The E1s are transmitted to and received from the
Multiplexer/Demultiplexer block.
5.2.1.3 O&M
This block provides the LCT connection. The equipment is accessed using a
local IP address.
