MIM-8E1/MIM-8E1-F
Introduction
• MIM-8E1 module
The 8-port channelized E1/PRI interface module (MIM-8E1) transmits, receives, and processes
eight channels of E1 data traffic. In addition, you can use the module for other purposes, such
as CE1 access and the ISDN PRI function.
• MIM-8E1-F module
The 8-port fractional E1 interface module (MIM-8E1-F) differs from the MIM-8E1 module in the
following ways:
The FE1 operating mode supported by the MIM-8E1-F module allows only one n × 64 kbps
bundle to be formed on each interface, where n = 1 to 31. However, an MIM-8E1 module
allows arbitrary grouping of 31 channels and therefore multiple bundles.
The MIM-8E1-F module does not support PRI mode.
a MIM-
8E1 module, the system automatically creates a serial interface for each timeslot bundle
formed on a controller E1 interface.
