HMIM-1CE3
Introduction
The 1-port channelized E3 interface module (HMIM-1CE3) provides the following features:
• Transmits, receives and handles one channel of E3 fast traffic, and provides access for E3
traffic when operating in E3 mode.
• Provides low-speed accessing service at n × 64 kbps when operating in CE3 mode. n is smaller
than or equal to 128.
E3 represents the tertiary group rate
(34.368 Mbps) of E system in the TDM
system. An E3 channel
can be channelized into 16 E1 lines through the demultiplexing processes of E23 and E12
. E
s both the E1 and CE1 modes. E23 is used to indicate either E2-to-E3 multiplex or
-to-E2 demultiplex, and E12 to indicate E1-to-E2 multiplex or E2-to-E1 demultiplex. "E23" and
"E12" discussed here represent the demultiplex process.
