IMUX 2000

MODULE CONFIGURATION STORAGE:

LOCAL/REMOTE OPERATION AND

MODULE CHARTS

RFL IMUX multiplexers have the ability to store and control programming

information of various operational parameters, both on port (DS1) and on

channel (DS0) level.

An IMUX shelf contains Common Module(s) which interface to the DS1 port

and which control the shelf. Channel Modules within the shelf handle the

individual DS0 channels and can be controlled by the Common Modules.
