Section 1, System Description - System Components61186003L1-1D 1-9M13 MUX Module• P/N 1186002L1 for –48 VDC (revision K and earlier)• P/N 1186002L1 for –48 VDC or ±24 VDC (revision L and later)• P/N 1186002L2 for –48 VDC or ±24 VDC• P/N 1186002L5 for –48 VDC or ±24 VDC• P/N 1186002E1 for –48 VDC or ±24 VDCThe M13 MUX module acts as a multiplexer/de-multiplexer, accepting a single DS3 inputsignal and provides 28 DSX-1 or 21 E1 output signals and vice-versa. The MX2820 systemallows two M13 MUX modules for each DS3 signal which provides a 1:1 redundant system.Each M13 MUX pair communicates with each other to share provisioning information and thepresence of signals and trouble conditions. Each M13 MUX pair communicates with theMX2820 SCU for alarm reporting and performance monitoring. Figure 1-4 shows the MX2820M13 MUX front panel.Figure 1-4. MX2820 M13 MUX Module Front PanelThe MX2820 M13 MUX module provides the following features:• Built-in 1:1 equipment redundancy• Multiplexes 28 DSX-1 (or 21 E1 channels) into a DS3 signal• De-multiplexes a DS3 signal into 28 DSX-1 or 21 E1 channels as allowed by DS2 framing• Supports the M13 or C-Bit parity DS3 formats• B3ZS line code compatible• Automatic DS3 Line Build Out (LBO) and receive equalization1186002MUXALMACTTESTSTATTESTSTATDS1DS3
