Characteristic

Description

Mode of operation

Besides the characteristics explained in the previous chapters, it must be indicated on a component type of the category Network element which mode of operation this component type is allocated to. ConnectMaster supports the following modes of operation:

Synchronous Time Multiplexer STM

Wave length Multiplexer WDM

Alternating Current Technology Multiplexer WT

Carrier Frequency Multiplexer TF/TFH

TCP/IP Multiplexer IP/Ethernet

Capacity

preconnection

The capacities of the card/module ports placed in the network element can be preconnected. In a multiplexer, ports of various cards can be wired up similar to the preconnection within a card.
