1. The document provides step-by-step instructions for configuring a point-to-point unframed TDMoIP connection between a Gmux-2000 unit and an IPmux-14(1) unit.
2. Key steps include loading the hardware configuration on the Gmux, setting the host IP and management parameters, configuring the E1 port and associated bundle, and establishing the connection between the bundles on the two units.
3. Rate limiting is applied on the connecting switch port between the IPmux and Gmux to simulate a network impairment that must be considered in the bundle configuration.

Gmux - Creating Bundles
What is a BUNDLE?
The TDM traffic can be divided into bundles.
We take one or several time slots and call them a “BUNDLE”.
When using an E1/T1, the minimum time slots in a bundle is 1 and the
maximum is 32 for E1, or 24 for T1.
Each bundle containing a certain amount of TS gets a unique ID number.
In most IPmux units this ID can be selected by the User from the port’s
number ID pool. However this is not the case on the Gmux.
28. 28
Info Tools FAQ Database Animation Search
Bundle Connection Configuration Sequence
Unlike the regular IPmux configuration mode, connecting between bundles
and TDM interfaces is final configuration step.
Gmux configuration sequence would be:
1. Setting up the Host IP
2. Setting up the TDM interface characteristics
3. Setting up bundles
4. Connecting the TDM interface with a bundle
29. 29
Info Tools FAQ Database Animation Search
Bundle Numbers
The freedom to associate bundles to TDM ports means that now bundle ID
numbers are no longer associated with a specific port.
In the regular IPmux units, bundle ID are limited according to the related
port.
For example, on the IPmux-14, the Bundle ID range for E1 port#1 is: 1-32,
for E1port#2 its: 33-64 and so on.
On the Gmux the bundle ID numbers range is only used internally by the
device.

Troubleshooting Procedure
The reason for the Sequence Error and Underflow events are the insufficient
BW available for the TDMoIP traffic on the IPmux-14 to Gmux direction.
The rate limit cases the lost packets and also the occasional underflows.
You will need to find a way to reduce the TDMoIP throughout to below
3Mbps.
This can be done by changing the TDM bytes per frame value.

Solution
You are correct!
The minimal TDM bytes per frame value which will get the TDMoIP
throughput below 3Mbps is 4x48 (results in:2.854Mbps).
Please change the TDM bytes value on both the Gmux and IPmux-14(1)
and recheck the bundle connectivity.

What is TDMoMPLS?
TDMoMPLS is a flavor of the TDMoIP circuit emulation standard.
Basically by using TDMoMPLS we are replacing the UDP and IP headers
used by the TDMoIP format, with a single MPLS header.
By that we are able to save up to 24 bytes (40% !!!) of the traditional
TDMoIP header.

About RADview Service Center
The RADview Service Center application is a powerful management
tool for provisioning and monitoring TDM over IP (TDMoIP)
services.
It also offers embedded management capabilities .
The Service Center’s intuitive GUI interface, “point-and-click”
functionality and easy-to-follow wizards increase the efficiency and
accuracy of the service provisioning process.
The SC supports most IPmux configurations, statistics and
