Echo 2 Mbps Multiplexer

TECHNICAL: 0118 931 2233 

Nx64 channel Configuration 

 
To change the Nx64 channel configuration, select the configuration screen (shown on page 
10) by moving the cursor to the top line on the right hand area of the screen, next to '

Nx64 

Channels:

' and pressing 

ENTER

 or 

RETURN

 
The display shows parameters for up to four data channels CH1 to CH4. 
 
Each data channel has parameters selectable as detailed in the table on the following page. 
 
 

Timeslot Assignment 

 
Timeslots are assigned by moving the cursor down to the 

Timeslot map

 section of the Nx64 

Channels screen. 
 
Timeslots may be assigned directly by pressing the appropriate key on the Supervisor port 
terminal keyboard eg: 
 
      

Pressing:

 

1

 

Assigns the slot to Nx64 Channel 1 

 

 

 

2

 

Assigns the slot to Nx64 Channel 2 

 

 

 

3

 

Assigns the slot to Nx64 Channel 3 

 

 

 

4

 

Assigns the slot to Nx64 Channel 4 

 

 

 

D

 

Assigns the slot to the D&I Channel (if fitted) 

 

 

 

-

 

Un-assigns the timeslot 

 
Timeslots assigned to each channel will each contribute 64K of bandwidth.  The 

Rate

 field 

for the channel will automatically be updated to show the rate which the channel will be 
running. 
 
Note that if the D&I channel is connected to a PABX which is using timeslot 16 for 
signalling or CCS signalling, timeslot 16 

must

 be assigned to the D&I channel. 

 
It is of course, very important to 

plan

 which timeslots are to be used by the connected PABX 

and which are to be used for data channels.  This will almost certainly require some setting up 
of the PABX as well as the multiplexer.
