T1 Voice, Video and Data Over IP
The IP•Tube UNO T1 encapsulates a full or fractional T1 circuit into IP packets. T1 Over IP connections provide for the interconnection of PBXs, Cellular equipment and Telecom Switches via LANs, WANs, MANs, IP Satellite, xDSL, Cable and Wireless Ethernet.

Transparent Interconnect
The IP•Tube UNO T1's transparent operation maintains the proprietary signaling required to support PBX features such as call conferences, call forwarding, caller ID and SS7. Legacy phone equipment investment is preserved.

Signaling Support
PRI ISDN, SS7, ESF, D4, SLC-96, Proprietary out of band, and robbed bit signaling is supported. Transparent support for Data, Modem or Fax. Voice quality is not compromised.

The IP•Tube UNO T1 ships with one T1 interface and one 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Interface. Optional integrated 4 port QOS/VLAN/Rate Limiting Layer-2 Ethernet switch is available.

An Ethernet Switch Option provides transparent LAN bridging, user data bandwidth and access control through rate limiting and port-based VLAN filtering and tagging.

IP•Tube UNO T1 Standard Features

 

Assured Delivery Protocol
In order to assure high quality communications over links with intermittent or noisy performance, such as Wireless or Broadband over Power Line, the IP•Tube UNO T1 employs Engage’s robust Assured Delivery Protocol with the following benefits:

• Packet out of sequence detection and re-sequencing
• Duplicate skipping
• Lost packet retransmission with configured delay.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - DHCP
The IP•Tube UNO T1 can be configured to obtain its Internet Protocol network parameters: IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS; from a local DHCP server.

Domain Name Addressing
IP•Tube UNO T1 can be configured to use a Domain Name for the remote IP•Tube in place of a fixed IP address. Supports mobile multi service provider installations with ease.

Dynamic DNS
IP•Tubes can be configured to register their IP address with Dynamic Domain Name Servers for discovery by the IPTube at the other end of the T1 circuit. DDNS support combined with DHCP make installations Name-based which is very easy to setup and maintain when compared to Static IP addressing.

Secure Socket Shell - SSH
Engage’s Secure Socket Shell, which is based upon industry proven Open SSH and FIPS 140 approved Open SSL version 2.0, provides secure encrypted communications between SSH clients such as OpenSSH, SecureCRT, and PuTTY and the IPTube’s Command Line Interface.

SNMP
The IP•Tube UNO T1 is able to be fully managed with SNMP via standard and private MIBs. Large scale deployments of IPTubes with centralized management have made SNMP support a priority. SNMP Traps for error events enable proactive service fault isolation.

IP•Tube UNO T1 OPTIONS

Ethernet Switch OPTION - SWITCH

The IP•Tube UNO T1 is available with a four port 10/100 Ethernet QoS switch integrating a high-performance switching fabric with four priority queues. Advanced features include 802.1p/IPv4/IPv6 traffic classification, full IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, RMON, SNMP, Port Monitoring and Layer 2 firewall.

QoS determined by destination MAC address, port ID, IEEE 802.1p and multimedia traffic tags, IPv4 Type of Service (TOS), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ).

Rate Limiter
The Ethernet switch Ingress and/or Egress Rate Limiter option enables the reservation of the bandwidth for time-sensitive T1 Over IP real time connections. Required for applications where the LAN traffic can exceed the WAN bandwidth required by the T1 over IP/Ethernet application. The data rate limit range is 128 kilobits to 64 Megabits in binary increments.

The Rate Limiter option limits the WAN bandwidth utilized by the LAN1 to LAN2 bridge. Rate Limiting the traffic enables the reservation of the WAN bandwidth for time the sensitive T1 Over IP real time connections. Great for Wireless WAN T1 applications. Rate Governing is only applied in the direction to the WAN to minimize latency. .

Virtual Private Network Support
Interconnecting the IP•Tube UNO T1 through a Virtual Private Network with sufficient real time committed information rate ensures that the required quality of service is provisioned. The second Ethernet interface provides a management port. Each LAN interface features independent IP network configurations.

Protector OPTION -PRO
The protector option utilizes the Ethernet Switch port ETH1 as a redundant path for the interconnection of the IP encapsulated T1 data. The PRO Option is configured to Always-On, or with Switch-Over criteria.

---

Alternator Load Balancing OPTION -ALT
The Alternator option alternatively sends the IP packetized T1 frames on two Ethernet interfaces, balanacing the load. The Alternator option enables fractional and full T1 circuits to be split over two IP WAN connections such as ADSL.

Full T1 Connection Across Two ADSL Lines
The IP•Tube UNO T1’s two Ethernet interfaces are able utilize two ADSL Ethernet Modems, that have opposite high speed direction, to transport a T1’s symmetrical bandwidth.

---

DS0 Timeslot Multiplexor OPTION -MUX
The IP•Tube UNO T1-MUX maps DSOs from a central site to as many as 24 remote locations via an IP/Ethernet connection. Get maximum use of expensive DS1 interfaces on PBX, Channel equipment and datacom gear. Also provides Virtual DACS Over IP capability. Mesh DS0s one-to-many or many-to-many.

---

Lossless Data Compression OPTION - C

The IP•Tube UNO T1-C continuously detects idle and redundant data within each T1 Voice circuit resulting in as much as a 56 to 1 bandwidth savings.

TDM over IP WAN bandwidth is not consumed by silent or redundant circuits.
