Summary of MGX 8230 Cards and Modules
Circuit Emulation Service Modules (CESM)
Circuit Emulation Service Module for T1 (AX-CESM-8T1)
The AX-CESM-8T1 provides interfaces for up to eight T1 lines, each of which is a 1.544 Mbps
structured or unstructured synchronous data stream.
Circuit Emulation Service Module for E1 (AX-CESM-8E1)
The AX-CESM-8E1 provides interfaces for up to eight E1 lines, each of which is a 2.048-Mbps
structured or unstructured synchronous data stream.
Circuit Emulation Service Module for T3 and E3 (MGX-CESM-T3/E3)
The MGX-CESM-T3E3 provides direct connectivity to one T3 or E3 line for full-duplex
communications at the DS3 rate of 44.736 MHz or at the E3 rate of 34.368 MHz. Each T3 or E3 line
consists of a pair of 75-ohm BNC coaxial connectors, one for transmit data and one for receive data,
along with three LED indicators for line status.
Voice Service Modules (VISM)
MGX-VISM-8T1 and MGX-VISM-8E1
These cards support eight T1 or E1ports for transporting digitized voice signals across a packet
network. The VISM provides toll-quality voice, fax and modem transmission and efficient
utilization of wide-area bandwidth through industry standard implementations of echo cancellation,
voice-compression and silence- suppression techniques.
