eXmux® 3501M - IP Access Multiplexer

Product Description

The RFL eXmux 3505 is a substation-hardened IP Access Multiplexer engineered for mission critical infrastructures to transport voice, serial, relaying protection, SCADA, video and Ethernet data communications over Ethernet/IP or MPLS networks, providing the flexibility of backward compatibility with legacy devices and forward compatibility with Ethernet devices on the same communications platform. Designed into the eXmux 3505 are features such as “Hitless Switching” for private ring networks with zero-data-loss path recovery technology, dual path communications for routing redundant paths over public networks and a (DACS) function for cross-connecting DS0s between T1/E1 circuits and/or eXmux 3505 interface unit. The product is designed for harsh applications and is available in two chassis configurations; a mission-critical model that offers module hot-swap capabilities for all functional cards and a economical compact model for applications where module hot swap capability is not required. Both the new 3505 & the 3501 models are interoperable within the same network and are physically interchangeable.

Chassis Configurations/Hot Swap & Compact

For Mission Critical applications the eXmux® 3505 is available with a Hot Swap Module option where all modules of the eXmux 3505 are field replaceable with the unit powered. All interfaces units, power supplies, and switch can be replaced in the field in seconds. The Hot Swap model is a 5RU high 19” rack mount chassis while the compact model is a 3RU high 19” rack mount chassis.

eXmux® 3505 IP Access Multiplier Application Examples

Network Diagram Example

The above example is a typical communications network using the eXmux® 3505 configured with 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Interface for the communication backbone and GigE on the linear and star setups. The communications network is able to transport both existing legacy devices with RS-422, RS-232, RS-485, 2W-FXS, specific DS0’s from the DS-1 & C37.94 interfaces, Teleprotection commands and IP devices using the eXmux 3505 common IP platform.

eXmux® Visual Network Management Software

The eXmux 3505 IP Access Multiplexer comes with an advanced Graphical User Interface (GUI) Network Management Software for Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM&P). The intuitive and user friendly eXmux 3505 VNMS is designed to allow the user to manage their eXmux 3505 network, making configuration, port mapping, network monitoring and diagnostics simple and easy.

eXmux Visual Network Management Software Feature Summary

The VNMS communicates using the latest SNMPv3 for authentication and encryptionalong with cyber security features meeting NERC requirements. The Network view provides the user an overall view of the network and the status of each node in the network and is further enhanced by allowing the user to graphically represent the physical interconnection of each node in the network. The Node view displays a virtual physical view of the unit as configured with real-time status information. Programming details of each module are easily accessible by a simple double click on the module.

The uniquely designed Port Mapping interface allows the user to easily map any port on any eXmux to any other eXmux on the network by a simple point and click (“Map this Port”) function. The dynamic Current Active Alarm view gives the user specific information as to which node is in alarm, the type of alarm, the source and the description of the alarm so that diagnostic can be straightforward and quick. The “Tooltip” function provides the user “On-demand” information on any setting, status and alarm from any screen without the need for a manual or cumbersome Help function.

eXmux® 3505 IP Access Multiplier Application Examples

Network Diagram Example

The above example is a typical communications network using the eXmux® 3505 configured with 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Interface for the communication backbone and GigE on the linear and star setups. The communications network is able to transport both existing legacy devices with RS-422, RS-232, RS-485, 2W-FXS, specific DS0’s from the DS-1 & C37.94 interfaces, Teleprotection commands and IP devices using the eXmux 3505 common IP platform.

eXmux® Visual Network Management Software

The eXmux 3505 IP Access Multiplexer comes with an advanced Graphical User Interface (GUI) Network Management Software for Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM&P). The intuitive and user friendly eXmux 3505 VNMS is designed to allow the user to manage their eXmux 3505 network, making configuration, port mapping, network monitoring and diagnostics simple and easy.

eXmux Visual Network Management Software Feature Summary

The VNMS communicates using the latest SNMPv3 for authentication and encryptionalong with cyber security features meeting NERC requirements. The Network view provides the user an overall view of the network and the status of each node in the network and is further enhanced by allowing the user to graphically represent the physical interconnection of each node in the network. The Node view displays a virtual physical view of the unit as configured with real-time status information. Programming details of each module are easily accessible by a simple double click on the module.

The uniquely designed Port Mapping interface allows the user to easily map any port on any eXmux to any other eXmux on the network by a simple point and click (“Map this Port”) function. The dynamic Current Active Alarm view gives the user specific information as to which node is in alarm, the type of alarm, the source and the description of the alarm so that diagnostic can be straightforward and quick. The “Tooltip” function provides the user “On-demand” information on any setting, status and alarm from any screen without the need for a manual or cumbersome Help function.
