T3Mux + 4 x A108

The T3Mux has been optimized to interwork with four Sangoma A108 PCIe cards.

1. A server with four A108 cards + T3Mux can achieve full T3 capacity using only 14 RJ45 cables.

2. A straight RJ45 cat5 or cat6 Ethernet cable can be used to connect T3Mux to A108 RJ45 port.

3. Each RJ45 (cat5/6) straight cable carries 2 T1 lines.  (4 wires for each port) 

4. Each T3Mux only takes up 1U of rack space.

5. Up to 3 x T3Mux boxes can be placed on a single 1U 19'' rack.

6. A108 cards must be configured in LINEAR hardware RJ45 port map mode. 

7. Minimum wanpipe driver that support LINEAR operation mode: wanpipe-3.5.24.tgz

T3Mux RJ45 Connector Specs

1. T3Mux contains 14 RJ45 Ports, and each carries 2 T1 lines.  
   Total 28T1 lines

2. First 4 wires of RJ45 connector are used for 1st T1 port and 
   second 4 wires of RJ45 connector are used for 2nd T1 port.

3. For each RJ45 connector the T1 ports mappings are:
        Port: [01,02] [03,04] [05,06] [07,08] [09,10] [11,12] [13,14] 
                 [15,16] [17,18] [19,20] [21,22] [23,24] [25,26] [27,28]

A108 RJ45 Connector Specs
 

1. The A108 card contains 4 RJ45 Ports, and each carries 2 T1 lines. Total of 8 T1 lines

2. First 4 wires of RJ45 connector are used for 1st T1 port and 
   second 4 wires of RJ45 connector are used for 2nd T1 port.

3. For each RJ45 connector the DEFAULT T1 ports mappings are:
        Port: [01,05] [02,06] [03,07] [04,08]

4. For each RJ45 connector the LINEAR T1 ports mappings are:
        Port: [01,02] [03,04] [05,06] [07,08]
   This option must be specified in /etc/wanpipe/wanpipe1.conf file.
