1. PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION
1.1. Description
Loop Telecom’s TDMoE plug-in card is designed for the Loop-AM3440 series. TDMoE card is used to
transport TDM traffic over IP network, in addition to Ethernet traffic. As the communications network
migrates from TDM to IP, the TDMoE card provides a flexible and cost effective choice for the transport
of legacy TDM signals.
It provides four Ethernet ports with no limitation for WAN or LAN port assignment: two aggregate ports
with GbE combo interface and two tributary ports with 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet interfaces. The
TDMoE card support point-to-point and point-to-multi-point voice and date application.
For transport of TDM signals E1, T1, Jitter and Wander adheres to G.823 Traffic and G.823
Synchronous.
Over the past few years, packet-switched network (PSN) coverage has become ubiquitous, stimulating
a desire for convergence of all communications services over a unified infrastructure. This has brought
into prominence the concept of a pseudowire (PW). A pseudowire emulates a native service (e.g., ATM,
frame-relay, Ethernet or TDM) but utilizes transport over a PSN.
TDM over Ethernet, or TDMoEthernet, is a TDM PW technology that makes it possible to provision E1,
T1, and serial data services across IP, MPLS or layer 2 Ethernet networks. The services are provided in
a manner transparent to all protocols and signaling. TDMoEthernet enables service providers to
migrate to next generation networks while continuing to provide all their revenue-generating legacy
voice and data services, and without fork-lift upgrades of end-user equipment. TDMoEthernet also
benefits data carriers by enabling them to offer lucrative leased-line and voice services on their
packet-switched infrastructures. It enables enterprises to run voice and video over the same
IP/Ethernet-based network that is currently used to run only LAN traffic, thereby minimizing network
maintenance and operating costs.
Unlike other traffic types that can be carried over pseudowires, TDM is a real-time bit stream, leading to
TDMoEthernet having unique characteristics. In addition, conventional TDM networks have numerous
special features, in particular those required in order to carry voice-grade telephony channels. These
features imply signaling systems that support a wide range of telephony features, a rich standardization
literature, and well-developed OAM mechanisms. All of these factors must be taken into account when
emulating TDM over PSNs.
One critical issue in implementing TDM PWs is clock recovery. In native TDM networks the physical
layer carries highly accurate timing information along with the TDM data, but when emulating TDM over
PSNs this synchronization is absent. TDM timing standards can be exacting, and conformance with
these requires innovative mechanisms to adaptively reproduce the TDM timing. TDMoEthernet ensures
that recovered clock jitter and wander levels conform to ITU-T G.823/824, even for networks that
introduce high packet delay variation and packet loss.
TDMoEthernet complements VoIP in those cases where VoIP is not applicable, and in those cases
where VoIP price/performance is not optimal. Most importantly, TDMoEthernet can provide higher voice
quality with much lower latency than VoIP. And unlike VoIP, TDMoEthernet can support all applications
that run over E1/T1 circuits, not just voice. TDMoEthernet can provide traditional leased-line services
over IP, and is transparent to protocols and signaling. Because TDMoEthernet provides an evolutionary
(as opposed to revolutionary approach), investment protection is maximized.
Sophisticated TDM clock recovery mechanisms, one for each E1/T1 interface, allow end-to-end TDM
clock synchronization, despite packet delay variation of IP/MPLS/Ethernet network.
The clock recovery mechanisms provide both fast frequency acquisition and highly accurate phase
tracking:
• Jitter and wander of the recovered clock are maintained at levels that conform to G.823/G.824 traffic or
synchronization interfaces. For adaptive clock recovery, the recovered clock performance depends on
packet network characteristics.
• Short-term frequency accuracy (1 second) is better than 16 ppb (using PPB reference), or 100 ppb
(using PPM reference)
• Capture range is ±90 ppm
• Internal synthesizer resolution of 0.5 ppb
• High resilience to the packet loss and mis-ordering, up to 5% of packet loss/misordering without
degradation of clock recovery performance
• Robust to sudden significant constant delay changes
• Automatic transition to hold-over is performed upon link-break events
1.2.2. Bundles
A bundle is defined as a stream of bits that have originated from the same physical interface. They are
transmitted from a TDMoEthernet source device to a TDMoEthernet destination device. For example,
bundles may comprise any number of 64 Kbps timeslots originating from a single E1, T1 or an entire
E3/DS3. Bundles are single direction streams, frequently coupled with bundles in the opposite direction
to enable full duplex communications. More than one bundle can be transmitted between two
TDMoEthernet devices. For E1/T1, the chip provides internal bundle cross-connect functionality, with
DS0 resolution. You can establish a cross-connect between different E1/T1 interfaces of TDMoEthernet
device, or within one interface of TDMoEthernet. Only one bundle can be defined for E3/DS3.
Up to 64 bundles are supported. Each bundle in the TDMoEthernet is transmitted using one of the
following payload type methods: AAL1, CESoPSN or SAToP. Each TDM over Ethernet
bundle/connection may be assigned to one of the payload types. For E1/T1, the chip provides internal
bundle cross-connect functionality, wit DS0 resolution. You can establish a cross-connect between
different E1/T1 interfaces of the TDMoEthernet device, or within one interface of the device.

2. INSTALLATION
The TDMoEthernet card can be plugged into any of the available full size slots in the AM3440 chassis.
The front panel is shown in Figure 2-1. Pin definition and pin connection of the console port are listed in
the following tables.
NOTE: If you see protruding screw heads on the slot 3 of CHB or slot 5 of CHC as shown in the figure
below, do not plug the TDMoE card into these two locations because the card might be
damaged.
3. OPERATION
3.1. Alarm
When the TDMoE card reports an alarm condition, such as loss of synchronization, the ALARM will
cause the LED on the front panel to light. Each alarm can be individually enabled or disabled. The
alarm types are listed in the table as below.
3.2. LED
The front panel of the TDMoE has multi-color LEDs for operation and error indications. The indication is
either off, steady on, or flickering. The following table lists each LED and its color and the meaning it
represents. Note that when powering up and self test is in progress, the unit front panel LEDs are also
used to indicate fault conditions.
4. MAINTENANCE
Backplane loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The incoming signal is immediately looped back to
Backplane after entering FPGA without going through FPGA process. The outgoing signal then passes
TDMoE Chipset and Ethernet Switch and arrives in the remote physical link.
Payload loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The signal is looped back to TDMoE Chipset from FPGA
after it goes through Ethernet Switch and TDMoE Chipset. The signal then passes Ethernet Switch and
arrives at the remote physical link.
Local loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The incoming signal is looped back to Backplane from FPGA.
The outgoing signal then passes TDMoE Chipset and Ethernet Switch and arrives at the remote
physical link.
Line loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The signal is immediately looped back to Ethernet Switch after
entering FPGA without going through FPGA process. The signal then arrives at the remote physical
link.

¾ Command Path Main Menu > (S) System Setup > (A) Miscellaneous Setup
¾ Function Enables users to change the active bundle time, time durations
of alarm filter and delay switch.
[Protection]
Alarm Filter: 003
Delay Switch: 000
Recover Delay:000
Active Bundle Time Active bundle time is the period of time that the system tries to activate an
established but inactive bundle. A bundle is necessary between local and
remote devices to transmit TDMoE traffic. If the local device receives the
MAC address of the remote device through ARP Response (Address
Resolution Protocol), then the traffic can be steadily forwarded, and Active
Bundle Time will not be triggered. However, if the local device cannot
receive TDMoE traffic from the remote device, this situation is the so-called
“Remote Loss”. Hence, the local device will send ARP request frames and
request the MAC address of the remote device. Once a bundle is inactive,
this status would trigger its own Active Bundle Time in operation.
Alarm Filter When an alarm occurs, the system will monitor the alarm status. If the
alarm still exists after the configured time, the alarm queue will be issued.
28
Delay Switch When alarm is issued in the primary line, the configured time is the waiting
time to activate the switching protection (switch from the primary line to the
backup line).
Recover Delay It’s the delay switch for the backup line to switch back to the Master one
when the Master line recovers from link failure.
After you key in the active bundle time, press ESC. A prompt will ask if you wish to change the
configuration. Press Y to confirm.

38
Redundancy
Link Aggregation implicitly provides redundancy, yet it is not a truly port backup function of a TDMoE
card. For example, If 160 Mbps of data are transmitting over the trunk group, which implies each of the
two ports forwards 80 Mbps respectively. However, if one port fails, then its 80 Mbps traffic will be
transferred to another port. Yet, 60 Mbps of data will be dropped since the maximum bandwidth for a
single FE port is 100 Mbps. Hence, it is suggested that Flow Control should be enabled. After enabling
the Flow Control function, the system will send the connected device a pause frame to quench the data
rate. Otherwise, data will be dropped all along.
Precautions of Setup
y For the Link Aggregation to function properly, the “Link Aggregation” function of the connected
devices on both ends of an Ethernet cable must first be enabled.
y Within each trunk group, one port is selected as the leading port, and all the member ports must
follow the configurations of that leading port. For example, ETH1 is selected as the leading port,
then the port configurations of ETH2 such as flow control, speed and duplex mode must be
identical with ETH1. Furthermore, the ports of the connected device (e.g. ETH1 and ETH2 of
TDMoE card 2) ought to have the configurations identical to those of ETH1 of TDMoE card 1.
y Flow Control should be enabled so that the system will send the connected device a pause frame
to quench the data rate. Otherwise, data will be dropped all along.

size
delay
*Delay should be smaller than size. Also, the difference between size and delay should be larger
than the time that it takes to reconstruct a packet (otherwise an overrun may occur when the packet
arrives). Configuring the Jitter Buffer parameters correctly avoids under-run and overrun situation.
Under-run occurs when the Jitter Buffer is empty (the entering rate is lower than the exiting one). In
case of an under-run event, the chip transmits conditioning data instead of actual data towards the
TDM interface. Overrun occurs when the jitter buffer is full and there is no room for new data to
enter (the entering rate exceeds the exiting one). Under-run and overrun require special treatment
from the chip HW, depending on the bundle type.

8.1. Overview
This chapter provides a more detailed explanation on Quality of Service (QoS) and Scheduling
Algorithm. QoS is a control mechanism with the ability to provide different priorities to different data
flows and to ensure a corresponding level of performance to each data flow.
For TDMoE card, QoS can be sorted into three types: Class of Service (CoS), Type of Service (ToS),
and Fixed, these three methods are responsible for writing TDMoIP traffic from Ethernet interface to its
own queues, and all will be discussed later. Scheduling Algorithm is a method that determines the
transmission order of packets in the queues to the TDM interface or Tributary Port. Two types of
Scheduling Algorithms are applied in TDMoE card: Strict Priority (SP) and Weighted Round Robin
(WRR), both of which will be introduced later.
Generally, each interface of TDMoE card contains 4 queues, i.e. P0, P1, P2, and P3, and the order of
queues is P3 > P2 > P1 > P0. So, there are 16 queues in total. The total size of the 16 queues is 1M
bits.
To fulfill the complete QoS setup of ingress traffic, two steps are required: select (1) one of the three
QoS types and (2) one of the two Scheduling Algorithms. QoS is responsible for writing data from
Ethernet interface to the queues of ingress traffic, whereas Scheduling Algorithm is in charge of reading
data from the queues to the Tributary Port (TDM interfaces) of ingress traffic.
Noted that for the whole egress traffic data path, the QoS method of writing data from TDM interface to
the queues is “Fixed” method, and the “Scheduling Algorithm” of reading data from the queues to
Ethernet interfaces is “SP” – Strict Priority, and both cannot be changed.
Step by step setup instructions are interpreted below. The setup procedure explicated in this section
can be referred back to the QoS Setup shown in the VT-100 terminal (Path: Main Menu > (S) System
Setup > (C) QoS Setup).

8.2.1. QoS for Ingress Traffic – Writing Data From Ethernet Interface To Its Queues
In IP Networks, Quality of Service (QoS) serves as an essential role to guarantee the transmission
quality of service of the packets in a Best-Effort environment. Real-time video and voice data, for
example, require larger bandwidth and smaller transmission delay variation than e-mail service. It is
assumed that the network manager can recognize applications, such as voice, video, or email traffic,
and can evaluate their relative time-sensitivity or importance before the site installation. The network
manager can then group the applications into classes, which determine those frames with higher
priority for transmission and those which possess lower priority. QoS happens to be the technique that
groups data into different priorities. In other words, applying QoS is to maintain the quality of service
within IP Networks. Based on various techniques of QoS, setting procedures will become distinct. For
TDMoE card, three types of QoS concerning ingress traffic are available: Fixed, CoS, and ToS, which
define the way data are written from Ethernet interface to its own queues. The setup screen is shown
as below.
ETH1: Fixed
ETH2: Fixed
ETH3: Fixed
ETH4: Fixed
For further information of Fixed, CoS, and ToS priority modes, please refer to the relevant section
beneath.
If the “Priority Mode” of interfaces is set as “Fixed” mode, the next step is to configure the “Fixed Priority
Setup”. The screen is shown as below.

Transmission priority

ETH3: P0
ETH4: P0
Configuring the priority mode of an interface as Fixed implies the relationship between LAN side
interfaces and transmission priorities (its queues) are fixed. For example, if the priority mode for both
ETH1 and ETH2 is Fixed and their transmission priorities are set as P1 and P0, respectively, this
suggests frames entering ETH1 will be assigned to its own P1(Queue1), and ingress traffic of ETH2 will
be sent to its own P0(Queue0).
53
One thing should be noticed. If the priority mode of ETH4 is set as CoS or ToS, for instance, and then
you go on to configure its Fixed priority, the system will ignore the setting of Fixed Priority. This is
because that if you set the priority mode of an interface as CoS or ToS, the next step is to perform the
VLAN CoS priority setup or ToS field priority setup rather than Fixed Priority, and both CoS and ToS are
introduced in succeeding sections.
If “CoS” is selected as the “Priority Mode”, the next step is to configure the “VLAN CoS Priority Setup”.
The screen is shown as below.

ARROW KEYS: CURSOR MOVE, TAB: ROLL OPTIONS
Class of Service (CoS) is a 3-bit field added in the MAC header when applying VLAN tagging. CoS is
adopted to discriminate higher-priority traffic from lower-priority one. CoS determines the relationship
between priorities of ingress Ethernet frame traffic and queues. There are 8 levels of priority values,
ranging from 0 to 7, where 0 is the lowest priority and 7 the highest. By attaching priority value to
frames, users are enabled to classify and place them into different queues. The screen above allows
users to configure the transmission priority (= queue) for packets with different priorities.
Assumed that the priority mode for ETH3 and ETH4 are “CoS”, then both ports should apply the “VLAN
CoS Priority Setup”. Moreover, ETH3 and ETH4 share common settings, rather than have their own.
If “ToS” is selected as the “Priority Mode”, the next step is to configure the “ToS Field Priority Setup”.
The screen is shown as below.

Type of Service (ToS) is an 8-bit field placed in the IP header to indicate how packets are treated. ToS
determines the relationship between priorities of ingress IP packet traffic and queues. The 3 leftmost
bits possess a priority value ranging from 0 to 7, which implies the importance of a packet. The higher
the value, the more important the packet (default value = 0). By attaching priority value to packets,
users are enabled to classify and place them into different queues. The screen above allows users to
configure the transmission priority (= queue) for packets with different priorities.
Assumed that the priority mode for ETH1 and ETH4 are “ToS”, then both ports should apply the “ToS
Field Priority Setup”. Moreover, ETH1 and ETH4 share common settings, rather than have their own.
8.2.2. Scheduling Algorithm for Ingress Traffic – Reading Data From Queues to TDM
Interface
After QoS setup for ingress traffic is complete, the following process is to configure the Scheduling
Algorithm for ingress traffic, which determines how packets are polled out of the queues and
transmitted to TDM interfaces. If more than one of the queues for a port contains packets, then a
transmission scheduling algorithm determines which queue should be transmitted first. Here, TDMoE
card supports two scheduling algorithm taking charge of reading data from queues to TDM interface:
Strict Priority (SP) and Weight Round Robin (WRR). The mechanisms and setup screens are shown
below.
ETH1: SP
ETH2: SP
ETH3: SP
ETH4: SP
NOTE:
SP: Strict Priority.
WRR: Weighted Round Robin.
Strict Priority (SP): When a port applies SP Algorithm, it suggests packets/frames will be delivered
from queues to that port in a strict order. Whenever packets are to be forwarded, the system will
transmit packets starting from the highest priority queue. For TDMoE card, each port includes 4 queues.
The hierarchy of all the queues is: queue 3 is considered with highest priority, queue 2 is prior to queue
1, and Queue 0 has the lowest priority, i.e. queue3>queue 2>queue 1>queue 0. For example, queue 3,
queue 2 and queue 1 all contain 4 packets. All 4 packets of queue 3 should be transmitted before any of
those in queue2 or queue 1 are. Before queue 1 sends packets, all the packets in queue 2 should be
delivered.
Yet, if you configure the scheduling algorithm as WRR, there is one last step to go, i.e. setup the WRR
Weight Ratio, as shown below.

For both AM3440#1 and AM3440#2, the configuration procedure is identical. In this section, the setup
instructions of the AM3440#1 are applied as an example.
NOTE:
When using 1+1 Protection with Quad E1/T1 card, two plug-in cards must be inserted next to each
other as a pair so that one plug-in card can be used to protect the other.
For example: A pair of TDMoE and Quad E1/T1 cards should be installed in one of the following slot
groupings: [1&2], [3&4], [5&6], [7&8], [9&10] or [11&12].
Each TDMoE and Quad E1/T1 card has four ports. The ports of one card protect the corresponding
ports of the other card. For example, Port 1 of the protection card protects Port 1 of the other card.
Similarly, Port 2 of the protection card protects Port 2 of the other card, etc.
