CIX Private Networking Over Internet Protocol

System Availability: All systems

Strata Net CIX multi-system networking can be implemented over an IP network using Strata CIX systems with MIPU / LIPU / GIPU / GIPH IP interface circuit cards. This feature offers the same connection service as ISDN dedicated lines with the Strata Net protocol on the public network. Strata Net IP, does not support modemized data signals, such as modem signal and G3 fax because these signals require very low jitter and low delay on the networks.

The MIPU16 / LIPU can be configured for up to 16 channels in system programming. The MIPU24 can be configured to 24 channels. Adding the LIPS to the LIPU enables you to configure the system to 32 channels. The GIPU / GIPH can be configured to 8 channels. CIX Strata Net private networking over IP can support up to 128 separate nodes.

For bandwidth requirements, refer to the section “Strata Net IP and IPT Bandwidth Requirements” on page 175.

Refer to “Analog CO Line Interface Compatibility” on page 137 if you are planning to mix analog and Strata Net IP circuit cards in the same Strata system.

MIPU / LIPU / GIPU / GIPH interface parameters include:

An example of Strata Net IP networking is shown below.
