E3 Voice, Video and Data Over IP
The IP•Tube E3 encapsulates E3 circuits into IP Ethernet packets. The conversion of E3 circuits into packets enables organizations to dramatically reduce leased line costs by exploiting the efficiency of Ethernet networks. E3 Toll charges assessed by long distance and local carriers are eliminated or dramatically reduced for:
| • Competitive Local Exchanges |
• Multi-Site Enterprises |
| • Internet Service Providers |
• Cellular Service Operators |
| • Education: K-12 and Universities |
• Governments and Municipalities |
Transparent Protocol and Signaling
The IP•Tube E3's transparent operation maintains the proprietary signaling required to support call conferencing, call forwarding, caller ID and SS7. Transparent support for Modem, Fax, or Data circuits. Preserves toll-quality voice across the network.
The IP•Tube E3's low latency E3 Over IP connection provides for the transparent interconnection of Private Branch Exchanges, Mobile Switching Centers, Telecom Switches and E3 based communication systems via: |
|
LANs, WANs, MANs, IP Satellite and Wireless Ethernet

| IP•Tube E3 Standard Features |
-
- Service Quality Packet Prioritizing
The IP•Tube E3 uses the Type of Service byte in the IP packets to prioritize the encapsulated E3 frames. The setting of the TOS byte can be used to ensure that the real time TDM data from the IP•Tube E3 is ensured high priority. Additionally 802.1p/q VLAN tagging provides layer 2 prioritization.
Management Interface
Management of the IP•Tube E3 is accomplished with a Command Line Interface that is accessed through a Console or Telnet connection. Templates of the most common configuration provide for an Edit and Paste configuration. SNMP MIB I and II support, with traps, is a standard feature.

E3 Options |
Alternator
Load Balancing Option
The IP•Tube E3-ALT Alternator option alternatively sends the IP packetized E3 frames on LAN 1 and LAN 2. The Alternator option enables the bandwidth required to transport E3 circuits to be split over two WAN connections. |
|
Protector Option
The protector option utilizes the second LAN interface as a redundant path for the interconnection of the IP encapsulated E3 Circuit. The extension of the E3 circuit has a fault tolerant link that is configured to always on, or with switch over criteria.
