Overview
Encrypted 4 Wire E&M Analog to Packet
The Black•Tube CEP E&M converts E&M Circuit interfaces into AES Encrypted Packets for secure interconnection over Ethernet packet networks. This conversion facilitates the interconnection of E&M 4-Wire Voice with 4-Wire Signaling over cost effective and ubiquitous Ethernet based LAN/WAN/MAN wired and wireless network services such as MPLS, xDSL, Cable Modem and 4G/LTE.

Black•Tube CEP E&M Management
Management Module
Black•Tube CEP E&M isolates management and data plane functionality with the use of two separate processor modules. Management processor access is limited to encrypted sessions via SSH, or SNMPv3, that employ AES 256 bit keys and sophisticated NIST passwords. These sessions may be established after authentication via TACACS+ or Radius.
The independent Linux based management plane of the Black•Tube CEP E&M ensures Critical Infrastructure Data is isolated from management network access. The Management Module uses internal serial ports to connect to the Data Plane processor.
Administration and User Logs are available with Syslog
CEP management security features include:
• Administrative policies for adding, removing, disabling and renaming authorized users; limiting user access to assigned commands; and enabling only desired port numbers.
• User authentication directly or in conjunction with TACACS+ or RADIUS servers including RSA SecureID support for two factor trusted compliance.
• An SSH command interface encrypting management traffic with powerful 256 bit symmetric keys and NIST based passwords.
• Support of the SNMPv3 protocol for secure connectivity to SNMP element managers.
• In addition, administrative accounting data can be reported to syslog servers with accurate timestamps provided by an NTP source.
Black•Tube CEP Features
Assured Delivery Protocol
All BlackTube VF CEP models ship with dual 10/100 BaseT Ethernet LAN ports. The dual Ethernet interfaces provide for:
- Management interface on LAN port 2 when LAN port 1 is connected to a VPN tunnel
- Protector Option: Redundant Packet Path connections with Constant or Switch Over Criteria
Black•Tube VF Optional Features
Protector OPTION -PRO
The protector option utilizes the second LAN interface as a redundant path for the interconnection of the IP encapsulated E&M circuit.
The extension of the E&M has a fault tolerant link that is configured to always on, or with switch over criteria.
Applications
Public Safety Radio Tower Wireline Audio over Packet Networks
A primary application for the Black•Tube CEP E&M is the conversion of Voice Grade circuit interfaces with Push to Talk, that connect Public Safety Radio Base Stations to concentrator hubs, into packets. The Black•Tube CEP E&M employs high resolution Analog to Digital circuitry that maintains the quality of the original audio signal.
The packetized Voice Band communication can be sercurely transported over Ethernet Packet services such as: xDSL, Cable, Cellular 2/3/4G LTE, MPLS, & WiFi
