The MX3112 system enables Ethernet service delivery over multiple bonded DS1 or E1 paths. Depending on the controller card, the MX3112 system bonds up to twelve DS1/E1 channels (MX3112 Controller Card, P/N 1189901L1) or up to sixteen DS1 channels (MX3112 Controller Card, P/N 1189901L2) into bonding groups to conduct Ethernet traffic from four 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports.
- 1:1 redundancy
- Hot-swappable
- NEBS Level 3 compliant
The MX3112 Controller Card requires the following modules to be installed in the MX3 Chassis:
- Plug-in unit for the MX3 Chassis (P/N 1189001L1) that provides two application modes, Copper mode and DS3 mode.
- Copper mode - provides twelve DS1 ports that can be bonded for transporting the traffic of up to four client Ethernet ports.
- DS3 mode - sixteen of the DS3 tributaries can be bonded for transporting the traffic of up to four client Ethernet ports.
