Network interfaces
The TITAN videocodec has a large number of network interfaces and can the-
refore be used in a wide range of network environments. With the exception
of the X.21 interfaces 4 to 6, all interfaces are available simultaneously. Only
one interface type (X.21, E1, T1, RS449) can be active at any given time,
however. The above-mentioned X.21 interfaces can be accessed via two ad-
apter cables which are part of the delivery. If these interfaces are used, then
the RS449 and TS 16 interfaces cannot be used.
1.5.3.1
X.21 interfaces
The TITAN videocodec has up to six X.21 interfaces. Three of these X.21 in-
terfaces can be directly accessed on the rear panel. The other three are pro-
vided via adapter cable from the RS449 interface and the TS16 data interface.
The X.21 interfaces allow access to transmission networks and are data inter-
faces with bit clocks (a byte clock can be used if it is provided by the network).
The X.21 interfaces can be used in three modes which are described in detail
in the following.
X.21 Mode 1 (1
×
X.21)
In this operating mode, only the “X.21/Main” interface is available with data ra-
tes from 56
1
to 1920 kbit/s. This is a DTE interface which requires as a trans-
port medium a line in which the data is switched en bloc.
X.21 Mode 2 (1..6
×
X.21): ISDN Mode
In X.21 Mode 2, up to six X.21 interfaces operating at 56/64 kbit/s can be
used. The X.21 dialling protocol (only for 64 kbit/s) is supported fully for each
interface. Thus it is possible to transmit up to 384 kbit/s via a terminal adapter
in the ISDN. The B channels (which might be routed differently) are recombi-
ned on the receive side to a common data stream. The transit time compen-
sation (600 ms. maximum) is carried out by the integrated Inverse Multiplexer
in accordance with ITU-T Recommendation H.221.
X.21 Mode 3 (ISDN LEASED LINE)
As with mode 2, but without dialling procedure. One to six 56-kbit/s channels
are also available.
