ABSTRACT:
A muldem (100) has a monitor (101) for testing data path failures and standby data protective switching means (108, 109) providing alternate standby data paths in the event of a malfunction. The system accepts a maximum of fifty-six standard low speed T1 lines (1.544 Mb/s), fourteen standard intermediate speedT2 lines (6.312 Mb/s), or any combination of T1 and T2 lines to generate two standard high speed T3 lines (44.736 Mb/s). The structure allows for partial equipping of low and intermediate speed circuits by accepting any number of circuits up to the maximum capacity of the high speed circuits. The system provides automated adjustment for expansion and contraction of the system while in operation. Individual T1 and T2 signal paths may be added or removed with no disturbance to any other path. The monitor automatically adjusts to test data paths through added T1 or T2 circuits and to ignore data paths through removed T1 or T2 circuits.
