Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Transmission and
Multiplexing (TM) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced in order to meet the requirements
of network operators and equipment manufacturers for the deployment and design of Flexible Multiplexers
to be used in leased line and public network applications.
This ETS consists of 2 parts as follows:
Part 1: "Core functions, 2 048 kbit/s aggregate interface functions, tributary interface
functions and special functions".
Part 2: "Management and control functions" (ETS 300 461-2).
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS: 4 October 1996
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 31 January 1997
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e): 31 July 1997
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 July 1997

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) gives the characteristics of a Flexible Multiplexer (FM)
equipment; the related functions able to handle a variety of services with transparency for the service
provider, allowing enhanced management capabilities to be used in the access network. The services
considered in this ETS are related to digital leased line networks and transparent transfer of 2 048 kbit/s
signals in applications such as Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) primary rate and access or
2 048 kbit/s ONP leased line. ISDN basic access and Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) may be
subject to further consideration according to V5 interface standards. Tributaries of this multiplexer provide
interfaces related to the services to which it is connected. Internal mapping functions are based on
64 kbit/s and n x 64 kbit/s signals. The handling of sub 64 kbit/s signals is not precluded and is considered
as an option to the equipment. Also covered are the characteristics of 2 048 kbit/s aggregate frames
based on CCITT Recommendation G.704 [4] and on ETS 300 167 [32] with optional path protection and
2 048 kbit/s aggregate termination based on CCITT Recommendation G.703 [3] and on ETS 300 166 [31]
with optional section protection. Each aggregate frame based on CCITT Recommendation G.704 [4] and
on ETS 300 167 [32] may contain multiple services.
The requirements contained in this ETS are only for the purpose of describing the functions of the
multiplexer and are not intended to represent actual implementations.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply.
aggregate interface: The aggregate interface supports signal transmitted over a common multiplex
channel.
blocking factor: The existence of connections in a mapping function can block the establishment of any
new connections. The blocking factor is the probability that a new connection cannot be made, expressed
as a decimal fraction of 1.
channel associated signalling cross connection capacity: This consists in the maximum number of
equivalent channels at 4 x 500 bit/s supported by the TS 16 Channel Associated Signalling (CAS)
multiframe which can be cross connected within the equipment.
cross connection capacity: This consists in the maximum number of equivalent channels at 64 kbit/s
which can be cross connected within the equipment.
NOTE: Cross connection of Time Slot 0 (TS 0) (or bits 1 to 8 of 2 048 kbit/s CCITT
Recommendation G.704 [4] frame) or TS 16 information according to CCITT
Recommendation G.704 [4] should be considered as equivalent to a 64 kbit/s channel.
