An AR router can interconnect with a non-Huawei device without traversing a transmission network in the following cases:
Case 1: back-to-back interconnection, with no E1 protocol converter
As shown in Figure 1-6, an AR router interconnects with a non-Huawei device through an E1 leased line in back-to-back mode with no E1 protocol converter between them.
Figure 1-6 Connecting an AR router to a non-Huawei device through an E1 leased line in back-to-back mode
Typical cases of the back-to-back mode are as follows:
- AR [DB9 --- RJ45] <--------------> [RJ45] non-Huawei device
- AR [RJ45 --- BNC] <--------------> [BNC] non-Huawei device
Case 2: interconnection through an E1 protocol converter
As shown in Figure 1-7, the E1 leased line of an AR router interconnects with the SA link of a non-Huawei device through an E1 protocol converter. This mode is seldom used on live networks, and is not discussed here.
NOTE:You can purchase the E1 protocol converter from a third-party vendor. The E1 protocol converter and the E1 interface must work in unchannelized mode.
