Product Overview
The IDM OMP3500 2.5G Integrated Service Access Platform (IDM-3500, official full name IDM OMP3500 Integrated Service Access Platform) is a comprehensive multiplexing device introduced by RayTrans. It can transmit up to 16 transparent E1 channels, 2 physically isolated wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet channels, 4 physically isolated wire-speed 100M Ethernet channels, and 30 narrowband PCM channels over 2.5Gbps optical fiber, and supports mutual backup of 2 2.5G optical fibers. This device integrates telephone, leased line data, and Ethernet access, making it suitable for power, transportation, mining, public security, and campus dedicated networks that require simultaneous transmission of voice and broadband services, effectively replacing multiple devices.
The narrowband PCM service provides various user interfaces for voice, data, and images. The platform also features non-blocking timeslot cross-connect between 2 E1 channels and all user interfaces, and supports multiple clocking modes to meet the clocking requirements of different application environments. It can be powered by both AC220V and -48V.
Knowledge Block: Working Principle of the 2.5G Integrated Service Access Platform
The 2.5G Integrated Service Access Platform is a device that multiplexes E1, Ethernet, and narrowband PCM services onto a pair of 2.5Gbps optical fibers. Taking the IDM OMP3500 as an example, the 2.5G bandwidth supports 2 Gigabit Ethernet channels, 4 100M Ethernet channels, 16 transparent E1 channels, and 30×64K narrowband PCM services. The 16 E1 channels are transmitted transparently, while the narrowband PCM services are accessed through non-blocking timeslot cross-connect with 2 E1 channels and all user interfaces. The 2 2.5G optical ports (Fiber A/Fiber B) provide mutual backup, switching to the other fiber in case of a single fiber failure, allowing for the setup of point-to-point, chain, ring, or 1+1 protection networks.

Typical Network Applications
How to network the OMP3500: It supports point-to-point, chain, ring, or 1+1 protection networks. The product documentation provides three typical network configurations.
Point-to-Point Application
One OMP3500 is deployed at each end, connected directly via 2.5G SFP optical interfaces, with dual optical interfaces for mutual backup. A single end can simultaneously provide 2 GE, 4 FE, 8 E1, and 8 telephone circuits, managed uniformly by the Integrated Service Access Equipment network management system (SNMP).
Centralized Point-to-Multipoint Application
A centralized IDM OMP device is deployed in the central room, with up to 9 IDM OMP3500 devices connected downstream. This simplifies the configuration and management of the central room, suitable for the centralized aggregation of services from multiple remote sites.
Hybrid Networking with IDM OMP / IDM G3CP
E1 services from remote devices are aggregated to an E1 access board, and telephone services are aggregated to a PBX switching board. The digital trunking method is used, connecting to the higher-level program-controlled switch (PBX) via Signaling System No. 1, Signaling System No. 7, or PRI signaling. This is suitable for the renovation and expansion of existing PBX networks.
