Abstract

A communication system comprises a first multiplexer card having a first plurality of TDM ports and a first differential signaling interface, the first multiplexer card operable to map timeslots from the TDM ports to a first combined signal transmitted via the first differential signaling interface; a first unit coupled to the first differential signaling interface and configured to map timeslots extracted from the first combined signal to a DSL frame; a second unit coupled to the first unit via the a DSL link, the second unit having a third differential signaling interface and operable to map timeslots extracted from the DSL frame to a second combined signal; and a second multiplexer card having a second plurality of TDM ports and a fourth differential signaling interface, the second multiplexer card operable to map each of the timeslots from the second combined signal to one of the second plurality of TDM ports.
