Abstract
A high-speed sprchronous multiplexing apparatus has a low-speed device and a high-speed device and employs electrical signals to interface the devices with each other. The low-speed device is connected to a low-speed digital circuit. The high-speed device is connected to a high-speed synchronous multiplexing circuit. The apparatus also has a clock supplier for supplying a reference clock signal that defines a communication rate, to each of the low- and high-speed devices. The apparatus further has an alarm processor for separating faults in the low- and high-speed devices. The low- and high-speed devices are interfaced with each other with the use of the reference clock signal and electrical STM-0/STS-1 signals that employ a frame signal synchronized with the reference clock signal.
