In this section:

The T1/E1 PSTN Interface card is a TNV1 compliant digital interface card with integrated Channel Service Unit (CSU) function for direct connection to outside plant wiring. This card has board-mounted protection circuits for electrical isolation and protection against power crossing, lightning surges and hazardous voltages.

Card Port Versions

The T1/E1 PSTN Interface card offers 8 T1/E1 ports; the number of active ports is dependent upon licensing. For more information, see Node-Locked Licensing. The 8-port card is shown below; all T1/E1 ports on the card have identical electrical circuit design.
