Hardware Installation Manual 3. Physical Description
3.2 Rear Panel
The rear panel provides the port interfaces such as E1/T1 PSTN, Ethernet (IP), and power.
The PSTN and Ethernet port interfaces are provided by a single Rear Transition Module
(RTM-1610) in Slot #1 (the lower slot).
The rear panel design depends on the number of supported trunks and the type of power
(AC or DC), as shown in the figures below:
Figure 3-2: RTM-1610 for 16 Trunks (and AC Power)
Figure 3-3: RTM-1610 for 8 Trunks (and AC Power)
