The Basic Rate Interface gateway Module (BRIM4) has four (4) ISDN Basic Rate Interface ports
(2B+D). The BRIM4 supports the “T” interface as described by ETSI 300.012 based on the ITU-T
Recommendations I.430, and can be installed in the TE (Terminal Equipment) mode. The BRIM4
includes DSP circuitry for transcoding between various audio codecs.
The BRIM4 includes a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface as well as packet voice processing
functions. The Ethernet port incorporates auto MDI, MDIX switching, therefore, both straight and
cross cables can be used.
