Ethernet I/O
Card
The Ethernet I/O card features MAC (Media Access Control) addressing, and
status and control registers that provide it with bridge/router functionality. The
card is equipped with one 10BaseT port and one Attachment Unit Interface (AUI)
port.
Fast Ethernet
LAN I/O Card
The Fast Ethernet LAN I/O card enables the CX950 to connect to either
10BaseT or 100BaseTX Ethernet LAN. The Fast Ethernet LAN I/O card features
auto-sensing of data transmission speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
ATM I/O Card
The ATM I/O card provides ATM-based WAN access for the CX950 at T1/E1
rates. The card features a pair of BNC connectors for E1 connections and an RJ
45 for either T1 or E1 connections.
ISDN-U I/O
Card
The ISDN-U I/O card enables the CX950 to exchange data over an Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) as a Basic Rate Interface-U (BRI-U) connecting
to the PSTN. The Basic Rate Interface features 2 Bearer channels of 64Kbps each
and one Data channel of 16 Kbps.
ISDN-S/T I/O
Card
The ISDN-S/T I/O card enables the CX950 to exchange data over an ISDN BRI-
S/T interface. The ISDN-S/T I/O card is required in locations where the telco or
PBX supplies Network Termination 1 (NT1).
DDVC Card
The Dual Digital Voice Compression (DDVC) card is used in conjunction with the
ISDN S/T I/O card to provide two compressed voice channels to the CX950.
Compression rates are 5.8 or 8.0 Kbps (ACELP II) or 16, 24, 32, or 40 Kbps
(G.726), or 64 Kbps (PCM).
BRI Digital
Voice Card
The Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Digital Voice card enables the CX950 to transmit
data and compressed voice over an ISDN-S/T interface. The card supports
transmission rates of 8 Kbps (G.729) and 40, 32, 24, or 16 Kbps (G.726), or 64
Kbps (G.711).
V.34 Modem
Card
The V.34 Modem I/O card can be used as a dial backup for connections to a
network or for establishing simple dial-up connections to the PSTN. The card acts
as an originate or answer modem using a variety of protocols and operating at
speeds up to 28.8 Kbps.
56K/64K CSU/
DSU Card
The CSU/DSU cards enable the CX950 to exchange data over digital networks.
The cards feature 56K, switched-56, and 64K Clear Channel capabilities.
T1/E1 I/O Card
The T1/E1 I/O card enables the CX950 to connect to a full or fractional public T1/
E1 network.
