AX Controller
The AX controller is ideal where a high density of analog devices is required. There are two
typical system configurations, standalone and networked, although as with any system, these
functions may be mixed.
• The AX supports up to 48 T1 or 60 E1 on-board digital trunks, up to 100 IP phones, and
288 analog phones (maximum 300 devices).
• The AX controller will support a second AC Power Supply Unit.
