3.3.2.1 Trunk cards
The trunk cards contain interfaces for connection to the analogue public network (PSTN), the digital public
network (ISDN) or for networking systems to create a private telephony network (PISN). The trunk cards
can be used and operated on any slots for interface cards.
Some trunk cards contain both network interfaces (BRI-T) and terminal interfaces (BRI-S). On these cards
the ratio of BRI-S interfaces to BRI-T interfaces is determined by the use and plug-in orientation of the
wiring adapters (see Fitting a wiring adapter).
