One common board is used for T1 or E1 communications. The choice of T1 or E1 is made on the
communications configuration web page. An RJ-48C or DB-15 can be used. The E1 communications
board is also available in a version with a BNC connector, jumper selectable to 50 or 75 ohms.
While T1 uses a bandwidth of 1.584 Mbps (24 x 64 kbps channels) and E1 uses 2.084 Mbps (30 x 64
kbps channels), the GARD 8000 System uses only up to 12 of these channels, following the n x 64
kbps C37.94 standard.
