Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the RS-1612 series rack system, one of ZyXEL’s premier high performance products. The RS-1612 chassis is a 19-inch wide and 4U high metal frame modem chassis. Up to 16 U-336R/RE rack mountable modem cards run at speeds up to 33.6Kbps for data transmission and 14.4Kbps for fax transmission making the RS-1612 rack system the ideal choice for applications requiring multiple modems.

The RS-1612 series rack system consists of the RS-1612 and RS- 1612E. The only difference between the two racks is the RS-1612E does not include an LCD panel or control card. If you purchase the RS-1612E and you would like to upgrade at a later date the LCD panel and control card can be purchased from your distributor or ZyXEL sales.
