PORT TYPES/INSTALLATION COMPATIBILITIES
6-7
A carrier equipped with two line+trunk DS1s will have four slots available for other port boards in
physical slots 3, 8, 16, and 21. Figure 6-2, Physical and Virtual Carrier Slot Relationships,
Line+Trunk Mode, shows the carrier slots, physical versus virtual slot locations, and their relationship
to line+trunk-mode use.
Because line+trunk mode requires six carrier slots while line-only mode requires only three, mode
selection is not made a software configurable option.
