AccelePort T1 Modem Bank Overview

The Digi AccelePort T1 Modem Bank is a high speed Wide Area Network (WAN) interface for Windows NT and Novell environments. The T1 Modem Bank system is composed of two major parts: a host-installed Enhanced Performance Concentrator (EPC/X) adapter and a rack mountable or table top system cabinet. Figure 1 shows a front view of the T1 Modem Bank system cabinet.

Some versions of the T1 Modem Bank have a second connector on the line card labeled “PBX.” This connector is non-functional.

The T1 Modem Bank multiplexes up to 24 asynchronous V.34 modems onto one DS-1 (four-wire T1) WAN circuit. For a discussion of the terms and concepts related to T1 lines and the devices that connect to them, see “Connections to the Telephone Network” on page 77. The Glossary on page 83 defines the terms and acronyms used in this manual.
