Applications

 

 

 

 

 

The lineside T1 interface is an IPE line card that provides cost-effective connection between T1-compatible IPE and a system or off-premise extensions over long distances.

Some examples of applications where a lineside T1 card can be interfaced to a T1 link are:

T1 compatible Voice Response Unit (VRU) equipment

T1 compatible turret systems

T1 compatible wireless systems

Remote analog (500/2500-type) telephones through T1 to a channel bank

Remote Norstar sites behind CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 over T1

The lineside T1 card is appropriate for any application where both T1 connectivity and “lineside” functionality is required. This includes connections to T1-compatible voice response units, voice messaging and trading turret (used in stock market applications) systems. See Figure 34.
