Introduction to Norstar Voice Mail FAX 3
DFC overview
The Digital Fax Card (DFC) is installed in an expansion bus slot on the Norstar Application Module (NAM) and supports four Fax Channels.
There are no Time Compression Multiplexing (TCM) connections to the DFC. The DFC uses the Voice Channels on the Digital Voice Cards (DVCs) or BIC to connect the Fax Channels to fax machines or a call.
