The ISDN Network Interface Module is connected to the telephone network via the IO card (IO-2, IO-4 or IO-8), which is connected to the PABX and CSU. The customer is responsible for supplying the PABX and CSU.

The ISDN data stream flows from the ISDN telecommunication network through the PABX > CSU > MGC RJ-45 input connector > IO card (IO-2, IO- 4 or IO-8) > Backplane connectors > Network Interface Module to the Backplane information bus.
