Quad BRI Network Interface Module

The Quad BRI network interface module allows you to make ISDN calls using up to four BRI lines.

In addition to the Quad BRI network interface module and the cables provided with it, you will need an NT-1 device if your site does not use an internal telephone system (PBX). A PBX or an NT-1 device provides the S/T interface that the Quad BRI module requires.
