5.4 D&I Operation
To operate the modem in the Drop & Insert configuration, the following cards must be installed
in the modem:
• Overhead G.703/IDR/IBS/ASYNC/AUPC/D&I card
• 50-pin D relay adapter card
The D&I option is a FAST feature that must be enabled using the front panel and the Utility

In D&I operation, the transmit data rate is a fractional portion of the trunk T1 or E1 terrestrial
input. The N stands for the number of 64 kbps time slots available for transmission. Table A-6
shows the allowable TX data rates for D&I with the corresponding number of time slots available
for each data rate.
