Quad CT1/E1 GPIM Overview

A Gigabit-Backplane Physical Interface Module (GPIM) is a network interface card (NIC)

that installs in the front slots of the SRX550 or SRX650 Services Gateway to provide

physical connections to a LAN or a WAN. The GPIM receives incoming packets from a

network and transmits outgoing packets to a network.

NOTE: The Quad CT1/E1 GPIM does not support channelization.

The Quad CT1/E1 GPIM provides the physical connection to T1 or E1 network media types

and also performs T1 or E1 framing and line-speed signaling.

NOTE: Only SRX650 Services Gateway supports hot-swappable functionality

for GPIMs.

Figure 40 on page 158 shows the Quad CT1/E1 GPIM.
