The NEAX
®
2000 IPS consists of single or multiple Port Interface Modules (PIM) depending on the
system configuration, and there are two types of PIMs; “Physical” PIM and “Virtual” PIM. The
Physical PIM is “hardware” PIM which is used to accommodate an MP, FPs, IP PADs, legacy LT
cards, AP cards, and power supply units. One Physical PIM provides up to 64 LT ports and up to 8
Physical PIMs can be accommodated in a Stand Alone system. The Virtual PIM is a “software” PIM
and provides up to 64 ports per PIM for use by system programming as DtermIP telephones,
Wireless PS stations or Peer to Peer (PTP) CCIS trunks. The system consists of up to 16 PIMs, by
the combination of Physical PIMs and Virtual PIMs, thus providing 1020 ports. When the use of
Virtual PIMs exceeds 8 then the number Physical PIMs is reduced by one for each additional Virtual
PIM required.
The illustration below shows examples of 1020-port configuration by the combination of TDM LT
ports, Dterm IP telephones, Wireless PS stations and Peer to Peer (PTP) CCIS trunks.
