256 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards

Applications

The Lineside T1 interface is an IPE line card that provides cost-effective

connection between T1-compatible IPE and a system or off-premise

extensions over long distances.

Some examples of applications where a Lineside T1 card can be interfaced

to a T1 link are:

•

T1-compatible Voice Response Unit (VRU) equipment

•

T1-compatible turret systems

• T1-compatible wireless systems

•

Remote analog (500/2500-type) telephones through T1 to a channel

bank

•

Remote Norstar sites behind CS 1000E, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1

over T1

The Lineside T1 card is appropriate for any application where both

T1 connectivity and "lineside" functionality is required. This includes

connections to T1-compatible voice response units, voice messaging and

trading turret (used in stock market applications) systems. See Figure 49

"Lineside T1 interface connection to IPE" (page 257).

For example, the Lineside T1 card can be used to connect the system to a

T1-compatible VRU. An example of this type of equipment is Nortel Open

IVR system. In this way, the system can send a call to the VRU. Because

the Lineside T1 card supports analog (500/2500-type) telephones, the VRU

is able to send the call back to the system for further handling.
