Introduction
The Product
The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer from Black Box allows analogue and basic rate
ISDN terminals to be used with a primary rate ISDN connection. A primary rate terminal
ISDN can also be connected.
Basic rate interfaces (BRI) and analogue (PSTN) interfaces are provided by line cards. Up to
2 line cards can be fitted.
There are 2 BRI line cards - a card with 8 S0 interfaces (I.430 compatible) and a card with 8
U interfaces (ANSI T1.601 compatible).
The analogue card has 16 analogue interfaces.
The Primary rate interfaces (PRI) can be configured as S2m interfaces (i.e. E.1 G.703
compatible) or T.1 interfaces.
The manual
This manual outlines how the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer should be set up and
how the network and terminal equipment is connected.
