Avaya IP500 Universal PRI Trunk Card

IP500 trunk cards can be fitted to existing IP500 base cards to provide support for trunk ports. The trunk card uses the ports provided on the base card for cable connection. The addition of an IP500 trunk card is supported on IP500 Digital Station, IP500 Analog Phone and IP500 VCM base cards. They are not supported on the IP500 Legacy Card Carrier base card.

For those base cards that support trunk cards, there are no restrictions on the combination of card types.

However in systems with both Analog Phone 8 base cards and analog trunk cards, combining the two types are recommended as it then provides analog power failure support for one trunk/extension (Not applicable to the Analog Phone 2 base card).

Each trunk card is supplied with the spacer pegs required for installation and a label to identify the card's presence on the physical unit once installed.

This type of card can be added to an IP500 Digital Station card, IP500 Analog Phone card, TMC8 card or IP500 VCM card. It allows that card to then also support primary rate digital trunk connections. Available in single and dual versions the IP500 PRI card provides single and dual primary rate trunk interfaces respectively. The PRI is configurable for T1, E1 or E1R2 MFC use depending on the territory.

The IP500 Universal PRI trunk cards incorporate an integrated CSU/DSU. The CSU function allows the trunk to be put in loop-back mode for testing purposes. This can be set manually, using the monitor application, or automatically from a Central Office sending a Line Loop Back (LLB) pattern. The DSU function allows the T1 trunk to be shared between data and voice services.
