Installed Modules:

NT8D06AB PE Power Supply AC:

Converts 208/240 V AC to +5 V, +8.5 V, ±10 V, ±15 V, and –48 V DC voltages used to power peripheral
equipment logic cards and to supply talk battery to lines and trunks.

NT8D21AB Ringing Generator AC:

Operates from a nominal 208/240 V AC input and provides selectable AC ringing voltage outputs
superimposed on –48 V DC. Frequency and voltage options are 20/25/50 Hz and 70/80/86 V AC. Supplies –150
V DC Message Waiting lamp voltages for analog (500/2500-type) telephones.

NT8D01 Controller Card:

Provides a primary interface and control function between the NT8D04 Superloop Network Card and the IPE
Module. Each controller card serves up to 16 IPE cards. The controller card is equipped with a Motorola
68000-type microprocessor that performs some local call processing and maintenance diagnostics.

NT8D16AB Digitone Receiver Card:

Provides eight channels of dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) detection. These channels are assigned on the
DS30X loop. There is one 8 Kbit/s signaling channel provided for maintenance messaging and tone reporting.

NT8D29BA CE Power Supply AC:

Converts 208/240 V AC to +5 V and ±12 V DC to provide required voltages for CPU, network, and Meridian
Mail equipment.

NT8D04BA Superloop Network Card:

Provides 120-timeslot (one superloop) interface between network and intelligent peripheral equipment. Also
provides up to 3500 CCS traffic capacity. Utilizes the equivalent of four network loops. The Superloop Network
card is equipped with a Motorola 68000-type microprocessor that performs network diagnostics and signaling
control, and communicates with the Intelligent Peripheral Controller.

NT4N65AC cPCI Core to Network Interface (cCNI):

Connects the Core Module cards to the 3PE cards in the Network Modules. Each cCNI card can connect to two
Network groups, each Core connects to a minimum of two groups and a maximum of eight groups.

NT8D29BA CE Power Supply AC:

Converts 208/240 V AC to +5 V and ±12 V DC to provide required voltages for CPU, network, and Meridian
Mail equipment.

NT5D12AH Dual DTI/PRI (DDP) Card:

Provides two DTI/PRI network connections, an optional connection to an external D-Channel Handler, and an
optional plug-on D-Channel Daughterboard. It provides an interface to the 1.5 Mbit/s external digital line,
either directly or through an office repeater, Line Terminating Unit (LTU), or Channel Service Unit (CSU).

NT8D04BA Superloop Network Card:

Provides 120-timeslot (one superloop) interface between network and intelligent peripheral equipment. Also
provides up to 3500 CCS traffic capacity. Utilizes the equivalent of four network loops. The Superloop Network
card is equipped with a Motorola 68000-type microprocessor that performs network diagnostics and signaling
control, and communicates with the Intelligent Peripheral Controller.

NT4N65AC cPCI Core to Network Interface (cCNI):

Connects the Core Module cards to the 3PE cards in the Network Modules. Since each cCNI card can connect
to two Network groups, each Core connects to a minimum of two groups and a maximum of eight groups.

NT4N39AA Call Processor Pentium IV:

• A PCI-based design that is compatible with current CP PIV architecture

• An Intel Pentium processor

• Two Compact Flash (CF) sockets (one on-board and one hot-swappable on the faceplate).

•512 MBytes of Double Data Rate (DDR) memory

The CP PIV card features a CP PIV processor board.

NT8D14CB Trunk Card:

The NT8D14 Universal Trunk Card is an Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) device that interfaces eight
analog trunk lines – each trunk interface is independently configurable. It supports the following trunk types:

 Centralized Automatic Messaging Accounting (CAMA) trunks.

 Central Office (CO), Foreign Exchange (FEX), and Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS) trunks.
 Direct inward dial (DID) trunks.
 TIE trunks: two-way loop dial repeating (LDR) and two-way loop outgoing automatic incoming dial
(OAID).
 Recorded Announcement (RAN) trunks.
 Paging trunks.

NT5D518CE5 Integrated Conference Bridge:

Provides up to 32 ports that can be partitioned into groups from 1 to 10, where each group represents an
independent conference.

NT8D17HC Conference Card:

The Conference (CON) loop is a part of the dual loop NT8D17 Conference/TDS card. It provides circuits for 3-
way or 6-way conferences.

NTRB53AA Clock Controller Card:

Needed for synchronization. Digital trunking requires synchronized clocking so a shift in one clock source
results in an equivalent shift of the same size and direction in all parts of the network.

QPC43R Peripheral Signaling Card:

The Nortel QPC43 Peripheral Signaling Card is a Common Equipment card which enables signaling between
the CPU and PE shelf through network cards. The QPC43 Peripheral Signaling card also provides a 2.048 MHz
clock and timing signals for real time applications.

OPC441F SER D DIGITAL LINE CARD:

Line cards are modular units which could be plugged in to PBX cabinet in order to increase number of
extension lines.

NT4N48BA System Utility Card:

The System Utility card (NT4N48) provides auxiliary functions for the Call Server.

NT4N48BA System Utility Card:

Incorporates the functionality of the System Utility, Transition card, LCD display, and the security device
holder.

NT8D17HC Conference Card:

The Conference (CON) loop is a part of the dual loop NT8D17 Conference/TDS card. It provides circuits for 3-
way or 6-way conferences.

NT5D12AH Dual DTI/PRI (DDP) Card:

Provides two DTI/PRI network connections, an optional connection to an external D-Channel Handler, and an
optional plug-on D-Channel Daughterboard. It provides an interface to the 1.5 Mbit/s external digital line,
either directly or through an office repeater, Line Terminating Unit (LTU), or Channel Service Unit (CSU).
