Product Features
Technical Overview
This voice interface module operates as a VIM2 (Voice Interface Module 2) specifically designed for the NetVanta 6000 Series chassis. It delivers eight independent FXS ports, each providing standard analog telephony signaling for connecting endpoint devices. The module interfaces directly with the gateway's backplane, leveraging the system's power and management capabilities.
The RJ-11 connectors follow standard telephony pinouts, ensuring compatibility with common analog cables and devices. Each port supports standard FXS signaling for connecting to telephones, fax machines, modems, or other analog station equipment, with the gateway handling conversion between analog and IP domains.
