NOTE:
Circuit pack positions are usually given by cabinet, and slot. They may also be given by

rack, making up one port network. A port network is defined as a group of media
gateways connected together with one TDM bus.
CAUTION:
To prevent unnecessary trouble tickets, do not enable the alarms (Alarm Origination
