Support For 16 I/O Ports; Installing And Replacing An Option Card - Nortel Contivity 5000 Installing

Support for 16 I/O ports

The Contivity 5000 supports a maximum of 16 I/O ports. This number includes
the two built-in LAN ports on the gateway. When you provision a Contivity 5000

configuration results in 17 I/O ports:
• Two built-in LAN ports (2 ports)
• Three quad T1/E1 CSU/DSU WAN interface cards (12 ports)
• One 1000BASE-SX Ethernet interface card (1 port)
• One (legacy) dual V.35 WAN interface card (2 ports)
