NT4N41 Core/Network module.
Core side
The Core side of the module contains the circuit cards that process calls,
manage network resources, store system memory, maintain the user
database, and monitor the system. These circuit cards also provide
administration interfaces through a terminal, modem, or enterprise IP
network.
The Core side runs in redundant mode: one Core operates the system
while the other runs diagnostic checks and remains ready to take over if
the active Core fails. Both Cores are connected to each Network group
depending on hardware configuration. If one Core fails, the second Core
immediately takes over call processing. The Core shelf backplane is a
compact PCI data bus.

Network side
The Network side of this module contains the cards for half of the Network
group 0. The other half of Network group 0 resides in the second core
network module.
The CS 1000M MG and Meridian 1 PBX 81C CP PIV support a Fiber
Network Fabric network system with a FIJI card. The double slot FIJI
(NTRB33AF) card is installed in slots 8 and 9 on the Net side of the
Core/Net module, while the single slot FIJI (NTRB33BBE5) card is
installed in slot 9 on the Net side of the Core/Net module.
