The X6004 automatically detects the number of DSP channels available for
processing telephone conversations. The number of available DSP channels is
based on the DSP modules installed on the X6004.

connections (FXS ports) available on the X6004. It also automatically assigns DSP
channels to the analog connections to the PSTN (FXO ports).

resources on the X6004.
