Interface Card Ports and Functionality

The Interface card controls many critical functions in the system. It provides interfaces to
external control devices, terminates all T1 and E1 WAN links, and houses the internal modem.
Table 8-8 lists the interface ports and functions. Figure 8-11 shows the component layout and
labels the ports.

Using the Node Port

The Node Port allows the system to report ACO (Alarm Cutoff) alarms to an external system
to alert the operator to critical situations. Using the ACO function keeps the alarm active until
manually cleared from the terminal.
