used with "drop-and-insert" channel banks. Standard T1 test equipment is compatible with
MCR because the design supports standard Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) in standard T1
timeslots.
Note:
Mini-Carrier Remote is not intended for direct connection to the Public Switched Telephone
Network or other exposed plant networks. Always connect this product to such networks
through a certified (by local, regional, or national safety agency and telecommunications
authority), isolating-type network terminating device (such as CSU, DSU, NTI, or NCTE)
that provides overvoltage protection.
