Hardware Requirements and Limitations

In an effort to maximize customer experience, whenever possible and applicable, ADTRAN will advertise

Resellers and customers are advised to periodically check with ADTRAN Technical Support and field staff
for these advisories, especially when upgrading to newer software revisions.
