Balanced drivers allow EIA/TIA-449 signals to travel greater distances than EIA/TIA-232 signals. The
recommended distance limits for EIA/TIA-449 shown in
EIA-530. Typically, EIA/TIA-449 and EIA-530 can support 2-Mb/s rates, and V.35 can support 4-Mb/s
rates.
Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial Module Baud Rates
The following baud-rate limitations apply to the slow-speed serial interfaces found in the
asynchronous/synchronous serial modules:

ISDN BRI Connections
BRI WAN interface cards provide ISDN BRI connections. The BRI modules and BRI WAN interface
cards are available with either an S/T interface that requires an external Network Terminator 1 (NT1),
or a U interface that has a built-in NT1.
You can install the BRI modules in any available slot in the chassis.
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF

or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,
detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1026
Use a BRI cable (not included) to connect the BRI WAN interface card directly to an ISDN.
