    CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction 2.1 General Description The G.703 Rate and Interface Converter allows low-speed V.24 equipment to be connected to a G.703 codirectional (64 Kbps) interface. This conversion enables connection of low-speed data channels to the PCM network. The rate conversion is performed according to CCITT I.463 (V.110) and I.460 standards. This rate conversion also enables access to ISDN terminal adapters through the telecommunication network.
