Introduction

Expand from 2 to 24 ports in mixed TE and NT modes, as required. Changing modes requires no jumpers — simply invert the colour-coded module
Single synchronous PCI and PCI Express interface for all 24 BRI interfaces
The A500 consists of a Remora^™ BRI daughterboard mounted on the AFT PCI card. The Remora^™ BRI card has three sockets, each of which can accept an S/T BRI module
One S/T BRI module has two S/T four wire interfaces, which support TE or NT modes of operation
Up to three additional Remora^™ daughterboards can be mounted in empty slot positions beside the A500 assembly. These are connected to the A500 by a special backplane bus connector
Supports Asterisk^®, FreeSwitch^™as well as other Open Source and proprietary PBX, Switch, IVR, and VoIP gateway applications
uses Wanpipe Driver which includes a suite of configuration, operation and debugging utilities

Note: If you are using Additional remora then you need to connect internal 12V power connector with main A500 board.

A500 BRI Termination resistors to switch between NT and TE modes

The A500 comes with termination resistors that have to be disabled (set to OFF) when running in TE mode and enabled (set to ON) when running in NT mode.

The resistors corresponding ports 1 and 2 are closest to the PCI base.
The ON position is closer to the NT/TE modules.
The OFF position is closer to the RJ-45 connectors.
