Note: In Cabinet systems equipped with Meridian Mail, the Universal
Trunk line card cannot be installed in slot 10 of the main cabinet.
The NT8D15 E&M trunk card supports the following types of trunks:
• 2-wire E&M Type I signaling trunks
• two-wire dial repeating trunks
• two or four wire tie trunks
• 4-wire E&M trunks:
— Type I or Type II signaling
— duplex (DX) signaling
• paging (PAG) trunks
Type I signaling uses two signaling wires plus ground. Type II and DX
signaling uses two pairs of signaling wires. Most electronic switching
systems use Type II signaling.
Table 196 lists the signaling and trunk types supported by the NT8D15 E&M
trunk card.
