NT8D15 E&M Trunk card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
trunks. The class of service determines the operation of the switchable pads
contained in each unit. They are assigned as follows:
•
TRC for a 2-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of greater than
2 dB, or for which impedance compensation is provided, or for a 4-wire
non-VNL facility.
•
NTC for a 2-wire, non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of less than 2 dB,
or when impedance compensation is not provided.
See Table 209 for the pad switching control for the various through
connections and the actual port-to-port loss introduced for connections
between the E&M trunk card and any other IPE port designated as Port B.

Note: Transmit and receive designations are from and to the system. Transmit is from the
system to the external facility (digital-to-analog direction in the E&M trunk card). Receive is to
the system from the external facility (analog-to-digital direction in the E&M trunk card).
