Packet Fax or Voice DSP Modules
The packet fax or voice digital signal processor (DSP) module (PVDM2) is available in five 
stock-keeping units (SKUs):
You can install up to four PVDM2 modules on all of the NM-HDV2 SKUs. The number of channels 
supported depends on the number and density-type of PVDM2 modules installed. 
Note
PVDM and PVDM2 modules are not interchangeable. Use PVDM modules with the NM-HDV network 
module only, and use PVDM2 modules with the NM-HDV2 network module only.
When used with PVDM2 modules and either the built-in T1/E1 ports or the T1/E1 voice or WAN 
interface cards (VWIC), the NM-HDV2 network module provides the interface to the PBX, the PSTN, 
or WAN. The following VWICs are supported: 
•
VWIC-1MFT-T1
•
VWIC-2MFT-T1
•
VWIC-2MFT-T1-DI
•
VWIC-1MFT-E1
•
VWIC-2MFT-E1
•
VWIC-2MFT-E1-DI
