The Campus-REX2 can be installed into either a Campus-Star chassis
(paired with a Campus-RS or -HRS Line Unit) or into a Campus-RS or -HRS
desktop unit. The , installed into either, provides one end of a High-bit-rate

another Campus-RS, Campus-HRS, Campus-T1®, Campus-768®, or
Campus-E1® desktop unit or a line unit in another chassis, the Campus

wire at an HDSL rate specified by the user from a range of rates up to 4.608
Mbps.
When the Campus-REX2 is installed in a Campus-HRS desktop unit or with
