Overhead Interface PCB Installation
The overhead interface PCB can be installed at the factory or in the field. The overhead
interface PCB is required to access certain options and functionality of the modem.
Observe the following:
•
If the overhead interface PCB is installed at the factory, then the 50-pin interface
relay card will be pre-installed or the G.703/ASYNC card.
•
If the overhead interface PCB is installed in the field, then one of four
connector/card combinations will have been shipped with the overhead interface
PCB.
