Signals Types and Rates
Signal Rates
The following table lists the sample rates and how many signals at each rate an input card or output
card can support. Each signal type requires a specific input card or output card. For a description of
each card and corresponding card part numbers, see
The router can manage several types of signals in virtually any combination. Supported signals
include:
