This product is referred to as the ‘E1/T1 PCI card’ in this document unless the context requires a
more specific term.
The serial number of the E1/T1 PCI card is used when configuring the device driver to uniquely
identify the E1/T1 PCI card in the system. The serial number of the card is located on the reverse
of the card (no components) on the top edge and has the format P/N ACXXXX S/N XXXX
WONXXX. Only the 'number' following S/N is used during driver configuration, the other
numbers are for Aculab use.
