AMS Chassis
AMS 400 - 4 Slot Chassis
• Height: 2U; Width: 17.25” (438.15 mm)
• Depth: 10” (254 mm)
• Weight: 17.6 lbs / 8 kg for empty chassis
(with 2 power supplies)
• 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz dual redundant power
supply as standard
Environmental Requirements
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
• Storage temperature: -25°C to 70°C (-13°F to 158°F),
ambient
• Relative humidity: 5% to 90% non-condensing
Notes
1 When using in-band DTMF detection, MCU audio
capacity drops to 72 ports. H.235 encryption must be off.
2 When using H.235 encryption, MCU audio capacity drops
to 72 ports, video capacity is unaffected for calls up to
768Kbps and drops by 50% for calls at higher rates.
3 When using encryption, gw-P20 capacity drops to half,
gw-S40 capacity remains unaffected.
