traffic and voice traffic, and can support jitter buffers and the following types of applications as
required:

circuit pack even if you have a TN2302 IP Media Processor circuit pack.
• TN799C or D Control-LAN (C-LAN) circuit pack.
Important:
IP telephone firmware Release 1.0 or later requires TN799C V3 or greater C-LAN circuit
