A host or workstation on the same subnet that can use
telnet
or
ping
to reach the
MAX.
•
A VT100 terminal or a workstation with a communications program that supports VT100
emulation.

A remote MAX or a compatible unit that you can reach by

over a
dial-up Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection.
•
Any expansion modules that were shipped separately.
Digital modem card support
The number of digital modems supported on your MAX varies, depending on the model and

not have built-in modems, you can install two Series56 III digital modem cards. The
T1/PRI MAX supports a total of 48 digital modems.
•
The E1/PRI MAX supports as many as 30 modems on its system board. If your MAX does
not have built-in modems, you can install two Series 56 III digital modem cards. The

•
The BRI MAX supports as many as 12 modems on its system board. The BRI MAX can
also support either two eight-port BRI cards for as many as 44 simultaneous digital calls,
or 12 simultaneous modem calls, or any combination that does not exceed either
