PCTFI card
A peripheral control and timing facilities interface (PCTFI) slot card connects a time slot
interchanger (TSI) in a 5ESS SM-2000 switch with a MAX TNT unit. The PCTFI eliminates
separate T1 (or E1) digital trunk interfaces in the switch, providing higher speed and broader
connectivity between the 5ESS switch and MAX TNT unit.
Figure A-13 shows the MAX TNT PCTFI card.
