1.1 About This Product

The boards are designed to reside in single ISA bus slots. They are connected to one another via a 40-conductor ribbon cable (the MVIPTM bus cable). The MVIP bus is a high-speed, multiplexed digital telephony "highway" which allows boards to share data, signaling and switching information.

Each board connects to the OWS phones and/or the public service telephone network via a DB-62 high density connector on the card bracket. A custom cable is available that connects this port directly to a telephony type 50 pin connector (male RJ21X).

T Connect-x with Conferencing products support telephone conferences, where two or more parties are connected together in such a way that any party can speak to and/or hear any other party. (Parties may fully participate in a conference, "listen only" to the conference, or "talk only" to the conference.) The boards are capable of conferencing up to 16 parties. Any conference combination from 2 parties in 8 conferences up to 16 parties in only one conference is possible. However, there is a practical limit of eight parties per conference, in order to insure acceptable speech quality. For more information on conferencing, see the Conferencing Developer's Reference Manual.
