Description
The Nortel CPCI CNIT card is used to interface between the CS2000 system's Common Processor Carrier Interface (CPCI) bus and the network interfaces that are used to connect to other network elements. The card can support a variety of interfaces, including DS1, DS3, OC-3, Gigabit Ethernet, and Packet over SONET/SDH. The CNIT card is designed to be hot-swappable. It can be installed in the CPCI shelf of the CS2000 system, and multiple CNIT cards can be used in a single system to provide redundancy and load balancing.
