There are a total of 2 slots to support interface cards that can provide flexible telephony interfaces to UCX software running on any of the E-MetroTel supported server platforms. The telephony cards operate independently of each other and can communicate with a common UCX server, or, even different UCX servers. Note that the two card slots are connected internally via a switch fabric to Eth2, so a only single Ethernet connection to the customer network or UCX using Eth2 should be used.
Wall Mount
The following diagram depicts the spacing of the holes when using the mounting wing hardware (included in the packaging) for wall mounting. If printed from this web page it will not necessarily be recreated at proper scale, so it is for layout informational purposes only.
Note that the mounting brackets must be connected as depicted in the above diagram as the spacing of the holes differs between the two sides of the bracket. The long flat side of the bracket will face the mounting wall while the side of the bracket with two distinct ears attaches to the holes in the sides of the Galaxy Express chassis.
