Overview
The XMFC/MFE (Extended Multi-frequency Compelled/Multi-frequency
sender-receiver) card is used to set up calls between two trunks. Connections
may be between a PBX and a CO or between two PBXs. When connection
has been established, the XMFC/MFE card sends and receives pairs of
frequencies and then drops out of the call.
The XMFC/MFE card can operate in systems using either A-law or µ-law
companding by changing the setting in software.
MFC signaling
The MFC feature allows the Option 11C system to use the CCITT MFC R2
or L1 signaling protocols.
