553-3011-100 Standard 14.00 January 2002
Receive mode
When in receive mode, the XMFC/MFE card is linked to the trunk card by a
PCM speech path over the Meridian network cards. MFC signals coming in
over the trunks are relayed to the XMFC/MFE card as though they were
speech. The XMFC/MFC card interprets each tone pair and sends the
information to the CPU through the CPU bus.
Send mode
When in send mode, the CPU sends data to the XMFC/MFE card through the
CPU bus. The CPU tells the XMFC/MFE card which tone pairs to send and
the XMFC/MFE card generates the required tones and sends them to the trunk
over the PCM network speech path. The trunk transmits the tones to the far
end.
