Connecting to an MVIP Bus
If you connect multiple 5536 WAN boards in the same
computer to an MVIP bus, and enable the boards’ MVIP bus
connections, the boards can connect to each other. This
connection enables 5536 boards in the same machine to
exchange information through the shared Call Setup
application.
When multiple 5536 WAN boards are connected on an MVIP
bus, one board can pass calls of an unsupported channel type
to another that supports the channel type. For example, an
5536 WAN board without digital modems (and therefore no
support for speech channels) can pass speech calls to an 5536
WAN board with digital modem channels configured to accept
speech calls.
