Meridian Digital Telephone External IP Adapter unit
The Meridian Digital Telephone External IP Adapter unit connects to the
telephone set line cord of the digital telephone with a standard RJ-11 connector.
The unit relays voice and signaling information between your digital telephone
at a remote location and the RLC installed in the host PBX over the IP network.

Reach Line Card
The Reach Line Card (RLC), installed in the host PBX, provides service for up
to 16 ports on a single-slot card or 32 ports on a double-slot card. The RLC
emulates a standard digital line card (XDLC), providing PBX functionality for
telephones at remote locations (including sites using the Meridian Digital
Telephone IP Adapter unit).
The RLC relays voice and signaling information between the remote digital
telephone and the host PBX over the IP network.
For a more detailed description, refer to the Reach Line Card Installation and
Administration Guide (NTP 555-8421-210).
Voice over IP technology
The Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit uses Nortel Networks
proprietary Voice over IP technology to send voice and data signals between
your office and the host PBX through the existing IP data network.
