CICS FIBER & CLOCK CONTROL EXP. CART

[covcom]

I have a cics fiber/clock control gen, NTBB04GE-93. It
has a fiber port in the middle of the card. Will this card give me the 8 additional stations I need? What's the fiber
port for?

Thanks

a CICS Fiber expansion cartridge. Nortel shows it MD in 2003 and EOL in 2006. I don't ever remember seeing anything on this so I am thinking you might be outside of North america? If you still have your original installers guide you might have a reference there. I could only find the Manufacturer's discontinued reference at Nortel.

We recently got one of these sent to us by mistake instead of the 8-port TCM. Does anyone know what this CICS fiber card does?

Thanks Jerry
I'm in the US and got the card online out of Canada. Dates on the card are 1999/11/11, top right. 2001/05 bottom right.
I'll slip it in and see what happens. I'm wondering if the fiber port would allow a NAM to work with a CICS.

covcom,

Seems that would be a reasonable guess. Let us know what happens. Thanks.

I think I would be more interested in a fiber station mod.

Either would make sense, and that being the case, I wish Nortel would bring it back.
