Natural MicroSystems THE AG 4000 SERIES PRODUCT FAMILY Family of DSP and Digital PSTN Interface PCI and CompactPCI Boards ® T he Natural MicroSystems Alliance Generation 4000 Series (AG 4000) is a versatile family of digital signal processing (DSP) and digital PSTN interface PCI and ® CompactPCI boards for developers of high-performance telecommunications sys- tems. It is a new family of boards based on Natural MicroSystems’ industry-leading Alliance Generation DSP architecture which delivers an open development environ- ment, a rich set of features, built-in scalability, and increased processing power. The AG 4000 Series provides a cost-effective platform that offers unmatched capability for mixed media types to service a wide range of voice and signaling applications. Natural MicroSystems which enables the addition, subtraction, and AG 4000 replacement of boards in a running system. PCI Board Family CT Access features a number of API calls that enable applications to dynamically receive The PCI family offers single T1 (24 ports) or notification of board insertions and extractions. single E1 (30 ports), dual T1 (48 ports) or dual E1 (60 ports), and quad T1 (96 ports) and quad E1 (120 ports) interfaces.
