There are a variety of applications where the Analog 410 Series cards (TDM410 or the AEX410) can prove useful. An example is provided in the following figure. Figure 1: Sample Card Application Digium, Inc.
Digium recommends that those users concerned about echo cancellation purchase the VPMADT032 hardware echo cancellation module. The VPMADT032 may be combined with both the TDM410 and AEX410. The VPMADT032 is designed to handle up to 128ms of echo cancellation across all channels and provides a G.168 echo cancellation solution.
It can also be built out as the heart of a media gateway, bridging the legacy PSTN to the expanding world of IP telephony. Asterisk’s modular architecture allows it to convert between a wide range of communications protocols and media codecs. Digium, Inc. Page 16...

Slots Figure 4: Motherboard Slots The TDM410 card is a 32-bit 33MHz card keyed for universal 3.3 volt or 5.0 volt operation and works in any PCI 2.2 (or greater) compliant slot. This means that in the motherboard shown in Figure 4, the TDM410 card will fit into Slots 1, 2, or 3 (PCI slots), but will not fit into Slot 0 (AGP slot) or Slot 4 (PCI Express slot).
2. Attach a static strap to your wrist and open the case. 3. Remove the bracket place holder and insert the card into a PCI (TDM410) or PCI Express (AEX410) slot. See Figure 5. Figure 5: Insert the Card 4. If your card has any FXS modules, you will also need to connect the power cable from your computer’s power supply to the back of the...
If you have FXS modules on your card and your computer does not have power cables available, then power must be provided to the Analog 410 Series card by an alternate means. Digium provides a solution to this problem with the optional PWR2400B (available separately). This card is essentially a PCI bracket assembly that takes power from an external DC power supply and routes it to two 15"...
