NMC-RX 7.2.x User Guide, Vol. 1 > Configuring T3/E3 and T1/E1 Modules > Overview

Overview

E-series routers can route traffic, such as IP/Frame Relay, IP/PPP, or IP/ATM, on higher-speed uplink modules into the core of the Internet. T3/E3 and T1/E1 line modules pair with I/O modules to provide particular capabilities and connections.

For complete module details, see Table 52 and the ERX Module Guide.
