Digital Modem Network Module
Digital modem network modules do not provide network interfaces of their own, but instead handle
analog calls passing through other router interfaces. In addition to the digital modem module, the router
must contain a PRI or BRI interface to connect to the ISDN channel, and another interface, such as
Ethernet, to provide connectivity to the LAN. The PRI or BRI module concurrently handles digital ISDN
analog calls passing through other router interfaces. In addition to the digital modem module, the router
must contain a PRI or BRI interface to connect to the ISDN channel, and another interface, such as
Ethernet, to provide connectivity to the LAN. The PRI or BRI module concurrently handles digital ISDN
