 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards
Applications
The LEI is an IPE line card that provides cost-effective connection between 
E1-compatible IPE and a CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 system or 
off-premise extensions over long distances.
Some examples of applications where an LEI can be interfaced to an E1 link 
are:
E1-compatible VRU equipment
E1-compatible turret systems
E1-compatible wireless systems
Remote analog (500/2500-type) telephones through E1 to channel bank
Remote Norstar sites behind CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 over 
E1
The LEI is appropriate for any application where both E1 connectivity and 
“lineside” functionality are required. This includes connections to 
E1-compatible voice response units, voice messaging and trading turret (used 
in stock market applications) systems. See Figure 62.

LEI connection to IPE
For example, the LEI can be used to connect the system to an E1-compatible 
Voice Response Unit (VRU). An example of this type of equipment is Nortel 
Open IVR system. In this way, the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 can
