 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card
Jumper strap settings
For most applications, the jumper strap settings remain set to the standard 
configuration as shipped from the factory. See Table 190 on 
The jumper strap settings must be changed, as shown in Table 191 on 
, for the following:
For CO/FX/WATS or TIE trunk loops exceeding 1524 meters (5000 ft.)

Note 1: The terminating impedance of each trunk unit is software selectable in LD 14 and 
should match the nominal impedance of the connecting equipment.
Note 2: The balance network of each trunk unit is software selectable between resistive 600 or 
900 ohms or 3COM and jumper selectable between 3COM and 3CM2. Jumper selection for 
3COM/3CM2 restriction does not apply to NT8D14BB.
