Difference between vic-2fxo & vic-2fxo-m?

[gprokschg]

Hi,

what is the difference between cards lablled vic-2fxo-m1 or m2 or m3 (which are all country specific) and the cards simply labeled as vic-2fxo? Will the "vic-2fxo" cards work in any country? I know the vic2-2fxo cards are the second gen cards which are universally accepted.

Cheers,

Gordon

If you want callerid, you will need the M-VICs configured with H.323

VIC-2FXO-M1 Two-port FXO for U.S. with battery reversal

VIC-2FXO-M2 Two-port FXO for Europe with battery reversal

VIC-2FXO-M3 Two-port FXO for Australia

OK, but what about the cards which are simply labelled "vic-2FXO" without any "-mx" descriptors?

You should still be able to use them. There were country/region specific requirements for Australia/Europe but a regular VIC-2FXO should still work any place else.

[gprokschg]

OK, so the vic-2fxo cards are like a "super set" of the others?

[jtufail]

Yes you can say that. It is the legacy card which first started supporting FXO interfaces on the routers, since then many revision has been made with regards to change of dsps as well as density on the cards.

So are you saying that a VIC-FXO-M1, M2 and M3 will all work in Australia, but if I want some features (such as callerid) in Australia I need an M3?

[jtufail]

Yes for CallerID feature you need a M card.

[gprokschg]

So Caller ID is the only feature difference between the M cards and the non M cards? Or are there others?
