MERLIN Integrated Network Access
The MERLIN Integrated Network Access application is housed in the 100R module.
This application combines the voice functions of the 100D module with data routing
and a channel service unit (CSU)/data service unit (DSU). Using a T1 or PRI
interface, the 100R module gives the MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System fast access
to the Internet or to a remote network without having to use an external CSU.
The built-in DSU allows you to allocate each T1 or PRI channel to be a voice
or a data channel. If you allocate channels for data, you can create a high-speed
data pipeline for dedicated Internet or remote network access. When you allocate
channels for voice, they function exactly like the channels in a 100D module.
Like the 100D module, each 100R module provides 23 PRI channels or 24 T1 channels.
Up to three 100R modules can reside in the system.
