Table 3 provides relevant information for migrating from the NMxVfamily of modules to the NM-HD-xx family of modules.The Cisco IP Communications Voice/Fax Network Modules (NM-HD-1V, NM-HD-2V and NM-HD-2VE) support all the features of the current lowdensity voice/fax network modules (NM-xV) while offering significant advantages such as higher port and channel densities and a new generation ofDSPs with greater memory and processing power. The Cisco IP Communications Voice/Fax Network Modules employ the same modulararchitecture as low density voice/fax network modules, and the new family of configurable voice interface cards supports all the existing voice/faxinterface types.© 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc.
