Replacing Transcoder DSP Modules

The Acme Packet 6300/6350 supports up to twenty-four Transcoding Modules (TM) for transcoding functionality. The TMs are installed in slots 0 through 23 on the TCU. There are slots for installing the TMs in three locations on the PCB (three groups of eight slots - See Figure 6 - 105). TMs must be installed consecutively in numerical order, starting with slot 0. Slot numbering starts at the lower left slot with 0-7, slots 8-15 in the group to the directly to the right, then slots 16-23 directly above the right group.
