Description
The WebSTART EPX2203T Cable Modem features an embedded media terminal adapter (EMTA) and two RJ-11 telephone ports for voice services as well as an RJ-45 Ethernet port and a USB port for high-speed data connectivity.
The hardware platform of the EPX2203 is designed to comply with Euro-PacketCable 1.0 and Euro-DOCSIS ® 2.0 specifications.
The standard EPX2203 provides two voice CODECs: G711 and G728. Other CODECs are available on request. Call signaling is compliant with Euro-PacketCable's Network Call Signaling (NCS) specifications.
The EPX2203 can be equipped with an optional battery pack that can provide up to 11 hours of standby operation or 8 hours of active calling in the event of an AC power failure. Many third-party battery backups are also compatible with the EPX2203.
The housing of the EPX2203 incorporates a hide-away stabilizer bar that pivots out when standing the unit on end or it tucks neatly away when the unit is set horizontally on a desktop
or when wall-mounted.
WebWizard
To facilitate setup and troubleshooting, the EPX2203 includes WebWizard, a browser-based
graphical user interface. WebWizard facilitates both setup and troubleshooting and eliminates
the need to load setup software on the CPE. In addition, the seven LEDs on the front panel
provide an informative and easy-to-understand display that indicates cable modem status and
real-time data transmission activity.
