The board supports 3.3 V and 5V signaling, a 64-bit bus with a clock frequency of 64 MHz and has received the code designation 306-216.

The new model offers users functionality similar to the capabilities of the previously developed 306-162 board. This is an active ISDN server adapter with connection via the BRI interface. The presence of built-in DSP processors (digital signal processing) makes it possible to efficiently serve both analog and digital applications on the ISDN network, including telephone and fax communication and data transmission.
