Card Information (Field length varies)

The card information, including the length of the field, varies per card type. The system uses the value 0x00 for fields that do not apply to the card or for all fields, if there is no card information.

IP Signaling Series 3 Card

No card specific or hardware specific information is sent for this card.

T-ONE, E-ONE, J-ONE, DS3, ST1LC, SE1LC, VDAC-ONE, IP Network Interface Series 2, and SS7 Multi-Protocol cards

The card information for these cards indicates the logical spans assigned to the card.

The logical spans are indicated in the Logical Span AIB (0x0C) as shown below. The
Excel platform uses the value 0xFF to indicate that no span has been assigned. An AIB for a
4-span line card has four address elements and the value 0x00 for the remaining bytes. An
AIB for an 8-span line card has eight address elements and the value 0x00 for the
remaining bytes.
