The Cloud Services Gateway (CSG) 3000 series appliances offer field-based configurability using the network interface card (NIC) slot. CSG3000 series appliances also support additional NIC options such as ADSL/VDSL NICs, T1/E1 NICs, 8-port GE NICs, and 4-port GE SFP NICs.

Table 1 describes the NICs and the Versa Operating System^TM (VOS^TM) software releases in which the NIC is supported.

Table 1: CSG3000 Series Appliance NIC Support

NIC Type and Model	NIC Options	Description	VOS Support
Gigabit Ethernet
NIC-4GP-120	4-port RJ45 copper Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+, 120 W	Support IEEE 802.3af Type 1 PoE and IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 PoE+ devices 802.3at-2009 over CAT5e. Each port can supply up to 30 W of power, with a maximum of 120 W for the module	Releases 21.2.1 and later
ADSL+/VDSL
NIC-1VA	1 RJ45 port ADSL+/VDSL, Annex A	Single-port ADSL+/VDSL module that supports Annex A (POTS)	Releases 21.1.1 and later
NIC-1VB	1 RJ45 port ADSL+/VDSL, Annex B	Single-port ADSL+/VDSL module that supports Annex B (ISDN)	Releases 21.1.1 and later
T1/E1
NIC-4DS	4 RJ45 ports T1/E1	Supports T1/E1 framing Supports all common formats Supports PPP, HDLC, and Frame Relay encapsulations.	Releases 21.1.1 and later

To supplement the eight built-in PoE+ ports, you can add a 4-port copper Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ NIC, to provide a total of twelve PoE+ ports. CSG3000 series appliances and the optional 4-port PoE+ NIC support the 802.3af and 802.3at standards. Note that an external power supply unit is required for the optional 4-port PoE+ NIC.
