PRODUCT MIGRATION OPTIONS
The recommended replacement for the Cisco 4 port Brooktrout board for Unity Bridge (TR-114 variant) is the 4 or 8 port Brooktrout board for Unity Bridge (TR-1034 variant). For use as part of the Unity Bridge solution, both cards offer equivalent functionality (with the sole exception being that the TR-1034 variant come in an 8 port form factor. However, due to software incompatibilities, the TR-114 and TR-1034 cards can't run concurrently in the same Unity Bridge server.
