The Nortel NT8D04BA 08 is a Media Gateway Controller (MGC) card, Release 5, for the Nortel Succession/CS1000 communication server platform. The MGC card is the component that turns a Meridian 1-style Media Gateway cabinet into an IP-capable CS1000 system: it occupies the controller slot in the gateway, carries the call-server-facing IP connectivity, and works together with DSP daughterboards fitted to the same card to provide the actual voice-channel capacity. The R5 designation identifies the CS1000 software release the card’s firmware is built for; later CS1000 systems used the NTDW60/NTDW98-family MGC cards referenced elsewhere in Nortel’s own documentation, so this earlier NT8D04-family card represents an earlier point in the same MGC card lineage rather than a different platform. Genuine controller cards such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining or restoring gateway control capability on an existing Release 5 CS1000 deployment. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel CS1000 components. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
