Add a Voice Card Feature Template
A voice card feature template configures analog and PRI ISDN digital interfaces, which provide configuration settings for ports on voice cards in routers.
When you add a voice card feature template, for an analog interface, you configure the type of voice card you are configuring, port information for the card, and parameters for the service that you receive from your service provider. For a digital interface, you configure the type of voice card, the T1 or E1 controller, and related parameters.
When you add a module for a voice card, Cisco SD-WAN Manager assists you with the placement of the module by displaying available slots and sub-slots for the module. Cisco SD-WAN Manager determines the available slots and sub-slots based on the device model.
The following table describes options for configuring an analog interface.
