Port card options
ESI Communications Servers support a wide range of port cards. Any E2 port card can be used on any ESI
Communications Server with the use of an additional E2 Port Card “Hot Swap” Adapter (except on the ESI-100).

The CS port cards (used with the ESI-1000, ESI-600, and ESI-200) are full-size cards with built-in “hot-swap”
capability, along with a special “ejector-handle” mechanism that makes them literally a snap to install or uninstall.
The following port cards are supported:
