CICS Fiber & Clocking EXP CART

[sstren]

1) Does anyone know if the CICS fiber & Clocking EXP CART gives an additional 8 ports (24 total w/standard software)?

2) Does it allow a Fiber NAM to function on a CICS?

Short lived card MD in 2003
I think that card was only for BRI use in Canada?, allowed for 12X0 with BRI cards and version 1.0.
EOL in 2006.

Did it also increase the total to 24 ports (8x24)?
the other threads did not give a conclusive answer...

No, this card does not add stations. It's just for clocking on a BRI circuit as curlycord wrote. I think the fiber port was to allow connection of a fiber station module so in a way it could add more stations, but it requires more hardware.

I have installed the card which has added 8 DN's to my CICS (I now have 4x24). These ports are not available on the BIX block (0 V on the additional 8 ports), but can be accessed through the fiber module.
Does anyone know if a Fiber NAM running v4.1 VM will work with this expansion module as I now have 8 ports which the NAM can utilize for VM purposes through fiber.
Otherwise, how would one access the additional 8 ports?
