  • Computer Bus

    • P - PCI
    • cP or CP - Compact PCI
    • E - PCI Express

  • Channels

    • nV or nv - Voice; n = number of voice channels.
    • nF or nf - Fax; n = number of fax channels.

  • Telecom Interfaces

    • nE1 - Onboard E1; n = number of ports (1 is default).
    • nT1 - Onboard T1; n = number of ports (1 is default).
    • nL - Onboard loop start analog; n = number of ports (1 is default).
    • nC - Onboard combo analog; n = number of ports (1 is default).
    • nD - Onboard DID analog; n = number of ports (1 is default).
    • Analog - Onboard loop start analog.
    • BRI - Onboard BRI
    • TE - Onboard T1/E1 PRI interfaces

  • Packet Network Interfaces

    • nN - Onboard Ethernet ports; n = number of ports (1 is the default).

This is how the sections would appear for a sample fax board:
