I2C bus and accepts NCM control
 SVBS Functions
SVBS is the core part for enabling voice services and supporting SS7
signaling MTP1 and MTP2.

 A SVM contain 1 SVP and 15 SVEs.

 SVICM receive traffic data from the RS-422 port of NIM then forward to
SVM,SVP forward to SVE,SVE transcoding to PCM and send through
HW,in other direction,SVE transcoding PCM to QCELP or EVRC,then
send to SVP,then to SVICM,and then NIM.
 PCFS
Each BSC can support 10 PCFS subsystems.
Each PCFS subsystem comprises 1 PCFIM board and 8 PCF boards.
Each PCFS subsystem is connected with the PDSN via PCFIM board, and
provides a 10M/100M self-adaptive physical Ethernet interface through the
PCFIM board.
