Cisco Router Modules HWIC-8A 8-Port Async High Speed Wan Interface Card HWIC-8A
Cisco Router Modules HWIC-8A 8-Port Async High Speed Wan Interface Card
The Cisco HWIC-8A (High-Speed WAN Interface Card) is an expansion module for Cisco routers, designed to enhance connectivity options. Here are some key features and specifications:
Key Features
- Ports: Provides eight asynchronous serial ports (RS-232) for connecting to serial devices.
- Flexibility: Suitable for various applications, including legacy serial connections, point-to-point links, and remote access.
- High-Speed Support: Supports high-speed serial connections, making it ideal for WAN applications.
- Compatibility: Works with several Cisco routers, including the Cisco 1841, 2811, 2821, and 2851.
- Integrated Features: Offers support for various protocols, including PPP, HDLC, and Frame Relay.
Use Cases
- Remote Access: Can be used to connect remote sites to the main network through dedicated lines.
- Legacy Systems: Ideal for integrating older equipment that relies on serial communication into modern networks.
DESCRIPTION:
Serial and asynchronous modules provide highly flexible connections for Cisco® 1800, 1900, 2800, 2900, 3800, and 3900 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs). These modules help customers enable applications such as WAN aggregation, transport for traditional protocols, console servers, and dial access servers. Customers can mix and match modules to tailor cost-effective solutions for common networking problems such as remote network management, external dial-modem access, low-density WAN aggregation, transport for traditional protocols, and high-port-density support.
