Cisco HWIC-2T 2-Port Serial WAN Interface
Card
Serial and asynchronous high-speed WAN interface cards (HWICs) provide highly
flexible connections for Cisco1800, 1900, 2800, 2900, 3800, and 3900 Series
Integrated Services Routers. These HWICs help customers enable applications such
as WAN access, legacy protocol transport, console server, and dial access
server. You can mix and match HWICs to tailor cost-effective solutions for
common networking problems such as remote network management, external
dial-modem access, low-density WAN aggregation, legacy protocol transport, and
high-port-density support.
Cisco offers four new serial and asynchronous HWICs:
- Cisco 2-Port Serial WAN Interface Card (HWIC-2T)
Cisco 2-Port Serial and Asynchronous HWICs
Common Applications
These highly flexible interface cards facilitate several important
applications:
- WAN access and aggregation
- Legacy protocol transport
- Dial access server
WAN Access and Aggregation
Serial interfaces can be used to provide WAN access for remote sites. With
support for serial speeds up to 8 Mbps per port, the 2-port serial HWIC is ideal
for low- and medium-density WAN aggregation
WAN Concentration
Legacy Protocol Transport
Serial and synchronous/asynchronous ports are ideally suited to transport
legacy traffic across a TCP/IP network, facilitating network convergence and
eliminating costly separate leased lines for this traffic. Legacy protocols
supported by Cisco IOSSoftware include:
- Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and Synchronous Data Link Control
(SDLC) Protocol
- Binary Synchronous Communications Protocol (Bisync)
- X.25 Protocol
Network Convergence
Dial Access Server
Asynchronous HWICs can connect to external dial modems to provide low-density
dial access servers.
