Information About HWIC-16A
The Cisco HWIC-16A is a 16-port Asynchronous High-Speed WAN Interface Card designed for Cisco’s ISR and ISR G2 modular routers. It delivers high-density asynchronous serial connectivity, flexible deployment options, and secure device management, making it ideal for enterprise branch offices, data centers, and retail environments requiring reliable out-of-band management and serial communications.
Key Features:
- Type: 16-port asynchronous serial WAN interface card supporting RS-232 connections through octal cables (CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC), with data rates up to 230.4 kbps per port
- Supported Devices: Compatible with Cisco 1800, 1900, 2800, 2900, 3800, and 3900 Series Integrated Services Routers, supporting devices such as servers, POS terminals, modems, and network management consoles
- Functionality: Provides high-density asynchronous serial connectivity, supports raw TCP, Telnet, and reverse Telnet protocols for device management, and integrates with Cisco IOS Software for advanced security and WAN services
- Form Factor: Modular interface card designed for easy installation in supported Cisco ISR router slots, allowing flexible expansion of serial port density
- Installation: Simple integration into compatible routers with plug-and-play functionality and straightforward configuration using Cisco IOS commands
- Construction: Durable, enterprise-grade hardware built for continuous 24/7 operation, offering reliable performance in demanding enterprise and branch network environments
The HWIC-16A is ideal for organizations seeking a scalable and secure solution for asynchronous serial connectivity, providing efficient management of remote devices, POS systems, and out-of-band network infrastructure.
