Information About HWIC-1DSU-56K4
The HWIC-1DSU-56K4 interface card is designed for Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs), such as the 1900 and 2900 series. This module provides a single RJ-48S synchronous serial port and integrates CSU/DSU functionality into a single WAN interface card. It supports 4-wire 56K and 64Kbps digital lines compatible with a range of carrier services, including AT&T’s Accunet 56, Sprint’s VPN-56, and other DDS offerings conforming to AT&T Publication 62310. The card is ideal for enterprises or branch offices that require reliable, low-speed WAN connectivity to support legacy systems, private networks, or secure dial-in access. With seamless integration into Cisco’s IOS-based platforms, this HWIC offers stable and consistent WAN performance.
Key Features:
- Integrated CSU/DSU: Combines both CSU and DSU functions for simplified WAN connectivity.
- Supports 56K and 64K Services: Compatible with switched and dedicated 4-wire digital networks.
- Standards-Based: Works with services following AT&T Publication 62310 for point-to-point or multipoint topologies.
- Single RJ-48S Port: Uses a standard RJ-48S connector for straightforward cabling with telco circuits.
- Synchronous Serial Support: Provides a synchronous interface for reliable timing and stable connections.
- Compatibility with Cisco ISRs: Designed to work seamlessly with Cisco 1900 and 2900 Series routers.
- Low-Speed WAN Option: Ideal for locations with basic WAN needs or legacy infrastructure.
- Flexible Application Use: Supports both dedicated DDS and switched data service configurations.
- Carrier-Grade Interoperability: Compatible with AT&T Accunet 56, Sprint VPN-56, and other telecom data services.
- Compact HWIC Form Factor: Easy to install in high-density router configurations without additional rack space.
The HWIC-1DSU-56K4 offers a compact and reliable solution for organizations seeking cost-effective serial WAN connectivity through legacy DDS and 4-wire digital networks.
