Figure 17-171: WIC-2A/S

The dual serial port WIC-2T and WIC-2A/S provide higher levels of serial port density for a single WAN interface card and are supported on the Cisco 2600 and 1720 series. The WIC-2T supports speeds of up to a maximum port speed of 2.048 Mbps. The low serial speed WIC-2A/S supports up to 128Kbps synchronous or 115.2 Kbps asynchronous serial links. Each port can be configured independent of the other allowing support for different physical interfaces (protocol and DTE/DCE). Both cards support mixed asynchronous and synchronous operation on a single card as well.

These dual-serial port WAN interface cards feature Cisco`s new, compact, Smart Serial connectors to support a wide variety of electrical interfaces when used with the appropriate transition cable. This includes: V.35, RS-232, RS-449, RS-530, RS-530A in male and female versions for both DCE and DTE devices. This feature provides easy configuration and re-configuration as network requirements change without the need of purchasing a different serial interface card.

Two cables are required to support the two ports on the WIC.

Hardware Specifications

The WIC-2T and WIC-A/S are supported on the Cisco 3600 (on the NM-1FE2W, NM-2FE-2W, NM-2W, and the NM-1FE1R2W network modules), 2600 and 1720 series.
