The Cisco expansion module, part number NM-16A/S-RF, is a refurbished network module designed to extend the connectivity capabilities of compatible Cisco networking devices. This module provides 16 asynchronous serial ports that can be used for various types of configurations, ensuring flexibility and scalability within network operations. Each of the ports supports different modes of communication, including SDLC, frame relay, and X.25 protocols, making this module versatile for a wide range of networking environments.
Designed to be compatible with a variety of Cisco routers, this module allows organisations to increase communication options without the necessity of significant hardware overhauls. The NM-16A/S-RF is a refurbished unit classified under Cisco's RF (refurbished) certification, offering the same performance as new modules but with a more economical price point. Its 16 asynchronous ports can operate at speeds up to 115.2 kbps, which makes it well-suited for lower-speed WAN connectivity applications, legacy systems, or for connecting to devices such as PBX systems.
Each of the 16 available ports can be individually configured, and the module includes support for reverse Telnet, allowing remote management of network resources. This feature can facilitate efficient troubleshooting and deployment in distributed environments. The NM-16A/S-RF is also term-compliant, meaning it adheres to international regulations for safe, consistent usage within corporate networking environments.
Given its ability to handle varied serial communication types and its high level of configurability, this module is ideal for expanding the port density on compatible Cisco routers, especially in configurations that require the use of asynchronous serial connections.
