The Cisco loop start interface board, part number WS-SVC-CMM-24FXS=, is designed as a modular network item typically used in telecommunication setups. This particular board supports a 24-port configuration, integrating with FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) interfaces. These interfaces are essential for connecting devices such as analogue telephones and fax machines to a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) network or PBX (Private Branch Exchange) system.
This Cisco component allows native communication between traditional analogue devices and the company's digital network infrastructure, improving the flexibility of telephony services. Each of the 24 FXS ports in the WS-SVC-CMM-24FXS= enables loop start signalling. This feature is crucial in minimising dropped calls and improving the overall stability of voice communication by continually monitoring line status when initiating or terminating a call. The use of loop start interfaces is a practical solution for integrating legacy equipment with modern systems, making this board valuable for businesses needing to maintain older endpoints while upgrading their communication environments.
The WS-SVC-CMM-24FXS= is fully designed to fit within Cisco's modular voice and communication framework, making it versatile within a variety of deployment scenarios. It is compatible with a range of Cisco routers and switches, extending its utility across various settings. This allows organisations to build scalable and efficient communication networks while ensuring compatibility with multiple hardware configurations and software protocols.
