The Cisco 2-Port Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial WAN Interface Card (part number HWIC-2A/S) is designed to enhance a network's capabilities by adding two serial ports. This module is compatible with Cisco routers, providing a high-performance WAN solution. It offers both asynchronous and synchronous operation, making it highly versatile for various WAN communication protocols and traffic management requirements.
The module features two ports, supporting both synchronous protocols (up to 128 kbps) and asynchronous protocols (up to 115.2 kbps). This wide range of speed options provides flexibility in connecting to different types of WAN services. The card also supports key functions such as HDLC and PPP, which are essential for reliable WAN link connections.
The HWIC-2A/S card is designed to fit easily into the router's modular slot, providing scalability and expandability to meet growing networking needs. The ports use smart serial connectors, and various cable options are available, allowing different devices to be connected for optimal use in lab environments or branch networks. Due to the card’s ability to support a variety of interfaces, it is a valuable addition for users requiring mixed WAN environments.
This interface card offers a cost-effective solution for businesses that need to connect different branch offices or locations and still maintain high performance and flexibility. Additionally, the card plays a key role in enhancing the reliability of data transmission over both short and long distances.
