The Cisco High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC-8A=) is a versatile serial adapter designed to enhance connectivity with multiple serial devices. Offering eight ports, this HWIC provides a flexible high-speed WAN solution for various networking requirements. These eight async/sync interfaces on the card make it ideal for businesses needing reliable and consistent communication across multiple devices and locations.
The card supports serial connections for a wide range of interfaces, such as EIA-232, EIA-449, EIA-530, EIA-530A, V.35, and X.21. Each of the eight ports can be individually programmed to operate in either synchronous mode at speeds of up to 256 Kbps or asynchronous mode at rates up to 115.2 Kbps. This flexibility ensures the card can handle different WAN protocols and technologies, including Frame Relay, PPP, and HDLC.
As part of Cisco’s modular hardware family, the HWIC-8A= integrates seamlessly with various Cisco routers, particularly within the ISR (Integrated Services Router) series. It allows for additional physical interfaces without requiring significant modifications to network architecture. Users can benefit from increased port density, giving them the chance to connect multiple devices while maintaining performance and reducing the need for extra hardware.
This WAN Interface Card is also known for its capability of cost-effective expansion. Having multiple ports on a single card reduces the total cost of ownership for businesses seeking to expand their network and allows for consistent data transfer without bottlenecks. Its wide protocol support makes it adaptable, handling even demanding data communication needs.
