The Cisco 32-Port Asynchronous Serial Service Module (Part Number: SM-32A=) is designed to offer enhanced serial connectivity for Cisco ISR G2 series routers. It provides 32 asynchronous serial ports within a single network module, making it suitable for various applications such as branch offices or centralised deployments requiring high-density terminal server functionality. The service module is suitable for use with a variety of serial devices, including modems, routers, and other networking equipment.
This module supports a range of serial protocols, including RS-232, providing flexibility for different network environments. Each of the 32 ports can be individually configured and managed to accommodate distinct requirements. The physical connection is provided through a high-density 68-pin connector, which can be further extended using appropriate cabling to terminate in individual DB-25 connectors, allowing the module to interface with a wide range of legacy and modern devices.
The Cisco SM-32A= serial service module integrates smoothly with Cisco's ISR G2 series, providing a scalable solution for enterprises or organisations needing multiple serial interfaces. With support for asynchronous communication, this module supports a broad array of use cases, from point-of-sale (POS) systems to industrial process controls and network management systems that rely on serial connections. The integrated design allows users to reduce the need for additional external devices, resulting in a more streamlined deployment while maintaining operational reliability.
This service module is compatible with Cisco IOS Software, ensuring that administrators can configure and manage the module using commonly known command-line utilities. This makes it easy to monitor, troubleshoot, and adjust settings as needed based on network demands.
