Description
Detail Specifications
The HWIC-8A/S-232 is a Cisco hardware interface card (HWIC) that provides 8 asynchronous/synchronous serial EIA-232 ports for connecting serial devices to Cisco routers.
The card supports both asynchronous and synchronous serial communication, which means it can handle both types of serial data transfer. It also supports both DTE (data terminal equipment) and DCE (data communication equipment) interfaces, allowing it to connect to a wide range of serial devices.
The card is designed to be plugged into a Cisco router’s expansion slot, allowing the router to communicate with serial devices such as terminals, modems, and other serial-based equipment. It also supports various serial protocols, including HDLC, PPP, and Frame Relay, providing compatibility with a wide range of devices.
The model also supports the Cisco IOS software, which allows for easy management and configuration of the serial connections. Additionally, it supports the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), which allows the router to automatically discover and configure connected devices.
High-Performance
The model Cisco hardware interface card is designed to provide high performance and reliability for serial communication.
In terms of performance, the card supports both asynchronous and synchronous serial communication, which means it can handle both types of serial data transfer. It also supports data rates of up to 230.4 kbps, providing fast and reliable data transfer for connected devices.
In terms of reliability, the HWIC-8A/S-232 is built with robust components and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it can withstand harsh environmental conditions and meet the demands of high-traffic networks. The card also supports various serial protocols, including HDLC, PPP, and Frame Relay, which provide added reliability and compatibility with a wide range of devices.
Additionally, the card is designed to be hot-swappable, which means it can be replaced without interrupting the network operation, minimizing downtime. It also supports the Cisco IOS software, which allows for easy management and configuration of the serial connections, and the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), which allows the router to automatically discover and configure connected devices.
Power and Innovation
The HWIC-8A/S-232 Cisco hardware interface card is designed with power-saving features and innovative technologies to provide efficient and reliable performance.
In terms of power, the card is designed to have low power consumption which means it generates less heat, reducing the need for additional cooling and helps to extend the life of the card. It can also be used in conjunction with Cisco EnergyWise technology, which allows for the management and reduction of energy consumption across the network.
