Resiliency and High Availability
The Cisco WIC-1DSU-T1-V2= is designed to provide resiliency and high availability when used with compatible Cisco routers. Resiliency refers to a system’s ability to withstand and recover from failures, while high availability refers to the ability of a system to remain operational and available for use.
Here are some of the features of this product that contribute to its resiliency and high availability:
- Error detection and correction: This Product supports advanced T1 line coding schemes such as B8ZS that detect and correct errors in the data transmitted over the T1 line. This helps to ensure that the data is transmitted reliably, even in the event of errors.
- Loopback tests: This Product provides the ability to perform loopback tests on the T1 line, which allows administrators to isolate and troubleshoot issues on the circuit. This helps to quickly identify and resolve problems, increasing the availability of the T1 link.
- Alarm: This Product has an alarm indicator that allows the identification of a variety of alarm conditions such as loss of signal, loss of frame, AIS, and Remote alarm, this helps the administrator to proactively monitor the health of the T1 link.
- Quality of Service (QoS): This Product supports QoS, which allows administrators to prioritize different types of traffic. This ensures that critical traffic gets priority over less important traffic, increasing the availability of the T1 link for critical traffic.
- Remote management: This Product can be remotely managed, allowing administrators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the module remotely. This allows for quick response to any issues that may arise, reducing downtime and increasing the availability of the T1 link.
Additional Information
Cisco offers a wide range of expansion modules that can be used to add additional ports and connectivity options to certain Cisco routers. These expansion modules are designed to increase the functionality of the router and provide additional options for connecting to various types of networks and devices.
1 Port Expansion Modules are designed to add a single additional interface to a Cisco router, allowing for an additional connection to a WAN, LAN, or other type of network. These modules can be used to add additional connectivity options, such as adding a T1 or E1 interface, or to add additional Ethernet ports.
Like the WIC-1DSU-T1-V2= discussed before, these expansion modules are specific to certain routers, and they may not be compatible with all routers. It’s important to check the compatibility before installing the expansion module.
It is also important to note that these expansion modules may require additional configuration and setup to work properly, and they may also require additional licenses or software to activate certain features or functionality.
In conclusion, Cisco expansion modules are designed to add additional ports and connectivity options to certain Cisco routers. They are usually specific to certain routers, which means it’s important to check compatibility before installation but also provide additional functionality and increased flexibility. To get the best performance and use all features, additional configuration, setup, and licenses may be required.
