The Compression & Congestion window allows you to configure data compression on each interface. Data compression allows the size of the data being sent on a WAN link to be minimized, making the WAN link more efficient. To use data compression, the HSIM-W6 must first be fully configured and connected to a live WAN link, and compression must be configured on any remote WAN device(s). Using software compression, the HSIM-W6 supports up to four DS0s (256 Kbps) per WPIM. With the optional hardware compression module installed, the HSIM-W6 supports data compression on all DS0s, which is equivalent to two full T1 lines. For more information on the hardware data compression module (CSX-COMP/ENCR) refer to Chapter 2.
