Balanced drivers allow EIA/TIA-449 signals to travel greater distances than EIA/TIA-232 signals. The recommended distance limits for EIA/TIA-449 shown in Table 2-3are also valid for V.35, X.21, and EIA-530. Typically, EIA/TIA-449 and EIA-530 can support 2-Mbps rates, and V.35 can support 4-Mbps rates.

Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial Module Baud Rates

The following baud-rate limitations apply to the slow-speed serial interfaces found in the asynchronous/synchronous serial modules:

Asynchronous interface—Maximum baud rate is 115.2 kbps.

Synchronous interface—Maximum baud rate is 128-kbps full duplex.

ISDN BRI Connections

The BRI WAN interface cards provide Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) connections. The BRI modules and BRI WAN interface cards are available with either an S/T interface that requires an external Network Terminator 1 (NT1), or a U interface that has a built-in NT1.

You can install the BRI modules in any available slot in the chassis.

Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1026

Use a BRI cable (not included) to connect the BRI WAN interface card directly to an ISDN. Table 2-4lists the specifications for ISDN BRI cables. Also, refer to the Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications online document for pinouts. This document is located on Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM.
