The MPSM-16-T1E1 is a single-height front card that accommodates one single-height back card and
fits into a slot in the upper or lower bay of the following chassis systems:
•MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) and MGX 8850/B
•MGX 8830 and MGX 8830/B
The MPSM-16-T1E1 front card supports 16 ports with T1/E1 capabilities, depending upon which back
card it is installed with.
Table 2 -20 lists the different MPSM-16-T1E1 back c ard types, line types, and redundancy supported by
each back card.
The preferred tools for configuring, monitoring, and controlling ser vice modules are the CiscoView and
Cisco WAN Manager applications for equipment management and connection management. However,
the command-line interface (CLI) also provides access to the service modul es and is highly applicable
during initial installation, troubleshooting, and any situation in which low-level control is useful.
