CISCO T1 DSU/CSU WAN INTERFACE CARD (WIC-1DSU-T1-V2)

Updated T1 WAN Interface Card with Integrated DSU/CSU Simplifies Internet/Intranet Access by Reducing Deployment

and Management Tasks.

The updated Cisco® T1 data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU) WAN Interface Card (WIC) is an integrated, fully managed DSU/CSU for T1 or fractional T1 service. The WIC-1DSU-T1-V2 is an updated version of the WIC-1DSU-T1, offering additional supported features with the same performance.

The Cisco T1 DSU/CSU WIC is supported on the Cisco 1700 Series, 2600XM Series, 3631, and 3700 Series routers, and Cisco ICS 7750 Software. It provides a cost-effective router-DSU/CSU combination with the following benefits of integration:

Fewer devices and cables to deploy and manage

Remote and local configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting via the Cisco IOS® Software CLI and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Flexibility and investment protection

Single-vendor support

Enhanced reliability

Physical space savings
