WSX-FT1/E1-SC
The WSX-FT1/E1-SC module contains one or two T1 or E1 ports and one or two serial ports. T1
and E1 ports use RJ-48C connectors. The T1 version of this module is referred to as the
WSX-FT1-SC; t he E1 version is referred to as the WSX-FE1-SC. You can configure these ports to
run either Frame Relay or the Point-to-Point Protocol ( PPP ). See WSX-FT1/E1-SC Technical
Specifications on page 3-33 for more information.
This module includes an integrated CSU/DSU to enable direct connection to a T1/E1 device,
such as a PBX , or a T1/E1 line to a service provider.
You can configure physical port parameters through software commands. Configuration
options include frame format, facility datalink, and line coding. In addition, the switch can
store up to 24 hours of local and remote statistics. See Chapter 33, “Managing
T1 and E1
Ports,” for more information on software-configurable parameters.
The WSX-FT1/E1-SC also supports STAC hardware compression.
With the optional HRE-X you can increase routing performance to 1.5 million packets per
second per module and up to 12 Mpps in a fully-loaded 9-slot chassis.
