Figure 48 Compression & Congestion Window
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 .
