The Cisco® 16-Port T1/E1 Multiprotocol Service Module (MPSM-16-T1E1) is a multiprotocol service module that offers ATM and Frame Relay services for the Cisco MGX® 8850/B and MGX 8830/B Advanced ATM Multiservice Switches. The MPSM-16-T1E1 delivers high port density connectivity using DS-0, NxDS-0, and T1/E1 interfaces.
Product Overview
The Cisco MPSM-16-T1E1 is a single-height service module for the Cisco MGX 8850/B and the Cisco MGX 8830/B Advanced ATM Multiservice Switches (Figure 1). The Cisco MPSM-16-T1E1 delivers connectivity from DS-0, NxDs-0, and T1/E1 speeds and provides Any Service, Any Port (ASAP) capability, which allows both Frame Relay and ATM services on any physical port in the service module.
