The Cisco® 8-Port T1/E1 Multiprotocol Service Module (MPSM-8-T1E1) offers ATM, Frame Relay, and Circuit Emulation services in the same module for the Cisco MGX® 8850/B and MGX 8830/B Advanced ATM Multiservice Switches.
Product Overview
The Cisco MPSM-8-T1E1 is an 8-port T1 or E1, single-height service module for the Cisco MGX 8830/B and MGX 8850/B Advanced ATM Multiservice Switches. The MPSM-8-T1E1 delivers connectivity from DS-0 to T1/E1 speeds and can be configured for ATM, Frame Relay, or Circuit Emulation service.
Key Features and Benefits
• Any service, any card (ASAC) functionality, which reduces operation and deployment costs by supporting ATM, Frame Relay, or Circuit Emulation service on the same hardware module
• Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) 1.0 and IMA 1.1 along with IMA restart capability
• Support for FRF 8.1 Frame Relay-to-ATM service interworking
• Acts as a replacement for the legacy 8-port Frame Relay Service Modules (FRSMs), ATM Service Modules (AUSMs), and Circuit Emulation Service Modules (CESMs). MPSM-8-T1E1 can reside within the same redundancy group with the legacy FRSM, AUSM, and CESM modules offering the ability to migrate seamlessly from legacy modules to the new MPSM.
• Independent Transport Clock (ITC) and Common Transmit Clocking (CTC) clocking modes
• Mixed-mode 1:N redundancy support to ease sparing requirements
• Built-in bit-error-rate-test (BERT) testing
