Cisco T1/Fractional T1 DSU/CSU WAN Interface Card [Cisco 1600 Series Routers]

Data Sheet

Cisco T1 DSU/CSU
WAN Interface Card (WIC-1DSU-T1)

Integrated Solution Simplifies Internet/Intranet Access by Reducing Deployment and Management Tasks

The Cisco Systems' T1 data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU) WAN interface card is an integrated, fully managed DSU/CSU for T1 or fractional T1 service. Supported on the Cisco 1600, 1720, 2600, 3600, and 3700 series routers, 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 trouble- shooting via Cisco IOS® command-line interface (CLI)
Flexibility and investment protection
Single-vendor support
Enhanced reliability
Physical space savings

Benefits of an Integrated, Fully Managed Solution

The T1 DSU/CSU WAN interface card enables trouble-free Internet/intranet access with a simple, fully managed, integrated solution from a single vendor. Its ease of configuration and management differentiates it from external/separate DSU/CSUs. Additionally, full management capability and modularity differentiates the T1 DSU/CSU WAN interface card from other integrated router-DSU/CSU solutions, which typically have limited management and fixed configuration. This card delivers flexibility and investment protection, extending the growing family of WAN interface cards for the Cisco 1600 and 3600 routers.

Reduced Deployment and Management Time and Costs

Ease of Configuration and Management. The T1 DSU/CSU WAN interface card simplifies tasks in the following ways:

Easily configures via Cisco IOS initial SETUP, a utility that prompts a series of basic configur- ation questions upon router startup. Also, ClickStart, a Web browser- based interface tool, provides point-and-click initial configuration for the WAN interface card and the Cisco 1600 routers.
Allows simplified remote and local configuration, management, and troubleshooting of the DSU/CSU from Cisco IOS CLI
- Using the familiar Cisco IOS CLI eliminates the need to learn/use a second set of command syntax for an external DSU/CSU
- Convenient Telnet connection to router eliminates the need for out-of-band management of external DSU/CSUs.
- Cisco IOS CLI provides extensive DSU/CSU statistics (such as 24-hour history) and troubleshooting capability (such as DSU/CSU self test, loopbacks, DSU/CSU reset, alarm counters, T1 statistics, and so on)
Simplified Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management, with router and DSU/CSU managed as a single SNMP entity through CiscoWorks/CiscoView. The T1 DSU/CSU WAN interface card SNMP agent supports the standard Management Information Base II (MIB II), Cisco integrated DSU/CSU MIB, and T1 MIB (RFC 1406). All T1 performance statistics can be monitored. Additionally, the router generates the appropriate SNMP traps in response to DSU/CSU alarms.
End-user-initiated manual loopback button allows users at remote sites to easily initiate a T1 network line loopback by pushing a recessed button on WAN interface card front panel without having to access the router via console port or Telnet.
LEDs for carrier detect, loopback, and alarm allow for quick troubleshooting.

Physical Convenience. No additional space is needed because the DSU/CSU WAN interface card is inserted into the router. Additionally, this integrated solution eliminates the need for a bulky serial cable, reducing deployment time and cost.

Flexibility and Investment Protection

The T1 DSU/CSU WAN interface card extends Cisco's commitment to provide customers with maximum flexibility and investment protection through modular WAN interface cards that are supported on award-winning router platforms. When WAN bandwidth requirements or service provider pricing change, users can easily change WAN services either by changing software configuration or replacing the WAN interface card. Because the same card can be used on Cisco 1600 and 3600 router platforms, the number of stocking units can be reduced, and the WAN interface card can be redeployed from one platform to another.

Single-Vendor Support

Because the DSU/CSU plays an equally critical role as the router in ensuring WAN connectivity, many customers feel that it is important to have a support contract for both. However, if the router and DSU/CSU are from different vendors, it can be inconvenient to manage support contracts from multiple vendors. Further, when you need service and support, it is difficult to pin-point a problem when phone calls have to be made to different vendors.

Cisco Systems provides single-vendor support for its routers, integrated DSU/CSUs, and other network equipment. With its dedication to reliable support and customer satisfaction, Cisco offers a wide range of support programs to meet your business needs, including onsite support. A single phone call to a single vendor: Cisco takes full ownership of support when needed.

Enhanced Reliability

An integrated solution has fewer components and hence fewer points of failure (for example, an integrated solution has one less power supply and uses fewer cables). This leads to enhanced reliability.
