Cisco 8-Port T1-E1 MPSM for the Cisco MGX 8800 Series Switches [Cisco MGX 8200 Series Edge Concentrators]

DATA SHEET

The Cisco® 8-Port T1/E1 Multiprotocol Service Module (MPSM) is an 8-port T1 or E1, single-height service module for use in the Cisco MGX® 8800 Series switches and the Cisco MGX 8200 Series edge concentrators. The MPSM delivers connectivity from DS-0 to T1/E1 speeds. It supports the same functions as the 8-port Frame Relay service modules (FRSMs), ATM user service modules (AUSMs), and Circuit Emulation service modules (CESMs) currently deployed and is meant to be a replacement for these cards. The new service module also supports additional features listed in the following section.

PRIMARY FEATURES

• Any-service any-card (ASAC) function, which reduces operation and deployment costs because one MPSM card can act as a FRSM, AUSM, or CESM

• Built-in bit-error-rate-test (BERT) testing

• Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) 1.0 and IMA 1.1 along with IMA Restart capability

• Support for multiple ATM frame sizes from 32 to 256 bytes

• Independent Transport Clock (ITC) and Common Transmit Clocking (CTC) clocking modes

• Support for FRF 8.1 Frame Relay-to-ATM service interworking

• Mixed-mode 1:N redundancy support to ease sparing requirements

• Hitless replacement and upgrade for current 8-port FRSM, AUSM, and CESM service modules*

Not fully compatible with MGX-CESM-8T1/B.
