Overview
The Cisco SM-32A module enhances the capabilities of Cisco 2900 and Cisco 3900 series routers by adding 32 asynchronous EIA-232 ports. This expansion is particularly valuable for organizations requiring high-density serial connections for equipment such as modems, switches, and routers. Its design adheres to a single wide form factor, measuring 1.58 inches in height, 7.44 inches in width, and 7.5 inches in depth, ensuring it fits seamlessly into compatible Cisco routers without requiring excessive space.
Each of the 32 ports supports an asynchronous maximum speed of 230.4 kbps, facilitating efficient data transfer rates for connected devices. Despite its lack of synchronous support, the module compensates with bisync support, allowing for versatile serial communication options. The high-density 8-port connector type optimizes space and connectivity, making it easier to manage multiple connections in a compact environment.
The module's compatibility with various serial protocols, specifically EIA-232, alongside its ability to perform lead manipulation, highlights its adaptability in different networking scenarios. However, it does not support network clock synchronization, which may limit its use in applications requiring precisely timed data transfers.
In terms of environmental tolerance, the Cisco SM-32A is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 70 °C. Its humidity tolerance ranges from 10% to 90% noncondensing, ensuring reliable performance in diverse operating conditions.
The module adheres to several immunity and emission standards, including EN300386, EN55024/CISPR24, and FCC Part 15 Class A, among others. These certifications signify its ability to operate within regulated safety and environmental guidelines, minimizing electromagnetic interference and ensuring user safety.
Key features include:
- WAN aggregation support, enabling the consolidation of multiple network connections into a single, more efficient connection.
- Traffic transport across a TCP/IP network, allowing for the seamless integration of serial devices into modern IP-based networks.
- Support for Cisco IOS software, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network configurations and facilitating easy management and configuration through a familiar interface.
The Cisco SM-32A module also supports specific cables, including the 8-Port EIA-232 Asynchronous Cable and the 8-Port Asynchronous Cable with 8 DB-25 Modem Connectors, ensuring users have the necessary tools for immediate deployment.
Overall, the Cisco SM-32A module presents a practical solution for expanding the connectivity options of Cisco 2900 and 3900 series routers. Its focus on high-density asynchronous connections, combined with support for bisync and a range of environmental and safety standards, makes it a suitable choice for organizations looking to integrate a variety of serial devices into their network infrastructure.
