Figure 53 Compression and Congestion Window

The Compression and Congestion window allows you to enable data compression on each

interface. Data compression allows the size of the data being sent on a WAN link to be minimized,

making the WAN link more efﬁcient. To use data compression, the CSX400 must ﬁrst be fully

conﬁgured and connected to a live WAN link, and compression must be conﬁgured on any remote

WAN device(s). Using software compression, the CSX400 supports up to four DS0s (256 Kbps)

per WPIM. With the optional hardware compression module installed, the CSX400 supports data

compression on all DS0s, which is equivalent to two full T1 lines. For more information on the

hardware data compression module (CSX-COMP/ENCR) refer to Chapter 2,
