Cisco Third-Generation 1-, 2-, and 4-Port T1/E1 Multiflex Trunk

Voice/WAN Interface Cards

These flexible interface cards support multiple integrated data, voice and video applications, facilitating the

migration from data only as well as circuit-switched voice/video services to a packet voice/video solution

Introduction

The Cisco

Third-generation 1-, 2-port and 4-port T1/E1 Multiflex Trunk Voice/WAN Interface (MFT VWIC3s) support

data and voice applications on the Cisco 1921, 1941 and 1941W (data only), and the Cisco 2901, 2911, 2921, 2951,

3925, 3945, 3925E and 3945E Integrated Services Routers. The Cisco MFT VWIC3 combines WAN-interface-card

(WIC) and voice-interface-card (VIC) functions to provide unparalleled flexibility, versatility, and investment

protection through its many uses. Customers who choose to integrate data and voice in multiple steps preserve their

investment in a T1/E1 WAN interface because the Cisco MFT VWIC3 cards can be reused in packet voice

applications. The 2 port T1/E1 MFT VWIC3 is shown below.

Figure 1. Cisco 1-,2- and 4-Port T1/E1 MFT VWIC3

The Cisco MFT VWIC3 interface cards add improvements over the Cisco Second-generation 1- and 2-port T1/E1

Multiflex Voice/WAN Interface Cards (MFT VWIC2s). The Cisco 2- and 4-port MFT VWIC3s enable each port to be

clocked from an independent clock source for data applications. Voice applications can now be clocked

independently from data applications, with all ports for voice applications clocked from a single source. The Cisco

MFT VWIC3s use the ECAN on the motherboard PVDM cards with up to 128ms echo-tail length for demanding

network conditions. MFT VWIC3 cards support up to 2 channel groups per T1/E1 port for serial data applications.

Refer to Table 3 for all configuration options offered with the MFT VWIC3 cards.

The Cisco MFT VWIC3 cards can be inserted into the EHWIC slot on the supported Cisco 1921, 1941, 1941W,

2901, 2911, 2921, 2951, 3925, 3945, 3925E and 3945E integrated services routers. The T1/E1 MFT VWIC3 cards

support both T1 and E1, providing additional flexibility in configuring the Cisco MFT VWIC3s for supporting T1,

fractional T1, E1, and fractional E1 for both voice and WAN applications. All MFT VWIC3 modules include the drop-

and-insert multiplexing capability, which eliminates costly external third-party channel service units/data service units

(CSUs/DSUs) and drop-and-insert multiplexers.

Data Sheet The Cisco MFT VWIC3 cards are offered in single-, dual- and quadruple-port versions, which can be used and then redeployed as network requirements change, thereby addressing several applications: ● T1/E1 data: The Cisco 1-, 2- and 4-port T1/E1 MFT VWIC3 versions act as a WIC, supporting T1, fractional T1, E1, (including structured G.703 with G.704 framing), fractional E1, and E1structured G.703 applications.

Data Sheet ● Offers easy migration to bandwidth-efficient packet voice, enabling new services Customers can choose to integrate data and voice in stages to preserve their investment in WAN interfaces. For example, the Cisco MFT VWIC3 can support data-only applications as a WAN interface, and then be reused to integrate data and voice with the drop-and-insert multiplexer function or configured to support packetized voice (voice over IP [VoIP] or voice over Frame Relay [VoFR]).

Data Sheet is for data and voice sharing of a T1 or E1 service, the drop-and-insert capability also can be used for video and data, or data and data sharing of the service. Moreover, the integrated drop-and-insert capability enhances system availability by allowing the Cisco IOS Software to be reloaded while maintaining TDM switching. Figure 2.
