SMART INTERFACE CARDS
MSR series routers adopt modular design and support a wide range of optional
smart interface cards (SICs) and double smart interface cards (DSICs). A SIC
interface card occupies one SIC slot of an MSR router and a DSIC interface card
occupies two SIC slots of a router. The SIC/DSIC series interface cards provide
abundant interfaces, such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, Ethernet
interface, E1/T1, ISDN BRI/PRI, ADSL, audio interface, Layer 2 switching interface,
and so on.
Among this series interface cards, the Layer 2 switching interface cards (SIC-4FSW
and DSIC-9FSW) each have a corresponding PoE-capable one, which can provide
-48 VDC power to remote powered devices (PDs, such as IP phone, WLAN AP,
network camera) through straight-through cables as long as installed in a PoE
router.
n
For H3C MSR 20-40 and MSR 30 and 50 series routers which have four SIC slots, a
4FSW/1FEF/1FEA/1GEC/1ADSL/1ADSL-I interface card can only be installed in slot
2 or slot 4.
SIC-1FEA
Introduction 1-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface card (SIC-1FEA), in which FE
stands for Fast Ethernet and A is used to differentiate SIC-1FEA from the 1FE
module. SIC-1FEA is used to implement the communication between Routers and
LANs. It supports:
Effective transmission distance of 100 meters with category-5 twisted pair
cables;
Operating speeds of both 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps and autosensing;
Both full duplex (in common use) and half-duplex operating modes.
n
For H3C MSR 20-40 and MSR 30/50 series routers, a SIC-1FEA interface card can
only be installed in SLOT2 or SLOT4.
