2SA (2-Port Synchronous/Asynchronous WAN Interface Card)
Card Overview
The 2SA is an enhanced high-speed synchronous/asynchronous serial interface module. It can work in synchronous or asynchronous mode, and often uses the synchronous mode to connect to a WAN.
A 2SA card can be installed in a SIC slot of a router.
Figure 7-105 shows the appearance of a 2SA card.

Table 7-241 lists the device models and software versions supporting the 2SA.
Functions and Features
Table 7-242 describes the functions and features of a 2SA card.
Function and Feature |
Description |
---|---|
Synchronous mode |
Uses a synchronous serial interface to connect to a WAN. |
A synchronous serial interface can function as a DCE or DTE and supports multiple physical layer protocols, such as V.24, V.35, and X.21. It does not support the X.21 DCE mode. |
|
The maximum rate of V.24 is 64 kbit/s, and the maximum rate of V.35 is 2.048 Mbit/s. |
|
Supports link layer protocols PPP, FR, and HDLC. |
|
Supports the IP protocol. |
|
Asynchronous mode |
An asynchronous serial interface supports the RS232 protocol and provides a maximum transmission rate of 115.2 kbit/s. |
An asynchronous serial interface works in protocol or flow mode. |
|
Supports the PPP and IP protocols in protocol mode. |
|
Does not support the PPP or IP protocol in flow mode. |

Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 |
STAT |
Green |
Slow blinking: The system is running properly. Fast blinking: The system is being powered on or restarting. |
Red |
Steady on: A fault that affects services has occurred and cannot be rectified automatically. The fault needs to be rectified manually. |
||
Off |
The system software is not running or is resetting. |

2 and 3 |
SA interface indicators:
|
Green |
LINK indicator steady on: A link has been established on the interface. |
LINK indicator off: No link is established on the interface. |
|||
Yellow |
ACT indicator blinking: Data is being transmitted or received on the interface. |
||
ACT indicator off: No data is being transmitted or received on the interface. |
Figure 7-107 shows the interfaces on a 2SA card.
