Overview.
A maximum of 2 serial interface modules are supported on the Cisco ASR 903 Router.
The serial interface module hardware supports a 230.4 Kbps traffic rate in asynchronous mode. The
actual speed is dependent on cable quality and length. The serial interface module hardware supports
an 8 Mbps traffic rate in synchronous mode. The actual speed is dependent on cable quality and
length.
Raw Socket encapsulation is supported on up to 28 serial ports.
Asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial traffic is supported with DB-25, DB-9, and RJ-45 connectors.
The X.21, V.35, RS-485, EIA-449, EIA-530, and IRIG-B standards are not currently supported by
software.
Synchronous traffic is not currently supported.
Circuit Emulation Service over Packet Switched Network (CESoPSN) over MPLS, and
Structure-Agnostic Time Division Multiplexing over Packet (SAToP) over MPLS networks for T1,
E1, SDH and SONET framing is supported.
Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) over MPLS; PVC and PVC sessions are supported for the
ATM (IMA).
