The Cisco VWIC-2MFT-T1-DIR and VWIC-2MFT-E1-DIR Voice/WAN Interface Cards support data
applications on the Cisco MWR 1941-DC Mobile Wireless Edge Router for T1/E1 networks. These
cards are dual-port, T1/Fractional T1 or E1/Fractional E1, Drop and Insert Multiplexers with integrated
T1 CSU/DSUs or E1 DSUs. The T1 version supports framed and unframed traffic, and the E1 version
supports framed traffic and unframed traffic that conforms to the ITU-T G.703 standard for full 2.048
Mbps bandwidth.

The Drop and Insert multiplexer diverts (drops) streams of an aggregate Time Division Multiplexed
(TDM) traffic stream, and introduces (inserts) different streams for transmission in the time slots that
were previously occupied by the dropped streams. Each VWIC supports a limited channelized capability
where the T1 or E1 can be flexibly split into two fractional channel groups, one on each port or two on
one port. The switching operation can be maintained through router restarts and reloads of Cisco IOS
software.

Each card also features protection switch solid state relays on the line interfaces, which together with
redundancy logic and relay control added in a Cisco IOS feature set on the MWR 1941-DC router, can
be used to provide T1/E1 Protection Switching between redundant routers in applicable
implementations.

Note For information on the Cisco MWR 1941-DC router implementations and Cisco IOS software available

for those implementations, see the Cisco MWR 1941-DC Mobile Wireless Edge Router Software
Configuration Guide.

The Cisco MWR 1941-DC router provides three WAN interface slots, which allows support for 6
T1/E1s.

Physical Characteristics of the VWIC-2MFT-T1-DIR, VWIC-2MFT-E1-DIR

Each T1/E1 Multiflex VWIC provides two RJ-48C interfaces. You can distinguish between T1 and E1
Drop and Insert interface cards by the labeling on the faceplate, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Note The labeling under the port and on the lower left of the card indicates whether it is a T1 or E1 card. Also,

due to limited space, the last dash was omitted from the label on the card (VWIC-2MFT-E1DIR and
VWIC-2MFT-T1DIR).
