Setting up lab - WIC question

jhubert

I purchased a couple of 2611's and a 2620 on ebay. The 2620 came with a WIC 2A/S card with the smart serial connections, the 2611's didn't come with any WIC cards. I ordered WIC cards for the 2611's and noticed that I puchased WIC 2T cards. What is the difference between the 2T and the 2A/S ? Will I be okay connecting from a WIC 2T to a WIC 2A/S? They appear to be the same.

they both are smart serial so i do not think you should have issues

The WIC-2T can support one port at speeds up to 8Mbps or both ports at speeds up to 4Mbps (on the 2611)

The WIC-2A/S can do a max of 115.2 Kbps Asynchronous and 128 Kbps Synchronous.

To hook them together back-to-back you'd set the clock rate to run at a common speed supported by both. Just do a clock rate ? under the interface configuration on both sides of the connection and see what your common values are -- then set it on the DCE end of the cable.

I should be fine for my lab setup then.
Thanks for the quick responses.
