Serial High-Speed WAN Interface Cards
1- and 2-Port Serial HWICs
The 1-port serial HWIC (HWIC-1SER), shown in 
, and the 2-port serial HWIC (HWIC-2SER), 
shown in 
, provide an EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, X.21, data terminal equipment/data 
communications equipment (DTE/DCE), EIA-530 DTE, or nonreturn to zero/nonreturn to zero inverted 
(NRZ/NRZI) serial interface to a Cisco modular router.

Serial WAN Interface Card LEDs
Each serial HWIC has one LED, labeled CONN, which lights when one or both serial ports are 
connected. When the port is in DTE mode, the CONN LED indicates that Data Send Ready (DSR), Data 
Carrier Detect (DCD), and Clear To Send (CTS) signals have been detected. When the port is in DCE 
mode, it indicates that Data Terminal Ready (DTR) and Ready To Send (RTS) signals have been 
detected. The functions of the LEDs are described in
