-
- Yes, the HSSI interface is shipping! It has been fully supported since
- Software Release 8.3(1).
-
- The HSSI interface is compatible with all AGS+/3 and AGS+/4 chassis running
- SW 8.3 or 9.0. It also requires a cBus controller card (CSC-CCTL). To order
- the HSSI interface, you will need the interface card itself (CSC-HSCI) and
- the HSSI applique (APP-LHS). The list prices for the CSC-HSCI is $4,000,
- and the APP-LHS is $2,000. If you do not already have a cBus controller, the
- list price for the CSC-CCTL is $2,200.
-
- The HSSI interface is designed to support interface speeds up to 52 mbps,
- which is sufficient to support T3/DS3 (45mbps) rates.
-
- Please let me know if you have any more questions. Sincerely,
-
- -Peter Corless.
