Cisco 3725 Max Serial Ports? WIC-2T in every slot?

Question: How many T1's can a Cisco 3725 support? If I get WIC-2T's for the three WIC ports and NM-2W modules with 2 WIC-2T's in each I count 14 synchronous serial connections possible. ie 14 T1's. Am I way off base here?

Also, what type of CSU/DSU would be suggested to handle that man Serial connections? rack mounted with at least four port or so?

cheers,

Paul

That's accurate, although instead of 2 WIC-2Ts in the NM-2W mods you could just go for the NM-4T which provides 4 DB60 in the NM. See

As for CSU/DSU's that are rackmountable, check with Kentrox, Adtran, or Alcatel. I believe all have rack-mount CSU/DSUs.

My goodness. That means that's ALOT of T1's I can fit in that Cisco router.. :) Can the CPU handle 14 Serial ports?

cheers,
