Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, Figure 1-3, and Figure 1-4 shows the rear panels of the Cisco 2520/CPA2520,
Cisco 2521/CPA2521, Cisco 2522/CPA2522, and Cisco 2523/CPA2523 routers, respectively.
The multiport serial routers function not only as multiprotocol routers but also as communication servers
(see Figure 1-1) for telecommuting services. The multiport serial routers offer high-speed synchronous
serial lines for T1 connections, and low-speed asynchronous/synchronous serial lines to attach terminal
equipment such as a channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU).
Figure 1-1 through Figure 1-4 show the rear panels of the multiport serial routers.
