The currently shipping four-port DS3 ATM PAM, WAI-T3-4BNC, has all functionality of the existing two-port DS3 version, plus:

Two additional DS3 ATM ports (BNC connectors)

Network clocking—not available on the current WAI-T3-2BNC (two-port DS3) product

The four-port E3 ATM PAM, WAI-E3-4BNC, will ship with the second maintenance release of SW-WAS3-11.2.(X), planned for August 1997. WAI-E3-4BNC will have the same additional functionality as the WAI-T3-4BNC module.

Software will continue to be available for the WAI-T3-2BNC and WAI-E3-2BNC through the Cisco IOS for ATM software SW-WAS3-11.2.(X) releases.

The term end of sales refers to the time when a product is no longer available for new system purchases. This term does not, however, apply to the service and support programs for the same product. Cisco will continue to support both the WAI-T3-2BNC and WAI-E3-2BNC after the end of sales through the SMARTnet and Comprehensive Maintenance programs. Customers with either of these service contracts are entitled to:

Free software upgrades through all maintenance releases of Cisco IOS Version 11.2.(X)

24-hour phone support through the Technical Assistance Center

Advanced replacement of hardware for repairs

Comprehensive Maintenance customers also receive onsite service. Customers who do not have a maintenance contract can purchase software updates and hardware repair services from Cisco to meet specific requirements rather than full service coverage. Cisco is committed to supporting these systems for a period of five years after the end-of-sales date.
