Figure 53 Compression and Congestion Window
The Compression and Congestion window allows you to enable data compression on each
interface. Data compression allows the size of the data being sent on a WAN link to be minimized,
making the WAN link more efficient. To use data compression, the CSX400 must first be fully
configured and connected to a live WAN link, and compression must be configured on any remote
WAN device(s). Using software compression, the CSX400 supports up to four DS0s (256 Kbps)
per WPIM. With the optional hardware compression module installed, the CSX400 supports data
compression on all DS0s, which is equivalent to two full T1 lines. For more information on the
hardware data compression module (CSX-COMP/ENCR) refer to
