WIC for frame relay 1

[PhoneTechMan]

Question: Can a WIC-1DSU-T1 be configured for a frame relay circuit? I ask as I have two spares, and we've just brought in a frame circuit for a service from one of our vendors, and I'm trying not to spend the money for a new WIC if I don't have to.
Thanks In Advance.

Shouldn't be a problem to run Frame Relay on that card. Just need to make sure you can run it on your platform and IOS.

The WIC is installed in a 2621, IOS is 12.2, any issues there? And could you be kind enough to provide me a example of what configuration of frame relay should look like on the WIC? I'm a newbie when it comes to frame relay.
Thanks In Advance

Sample Frame Relay PVC config is as follows for this card:

Interface serial 0/0
service-module t1 clock source line
service-module t1 timeslots 1-24 speed 64
service-module t1 framing esf
service-module t1 linecode b8zs
encapsulation frame-relay IETF
interface Serial0/0.32 point-to-point
bandwidth 1536
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
frame-relay interface-dlci 32 IETF

Thanks, this is exactly what I need. I appreciate the help.

FYI...

Be advised, that if you should decide to upgrade platforms, to say a 2800 series router, the above mentioned WIC card may not work. Only the newer WIC-1DSU-T1 V2 cards will work on the 2800 series platform.

Yes, I'm aware that you need a V2 WIC for the 2800 series. We have two that we're currently using. Thanks.
