Product Features
Technical Overview
This interface module operates as a Serial Interface Card (SIC) specifically built for the HPE Comware MSR router platform. It provides four independent serial ports, each configurable for asynchronous or synchronous operation, supporting data rates and protocols typical for serial WAN connections, terminal servers, and industrial networking applications.
The module's enhanced sync capabilities ensure stable clock synchronization and data integrity across synchronous serial links, reducing transmission errors and improving network reliability. Its design prioritizes interoperability with existing serial infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with the HP MSR router's management and configuration frameworks.
Key Product Advantages
The HPE JG737A module offers distinct advantages for network administrators requiring robust serial connectivity. Its dual-mode port functionality eliminates the need for separate modules for asynchronous and synchronous applications, simplifying inventory and reducing deployment complexity.
Flexible Port Configuration
Each of the four serial ports can be independently configured for asynchronous or synchronous operation, allowing mixed-use scenarios within a single module.
- Supports legacy async devices
- Enables sync WAN links
- Reduces module variety needs
Enhanced Synchronization

FAQ
What routers is the HPE JG737A module compatible with?
The HPE JG737A module is specifically designed for compatibility with HP MSR Series routers. It integrates as a Serial Interface Card (SIC) within these routers, supporting their management systems and physical slot requirements. This ensures reliable operation and configuration through the router's native interfaces.
Can the serial ports operate in both asynchronous and synchronous modes?
Yes, each of the four serial ports on the HPE JG737A module can be independently configured for either asynchronous or synchronous operation. This flexibility allows network administrators to support mixed environments, such as connecting legacy async devices while maintaining sync WAN links, all within a single module.
What are typical use cases for this serial SIC module?
Common use cases include integrating legacy serial devices like industrial control systems, terminals, or point-of-sale equipment into IP networks via HP MSR routers. It also supports WAN connectivity through synchronous serial links for leased lines or frame relay, and provides async ports for console access or modem connections in diverse networking scenarios.
