Chapter 2 Updates

The information in this section supplements or corrects the information in Chapter 2, "Installing WAN and Voice Interface Cards in Cisco Modular Routers."

Installing a WAN or Voice Interface Card in a Cisco 1700 Series or Cisco 1600 Series Router

This section replaces the "Installing a WAN Interface Card in a Cisco 1700 Series or Cisco 1600 Series Router" section.

This section describes how to install a WAN interface card (WIC) and voice interface card (VIC) in a Cisco 1700 series router or Cisco 1600 series router.

To install a WAN interface card in a Cisco 3600 series or Cisco 2600 series router, see the "Installing a Network Module in a Cisco 3600 Series or Cisco 2600 Series Router" section or the "Before Installing a Voice Interface Card" section in Chapter 2.

The Cisco 1700 series routers have two slots for installing WAN interface cards. On the Cisco 1720 routers, the slots numbered WIC0 are on the left, and the slots numbered WIC1 are on the right. (See Figure 2-6.) On the Cisco 1750 routers, the slots numbered WIC/VIC0 are on the bottom and WIC/VIC1 are on the top. (See Figure 2-7.) In addition, the Cisco 1750 routers have a VIC-only slot 2 on the top right. (See Figure 2-7.)

If you are installing a single WAN interface card in a Cisco 1720 router, install the card in the WIC0 slot. A single card installed in WIC1 could affect your router configuration.

If you are installing a WAN interface card on the Cisco 1750 router, you can install the card in either WIC/VIC slot 0 or WIC/VIC slot 1.

Figure 2-7:
WAN and Voice Interface Card Slots in the Cisco 1750 Routers



TimeSaver You can install WAN and voice interface cards either before or after mounting the router, whichever is more convenient.


Caution   WAN and voice interface cards do not support online insertion and removal (hot swapping). Before inserting a WAN or voice interface card into the router chassis, you must turn off electrical power and disconnect network cables.

Inserting the Card in the Router


Note   The figures in this section show a Cisco 1600 series router, but the installation sequence described applies to both the Cisco 1600 series and Cisco 1700 series routers.

Follow this procedure to install the WAN or voice interface card in the router:


Step 1   On the Cisco 1700 series routers, turn off power to the router and disconnect the power cable from the power socket on the rear panel.

On Cisco 1600 series router, turn off power to the router. However, to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not unplug the power cable.

Step 2   Remove all network interface cables, including telephone cables, from the rear panel.

Step 3   Use either a number-2 Phillips screwdriver or a small flat-blade screwdriver to remove the filler panel from the WAN interface card slot. (See Figure 2-8.) Save the filler panel for future use.


Figure 2-8: Removing the WAN Interface Card Slot Filler Panel


Step 4   Align the card with the guides and slide it gently into the WAN interface card slot. (See Figure 2-9.)


Figure 2-9: Inserting a WAN Interface Card


Step 5   Push the card into place until you feel its edge connector mate securely with the connector in the router chassis.

Step 6   Fasten the card captive mounting screws into the chassis by using the Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.

Step 7   If the router was previously running, reinstall the network interface cables, and turn on power to the router.

After installing the WAN interface card into the router, proceed to Chapter 3, "Connecting WAN and Voice Interface Cards to a Network."


Chapter 3 Updates

The information in this section supplements the information in Chapter 3, "Connecting WAN and Voice Interface Cards to a Network." The following sections are updated:

1-Port ADSL Cards

The 1-port digital subscriber line (DSL) WAN interface cards support one Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) line between a single customer premises equipment (CPE) subscriber and the central office.


Note   The ADSL WAN interface card can be used with NM-FE2W, NM-1FE1R-2W, 2W, and 2FE2W network modules. ADSL WICs will not work in older combo network modules.

Connecting an ADSL Card to the Network

Use a straight-through RJ-11 cable for this connection.


Note   The port on this interface card is color-coded lavender.


Note   If you are connecting a DSL card to an RJ-11 wall jack that has the DSL pair wired for pins 2 and 5, you must use an RJ-11 craossover cable (lavender with blue stripe). The RJ-11 crossover cable is orderable separately as a spare.

Complete the following steps to connect a 1-port ADSL card to the network.


Step 1   Confirm that the router is still turned off.

Step 2   Connect one end of the cable to the ADSL port on the card.

Step 3   Connect the other end to the wall jack (RJ-11) at your site, as shown in Figure 3-22.


Figure 3-22: Connecting an ADSL Card to the Wall Jack


Step 4   Turn on power to the router.

Step 5   To connect the card to the network, you must configure the ADSL card in the router to the no shutdown state. Enter the no shut command in the router configuration. Check that the CD LED goes on, indicating that the card is connected to the network.


ADSL WAN Interface Card LEDs

The ADSL cards have three LEDs, which are shown in Figure 3-23 and described in Table 3-6.

If you have additional cards to install, proceed to the appropriate sections in this manual. When you have finished all installations, see the software configuration guide that shipped with your hardware.

Grounding Requirements for Voice Interface Cards

This information is added to the "Voice Interface Cards" section.

The VIC-2DID card is suitable for exposed plant lead connection. However, it requires the host router chassis to have a permanent protective earth connection. Make sure that a permanent earth connection is in place before installing the card. A grounding kit is provided with each voice network module and with each chassis configured with voice network modules. Install the kit in accordance with the guide, Installing the Grounding Lug on Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 Series Routers.

If you find a router chassis without a permanent earth connection and yourself without a grounding kit, take one of the following actions:

2-Port ISDN BRI Card

This section replaces the "2-Port ISDN BRI Card" subsection in the "Voice Interface Cards" section.

There are two 2-Port ISDN BRI voice interface cards for the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series routers.

The ISDN BRI S/T voice interface card provides a client-side (TE) ISDN S/T physical interface for connection to an NT1 terminating an ISDN telephone network. Each of its two ports can carry two voice calls (one over each ISDN B channel), for a total of four calls per ISDN BRI card.

The ISDN BRI NT/TE voice interface card has the same capabilities as the S/T card, but can also be configured to provide a network termination (NT) interface with phantom power.

The card is illustrated in Figure 3-31.


Figure 3-31: 2-Port ISDN BRI Card Front Panel


ISDN BRI Card Considerations

To use all four voice channels, you must install the ISDN BRI card in slot 0 of a two-slot voice network module (Cisco part number NM-2V). Slot 1 should remain empty.


Note   If slot 0 is unoccupied, the system treats it as a pair of analog voice ports.

If you install any of the following configurations, the Cisco IOS software disables certain ports, as shown in Table 3-8:

Connecting the Two-Port ISDN BRI Card

Use the straight-through RJ-48C cable to connect the two-port ISDN BRI card to the ISDN network through a telephone wall outlet or other device.


Caution   To prevent damage to the router, be sure to connect the BRI cable to the BRI connector only, and not to any other RJ-48C connector.

To connect the two-port ISDN BRI card to the router, follow these steps:


Step 1   Confirm that the router is still turned off.

Step 2   Connect one end of a straight-through RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C cable to the card RJ-48C port. (See Figure 3-32.)


Figure 3-32: Connecting the 2-Port ISDN BRI Card



Note   When the interface is configured as NT and is connecting to a TE device, the cable must have the transmit and receive pins swapped (crossover cable). (See Table 3-9.)
