Preparing to Connect to a Network

• Synchronous interface—Maximum baud rate is 128 kbps, full-duplex.

ISDN BRI Connections

The BRI WICs provide Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI)

connections. BRI WICs are available with either an S/T interface that requires an external Network

Termination 1 (NT1), or a U interface that has a built-in NT1. You can install the BRI WICs in any

available WIC slots in the chassis.

Warning

The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that should be inaccessible to user contact.

Do not attempt to tamper with or open any public telephone operator (PTO)-provided equipment or

connection hardware. Any hardwired connection (other than by a nonremovable,

connect-one-time-only plug) must be made only by PTO staff or suitably trained engineers.

Statement 23

Warning

Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF

or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,

detach the end away from the unit first.

Statement 1026

Use a BRI cable (not included) to connect the BRI WIC directly to an ISDN. Tabl e 3-3 lists the

specifications for ISDN BRI cables. For information about pinouts, refer to the Cisco Modular Access

Router Cable Specifications online document, which is located on Cisco.com.

For more information on BRI WICs, refer to Cisco.com.

CSU/DSU Connections

CSU/DSU WICs are available that provide switched 56-kbps connections, or full or fractionalized T1

connections.

For more information on CSU/DSU WICs, refer to Cisco.com.
