Introduction to the Cisco 3200 Series Routers
The Cisco 3200 Series routers provides industry-standard network software features that run on
ruggedized hardware, suitable for harsh environments. A router includes a combination of mobile
interface cards and a Cisco 3200 Rugged Enclosure. The following major components are available from
Cisco:
• Cisco 3200 Rugged Enclosures
• Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card
• Mobile Access Router Card (MARC)
• Fast Ethernet Switch Mobile Interface Cards (FESMICs)
• Serial Mobile Interface Cards (SMICs)
• Wireless Mobile Interface Cards (WMICs)
This document describes the Cisco cards and the enclosure solutions that are used to assemble
Cisco 3200 Series routers. A router can be purchased as a complete unit or purchased in part from Cisco
and assembled by a qualified system integrator (SI) as a custom solution. For example, a qualified SI
might assemble cards into a custom enclosure to suit a particular environment. Custom solutions based
on Cisco cards must include a power source, cables, and an enclosure. For information about the specific
hardware configuration of your router, contact your SI.
