When You Use It

 

 

 

Cisco VIC

 

To make a voice connection, the router must have a supported VIC

 

 

installed. The router supports up to three cards. You can either order

 

 

the cards when ordering the router, and they will be installed for

 

 

you, or you can order the cards separately, after receiving the router,

 

 

and install them yourself.

 

 

Straight-through

This cable connects the router to the Ethernet LAN and the WICs to

RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable

various WAN services, including ISDN, T1/FT1, and 56-kbps

 

 

services. You will need one cable for each of these connections.

 

 

Standard RJ-11 telephone

This cable connects the VIC to a telephone, fax machine, or a

cable

 

telephone wall-jack. You will need one cable for each of these

 

 

connections.

 

 

Standard RJ-48 telephone

This cable connects the VIC to a PBX trunk line. You will need one

cable

 

cable for each of these connections.

 

 

Serial cable

This cable connects a serial card to serial services. You must order

 

 

this cable from Cisco. For detailed information about serial cable

 

 

types, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware

 

 

Installation Guide that comes with every card.

 

 

 

NT1

 

Some ISDN service providers require a Network Termination 1

 

 

device to connect an ISDN S/T port to the ISDN line.

 

 

Asynchronous modem

To configure the router from a remote location, connect a modem to
