Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)T
Low-Density Analog RAS Access
In this application, the V.90 modem WIC enables the platform to provide the services of a typical small
remote access server (RAS). One service allows remote users to dial in and gain access to resources on
the LAN (or even across the WAN). The analog modems in the modem WIC allow dial-in connection
speeds of up to 33.6 kbps, but MLP can bind multiple links together and increase the throughput.
Another service allows PCs (running Cisco DialOut Utility) on the LAN to use the modems for dial-out.
Users can connect to other modems (bulletin boards, AOL, ISPs, and so on) or fax machines. The modem
WIC allows dial-out connection speeds of up to 56 kbps when dialing a digital V.90 server modem or up
to 33.6 kbps when dialing another analog modem. Fax calls connect at up to 14.4 kbps.
Typical RAS deployments with the V.90 modem WIC use the 2-port modem version. With enough slots,
the V.90 modem WIC can be used to scale to up to 24 modems.
There is no limit for lines in the MLP bundle with WICs and population of WICs on any Cisco2600
series or Cisco 3600 series multiservices platforms.
