One- and two-port analog modem WAN interface cards (WICs; part numbers WIC-1AM-V2 and WIC-2AM-V2) are now available for the award-winning Cisco® 1800, 2600XM, 2691, 2800, 3700, and 3800 Series modular router platforms. The new version of these cards expands the already extensive range of WICs currently available for these routers (Figure 1). The interface cards provide cost-effective basic telephone service connectivity to allow remote router management, asynchronous dial-on-demand routing (DDR) and dial backup, dial- and fax-out modem access, and low-density remote-access-server (RAS) services. Combined with the differentiated services delivered through Cisco IOS® Software, the Cisco 1800, 2600XM, 2691, 2800, 3700, and 3800 Series routers offer customers
best-of-breed scalability, flexibility, and investment protection-all in cost-effective, multifunctional platforms.

KEY BENEFITS

• An integrated solution for ease of deployment and management

• Enhanced remote management capabilities

• A cost-effective alternative to leased lines or ISDN

• On-demand dial backup for critical WAN links

KEY FEATURES

• Internal analog modem dialup capability-Internal modems allow simple setup of a remote router. There is no separate external power and no cables, and everything is in one chassis.

• Support for speeds up to 56K (V.92 specification)-When dialing out to a digital endpoint, this feature allows users to achieve maximum data transfer rates, equating to faster file transfers, speedier Web access, and faster e-mail downloads.

• Cisco IOS Dial Access Software-Cisco IOS Software provides a broad range of features for remote router management and dial backup, including:

–Reverse Telnet support for LAN-based dial- and fax-out

–Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Multilink PPP (MLPPP), and Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP)

–TACACS+, RADIUS, and PPP password security

–Autosensing Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), Transmission Control Protocol/IP (TCP/IP), AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA), and AppleTalk Control Protocol (ATCP)
