Overview

The Cisco NIM-24A is a high-density terminal server module designed to enhance the capabilities of Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs), including models 4221, 4321, 4331, 4351, 4431, and 4451. This module expands the functionality of these routers by providing 24 RS-232 ports, facilitating up to 200 terminal server connections. This makes it an ideal solution for applications requiring flexible access to EIA-232 ports across both local and wide area networks. Key features of the Cisco NIM-24A include: - Support for a maximum of 200 terminal server connections, enabling extensive networking capabilities. - Compatibility with a broad range of Cisco ISRs, specifically the 4000 series, ensuring a seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. - A requirement for a minimum Cisco IOS Software Release of 16.3.1 and support for the IP Base feature set and higher, providing the necessary software foundation for efficient operation and advanced features. The module does not support Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), focusing instead on delivering high-density connectivity solutions. The Cisco NIM-24A utilizes an octal cable for connectivity, with each cable supporting 8 ports, thus requiring three cables to utilize all 24 ports fully. Physical dimensions of the Cisco NIM-24A are as follows: a height of 1.25 inches, a width of 3.5 inches, and a depth of 6.7 inches. This compact size allows for efficient use of space within the router chassis. The module operates effectively within a temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 65 °C. Humidity levels are maintained between 10% (noncondensing) and 90% (noncondensing) for both operating and storage conditions, ensuring durability and reliability in various environments. Regarding regulatory compliance and emissions, the Cisco NIM-24A adheres to multiple international standards, including CAN/CSA, EN, UL, IEC for safety, and FCC, ICES-003, EN55032, CISPR32, AS/NZS CISPR32, VCCI, and EN 300386 for emissions. This compliance underscores the module's ability to meet global operational standards and environmental considerations. Key hardware specifications include: -
  • 24 RS-232 ports for versatile connectivity options.
  • Compatibility with Cisco 4000 Series ISRs, facilitating easy integration.
  • Compliance with a range of international regulatory standards, ensuring safe and reliable operation across different regions.
The Cisco NIM-24A is designed for out-of-band management of console ports, enhancing network management and monitoring capabilities. This feature, coupled with the module's high-density terminal server functionality, positions the NIM-24A as a critical component for businesses looking to optimize their network infrastructure for performance, scalability, and reliability.
