Product Review

The Cisco NIM2FXS4FXO module offers a balanced mix of 2 FXS and 4 FXO ports, catering to versatile voice interfacing requirements for businesses, especially valuable for connecting to PSTN and supporting legacy telephony equipment. Compatibility with Cisco IOS Releases XE3.14.3 and above, along with support for ISR 4400 and 4300 series, ensures easy integration into existing network infrastructures. However, the absence of support for Cisco 2900 and 3900 series ISRs limits its application in environments relying on these older platforms.

Overview

The Cisco NIM2FXS4FXO is a network interface module designed to provide flexible voice and fax communication in Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) Series 4400 and 4300. This module is equipped with a total of six ports, comprising two Foreign Exchange Station (FXS)/Foreign Exchange Subscriber (FXS-E)/Direct Inward Dialing (DID) ports and four Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) ports. It is compatible with Cisco IOS Releases XE3.14.3, XE3.15.1, XE3.16 and above, ensuring seamless integration with the latest network operating systems. This hardware module adheres to multiple standards including TIA-968-B for the USA, CS-03 for Canada, AS/CA S003 for Australia, and PTC220 for New Zealand, ensuring its compliance with international telecommunications standards. Additionally, it meets various immunity specifications such as CISPR24: 2010, EN 300 386 V1.6.1, EN55024: 2010, KN24: 2011, and TCVN 7317: 2003, providing robust protection against external electrical interferences. Weighing only 0.52 lbs, this compact module is designed for easy installation and minimal rack space usage. It supports key voice features such as echo cancellation, comfort noise generation, Dual-tone Multi-frequency (DTMF) detection, voice activity detection, modem detection and pass-through, RFC 4733 digit relay, and acoustic shock protection. These features ensure high-quality, reliable communication for voice and fax services. The FXS ports on the Cisco NIM2FXS4FXO offer functionalities suitable for direct connections to phones, fax machines, and key systems, featuring configurable long loop ports, message waiting indication, and cable detection. These ports can operate in either FXS or DID modes, providing flexibility for a variety of telephony applications. On the other hand, the FXO ports are designed for connection to a PBX or key systems and off-premises connections to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). They support both ground start and loop start modes and are equipped with features such as Caller ID Display (CDR) information, internetworking capabilities, cable detection, and overload protection, ensuring reliable operation under various network conditions.
  • Cable Type: Straight-Through 2-Wire
  • SNMP Traps: Generated in response to alarms for efficient network management.
  • OIR Support: Yes, allowing for hot swapping of the module without disrupting the router operation.
It is important to note that this module does not support jumpers and is not compatible with Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series ISRs, limiting its use to the specified 4400 and 4300 Series only. Despite these limitations, its analog nature and support for SNMP traps make it a versatile choice for businesses looking to integrate voice and fax services into their existing network infrastructure. Overall, the Cisco NIM2FXS4FXO module provides essential features for voice and fax communication, offering businesses a reliable solution for integrating these services into their Cisco ISR routers. Its compliance with international standards, support for critical voice functionalities, and compatibility with specific Cisco routers make it a valuable asset for any network requiring voice communication capabilities.
