PRODUCT MIGRATION OPTIONS
The recommended replacement for the 1-port WIC (part number WIC-1B-S/T) is the new 1-port WIC (part number WIC-1B-S/T-V3; Table 3).
The WIC option offers a single ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) port (with optional NT1). The new 1-port WIC inserts into a mixed-media network module (part number NM-1FE2W-V2, NM-2FE2W-V2, NM-1FE1R2W, or NM-2W); it also is supported on the Cisco 1700, 1800, 2600XM, 2800, 3700, and 3800 series routers. It provides a cost-effective ISDN router with the following benefits of integration:
• Fewer devices and cables to deploy and manage
• Remote and local configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting through the Cisco IOS® Software CLI and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Flexibility and investment protection
• Single-vendor support
• Enhanced reliability
• Physical space savings
The ability to add BRI connectivity through a WIC enables administrators to maximize valuable slot space while providing additional connectivity options on the same module such as Fast Ethernet.
