Information About WIC-2AM-V2
The Cisco WIC-2AM-V2 is a dual-port analog modem WAN interface card designed for Cisco modular access routers. As part of the Cisco WAN Interface Card (WIC) portfolio, it offers integrated analog dial-up capabilities ideal for backup WAN connectivity, remote site access, and out-of-band management in enterprise and branch deployments.
Key Features:
- Dual Analog Modem Ports:
Equipped with two RJ-11 ports, each supporting an integrated analog modem, the WIC-2AM-V2 enables simultaneous dial-up connections over PSTN lines using standards such as ITU-T V.92 and V.90. Supports modem speeds up to 56 kbps per port.
- Broad Router Compatibility:
Compatible with Cisco 1700, 1800, 2600, 2800, 3600, 3700, and 3800 Series routers, allowing flexible deployment across a range of modular platforms.
- Reliable Dial Backup Connectivity:
Enables automatic failover to dial-up WAN access in the event of a primary link failure, ensuring continuity of critical business communications and services.
- Out-of-Band Management Access:
Ideal for managing routers and network infrastructure at remote or unattended locations, providing secure access for troubleshooting and configuration even during outages.
- V.92 and Legacy Modem Standards Support:
Supports the latest analog modem protocols for faster connect times and improved data throughput, while maintaining compatibility with legacy V.34/V.32bis standards.
- Cisco IOS Integration:
Fully manageable through Cisco IOS, supporting advanced routing, authentication (CHAP/PAP), AAA, dialer profiles, and modem command scripting for granular configuration.
- Compact and Hot-Swappable:
Occupies a single WIC slot and is hot-swappable, minimizing downtime and simplifying field replacements and upgrades.
- Low Power and Lightweight:
Draws power from the host router chassis with minimal footprint, ideal for branch offices and space-constrained environments.
The WIC-2AM-V2 is a cost-effective, versatile solution for providing resilient WAN connectivity, legacy modem access, and secure remote management. Its dual-modem configuration, compatibility with multiple router series, and tight integration with Cisco IOS make it a strategic asset for hybrid network infrastructures and remote site deployments.
