This chapter describes how to install WAN and voice interface cards in Cisco 3600 series, 2600 series, 1600 series, and Cisco 1700 series modular routers, and contains the following sections:
In addition to the WAN interface card and the router, you need the following items to install and connect your card:
This section describes how to install a network module (for WAN or voice interface cards) in a Cisco 3600 series or Cisco 2600 series router.
To install a WAN or voice interface card in a network module or to install a WAN interface card in a Cisco 2600 series chassis slot, see the "Before Installing a Voice Interface Card" section.
To install a WAN interface card in a Cisco 1700 series router or Cisco 1600 series router, see the "Installing a WAN Interface Card in a Cisco 1700 Series or Cisco 1600 Series Router" section.
 |
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment. |
|
Warning You can install modules in the chassis either before or after mounting the router. If possible, install the modules with the router in the position that provides the best access to the rear panel. You can install any module into any available slot in the chassis. |
 |
Caution Do not insert a module into a slot when power is on or network cables are connected. |
 |
Note Do not install an ISDN BRI WAN interface card or an ISDN BRI network module in the same chassis as an ISDN PRI network module. This configuration is not supported. |
To install a network module in a Cisco 3600 series or Cisco 2600 series router, follow these steps:
Step 2 Use a Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver to remove the blank filler panel from the slot where you plan to install the module. Save the filler panel for possible future use.
Step 3 Align the module with the guides in the chassis and slide it gently into the slot. (See Figure 2-1.)
Step 4 Push the module into place until the edge connector is securely seated in the connector on the motherboard. Ensure that each of the module's captive screws lines up with its corresponding hole in the chassis.
Step 5 Secure the captive mounting screws into the holes of the chassis using a Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.
If you are installing a network module in a Cisco 3600 series router, and the router is not fully configured with modules, you must fill the open slots with slot filler panels (see Figure 2-2) to ensure proper airflow.
This section contains additional information that you need before installing a voice interface card in a voice network module installed in a Cisco 3600 series or Cisco 2600 series router.
A voice connection requires both a voice network module and a voice interface card. Voice interface cards are installed in voice network modules only, and do not install directly into the router chassis. At least one other network module or WAN interface card must be installed in the router to provide the connection to the IP LAN or WAN. For instructions on how to install a network module, see the "Installing a Network Module in a Cisco 3600 Series or Cisco 2600 Series Router" section.
For instructions on inserting a voice interface card into a voice network module, see the "Installing a WAN or Voice Interface Card in a Network Module or Chassis Slot" section.
This section describes how to install a WAN or voice interface card in a two-slot network module (used in Cisco 3600 series and Cisco 2600 series routers), and how to install a WAN interface card in a Cisco 2600 series chassis slot (see Figure 2-3).
If you need to install the network module, see the "Installing a Network Module in a Cisco 3600 Series or Cisco 2600 Series Router" section.
You can install WAN interface cards either before or after mounting the router, whichever is more convenient. Similarly, you can install WAN or voice interface cards in the network module either before or after installing the network module in the router chassis.
|
Caution WAN and voice interface cards do not support online insertion and removal (hot swapping). Before inserting a card into the network module or router chassis, you must turn off electrical power and disconnect network cables. |
|
Caution Although voice interface cards physically resemble WAN interface cards, voice and WAN interface cards are not interchangeable. Voice interface cards cannot be installed in a WAN interface card slot or a two-slot network module, and WAN interface cards cannot be installed in a voice network module. |
Follow this procedure to install cards in a network module or a Cisco 2600 series WAN interface card chassis slot:
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
|
Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. |
|
Note If you are installing a single WAN interface card in a Cisco 2600 series router, use slot W0 first. (See Figure 2-3.) The Cisco 2600 series router first checks slot W0 before it checks slot W1. If you fill slot W1 while leaving slot W0 vacant, your router configuration could be affected. |
Step 2 Using either a number 2 Phillips screwdriver or a small flat-blade screwdriver to remove the blank filler panel from the network module slot or chassis card slot where you plan to install the card. Save the filler panel for future use.
|
Note The voice network module slots are numbered V0 on the right, and V1 on the left. |
Step 3 Align the card with the guides in the two-slot network module or WAN interface card slot and slide it gently into the slot. (Figure 2-4 shows a 1-port serial WAN interface card.)
Step 4 Push the card into place until you feel its edge connector mate securely with the connector in the two-slot network module or WAN interface card slot.
Step 5 Fasten the card's captive mounting screws into the holes in the network module faceplate or WAN interface card slot, using the Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.
Step 6 If the router was previously running, reinstall the network interface cables and turn on power to the router.
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
|
Warning After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position. |
If any interface card slot (on the network module or chassis) is unoccupied, install a filler panel to enable proper airflow. (See Figure 2-5.)
When you have finished installing interface cards in the network module or chassis slots, proceed to Chapter 3, "Connecting WAN and Voice Interface Cards to a Network."
This section describes how to install a WAN interface card in a Cisco 1700 series router or Cisco 1600 series router.
To install a WAN interface card in a Cisco 3600 series or Cisco 2600 series router, see the "Installing a Network Module in a Cisco 3600 Series or Cisco 2600 Series Router" section, or the "Before Installing a Voice Interface Card" section.
The Cisco 1700 series routers have two slots for installing WAN interface cards. On the 1720 routers, these slots are numbered WIC 1 on the right, and WIC 0 on the left (see Figure 2-6). On the 1750 router, these slots are numbered WIC/VIC slot 0 on the bottom and WIC/VIC slot 1 on the top (see Figure 2-7).
If you are installing a single WAN interface card in a 1720 series router, install the card in the WIC0 slot. A single card installed in WIC1 could affect your router configuration.
If you are installing a WAN interface card on the 1750 router, you can install the card on either WIC/VIC slot 0 or WIC/VIC slot 1.
 |
TimeSaver You can install WAN interface cards either before or after mounting the router, whichever is more convenient. |
|
Caution WAN interface cards do not support online insertion and removal (hot swapping). Before inserting a WAN interface card into the router chassis, you must turn off electrical power and disconnect network cables. |
|
Note The figures in this section show a Cisco 1600 series router, but the installation sequence described applies to both the Cisco 1600 series and Cisco 1700 series routers. |
Follow this procedure to install the WAN interface card in the router:
On Cisco 1600 series router, turn off power to the router. However, to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not unplug the power cable.
Step 2 Remove all network interface cables, including telephone cables, from the rear panel.
Step 3 Use either a number 2 Phillips screwdriver or a small flat-blade screwdriver to remove the filler panel from the WAN interface card slot. (See
Figure 2-8.) Save the filler panel for future use.
Step 4 Align the card with the guides and slide it gently into the WAN interface card slot. (See Figure 2-9.)
Step 5 Push the card into place until you feel its edge connector mate securely with the connector in the router chassis.
Step 6 Fasten the card's captive mounting screws into the chassis using the Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.
|
Note If any WAN interface card slot on the chassis is unoccupied, install a filler panel to enable proper airflow. |
Step 7 If the router was previously running, reinstall the network interface cables and turn on power to the router.
After installing the WAN interface card into the router, proceed to Chapter 3, "Connecting WAN and Voice Interface Cards to a Network."
