Cisco 2 Port FXS Network Interface Module NIM-2FXS Dual Voice Ports For Analog Phones

Cisco NIM-2FXS: 2-Port Analog Voice Interface Module for ISRs

The Cisco NIM-2FXS is a specialized 2-port Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) Network Interface Module designed for Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs). This module provides direct connectivity for standard analog telephones, fax machines, and modems, integrating them seamlessly into your IP voice network. It enables cost-effective migration to Voice over IP (VoIP) while preserving investments in existing analog communication devices, complementing your Cisco Network Switch and overall network infrastructure.

Connecting Analog Devices to IP Networks

This module allows you to connect up to two traditional analog devices (like telephones or fax machines) directly to your Cisco ISR. It provides the necessary dial tone, ringing voltage, and battery current to enable these devices to operate within an IP telephony environment.

Voice Gateway Functionality

The NIM-2FXS acts as a voice gateway, converting analog voice signals into IP packets and vice versa. This is crucial for branch offices looking to extend their IP PBX capabilities to include analog lines or for gradual migration to VoIP.

Flexible and Scalable for ISRs

As a Network Interface Module, the NIM-2FXS offers modularity for Cisco 4000 Series ISRs. This allows for flexible expansion of analog voice ports as needed, adapting to your specific communication requirements and preserving router investment.

Optimizing Branch Office Communications

This module is ideal for branch offices that need to support legacy analog equipment alongside modern IP communications. It integrates voice services into the router, which can also handle data traffic from Cisco Network Switch devices and Cisco Wireless AP deployments, creating a unified communication solution.
