NIM-1T Description
The NIM-1T is a Cisco 1-port synchronous serial WAN Network Interface Module for Cisco 4400 Series ISR branch routers that terminate a leased-line circuit. The module has one Smart Serial connector that runs up to 8 Mbps with HDLC, PPP or Frame Relay encapsulation over V.35, EIA-232, EIA-449, EIA-530, EIA-530A and X.21 cables. The module is a single-wide NIM with no slot restrictions, needs Cisco IOS XE 3.12 or later with the IP Base feature set, and does not support Bisync or X.25.

Application Scenarios
A branch router such as the Cisco 4451-X terminates one synchronous serial leased line from its carrier on the module’s Smart Serial port, running HDLC or PPP at up to 8 Mbps.
A site that still runs Frame Relay, or an X.21 or V.35 line from an older provider, connects through the module with a Smart Serial cable matched to the circuit’s electrical standard.

NIM-1T is the single-port model of this Smart Serial NIM group: it has one serial connector against two on NIM-2T and four on NIM-4T, while all three run at up to 8 Mbps per port, so port count is the only hardware difference. A branch with two synchronous serial circuits on one router moves to NIM-2T, and a branch with four moves to NIM-4T. Cisco’s datasheet allows up to 3 of each module on a Cisco 4451-X, which caps one router at 3 serial ports with NIM-1T, 6 with NIM-2T and 12 with NIM-4T.
Ordering Checklist
- Supported hosts: Install the module in a Cisco 4451-X, where the datasheet allows up to 3 NIM-1T modules. The module installs only in a supported Cisco 4000 Series ISR NIM slot.
