NIM-2FXS/4FXO Description

Cisco NIM-2FXS/4FXO is a hybrid analog voice Network Interface Module for Cisco ISR 4000 Series routers, offering two Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) ports and four Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) ports on a single card. The FXS ports can also function as Direct Inward Dial (DID) interfaces for inbound PSTN calls, while the FXO ports provide PSTN/PBX trunk connectivity with loop-start and ground-start signaling. With onboard DSP resources, the module supports up to 128-ms echo cancellation, comprehensive codec coverage, T.38 fax relay, and modem pass-through. It integrates seamlessly with Unified Communications protocols including SCCP, H.323, SIP, and MGCP, supports online insertion and removal (OIR), and is fully compatible with Cisco ISR 4300/4400 platforms running Cisco IOS XE software.

Key Features

Hybrid FXS/FXO Design

Provides 2 FXS ports with DID capability plus 4 FXO ports, combining analog station support and PSTN trunk connectivity on one module.

Integrated DSP for Voice Services

Onboard DSP eliminates the need for router PVDMs, enabling time-division multiplexed voice, echo cancellation up to 128 ms, and consistent call quality.

Extensive Codec Coverage

Supports G.711, G.729a, G.726, plus G.723 and iSAC, ensuring flexible bandwidth optimization and interoperability across enterprise voice networks.

Enterprise Telephony Features

Offers caller-ID generation (FXS), detection (FXO), battery polarity reversal, Message Waiting Indicator (MWI), cable detection, and overload protection.

Legacy Device Compatibility

Delivers T.38 fax relay, fax pass-through, and modem pass-through for analog fax machines, POS systems, alarms, and dial-up devices in critical industries.

Unified Communications Integration

Supports OIR on ISR 4300/4400 routers, SNMP/MIB management, and interworks with SCCP, H.323, SIP, and MGCP 1.0 under Cisco IOS XE software.

Applications Scenarios

Branch offices and mixed telephony

Deploy both analog station lines and PSTN trunks on one router, ensuring smooth migration to VoIP while retaining legacy voice services.

Hospitality and retail operations

Combine front-desk phones, guest-room analog lines, fax machines, and PSTN trunks in hotels and retail sites with unified management.

Public sector and healthcare

Maintain fax, modem, and analog phone connectivity while adding PSTN backup trunks for emergency services and regulatory compliance.

Questions & Answers

  • What is NIM-2FXS/4FXO designed for?

    It’s a mixed-media voice NIM combining two FXS ports and four FXO ports on one module, perfect for branches needing both local analog devices and PSTN trunks in a single ISR slot.
  • Why choose NIM-2FXS/4FXO over separate modules?

    Space and cost efficiency. One NIM slot delivers both FXS and FXO, preserving slots for WAN/LAN modules while enabling flexible call routing policies.
  • Is SRST supported with this mixed module?

    Yes. Provide local dial tone to FXS devices and route emergency calls out FXO trunks if WAN fails, ensuring branch survivability.
  • How does it integrate with CUCM?

    Register gateways to CUCM using MGCP or SIP/H.323. Map route groups to use FXO for local break-out and FXS for analog extensions.
  • Can I prioritize emergency calls?

    Yes. Use dial peers and corlists to match emergency patterns, preferring FXO trunks for location-accurate calling even when SIP paths are up.
  • What about caller ID and impedance?

    Country-specific settings are available for both FXS and FXO sides. Tune to local standards for reliable signaling and display.
  • How to manage capacity limits?

    FXO is circuit-based; ensure sufficient channels for peak calls. If growth continues, migrate to SIP as primary and keep FXO as backup.
  • Any typical pitfalls?

    Echo or gain mismatches. Use IOS voice-port tuning, echo cancellation, and impedance settings to improve analog voice quality.
