NIM-2FXSP Description
Cisco NIM-2FXSP is a two-port Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) analog voice Network Interface Module for Cisco ISR 4000 Series routers. Each port can also operate in DID (inbound-only) mode, enabling direct connection of analog phones, fax machines, and key systems while accepting DID lines from the PSTN. The module integrates its own DSP (no motherboard PVDMs), supports up to 128-ms echo cancellation, broad codec coverage, T.38 fax and modem pass-through, and interoperates with SCCP, H.323, SIP, and MGCP 1.0. As a “P” version, it reflects a manufacturing change with no functional differences from non-P models; it supports OIR on ISR 4300/4400 platforms and is qualified for IOS XE 16.5 and later.
Key Features
Delivers two Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) interfaces that can also operate in Direct Inward Dial (DID) mode, making it ideal for connecting analog telephones, fax machines, or key systems, while also enabling inbound-only PSTN call delivery.
Built-in digital signal processor eliminates the need for motherboard PVDMs, providing advanced time-division multiplexed (TDM) voice features including echo cancellation up to 128 ms, voice activity detection (VAD), comfort noise generation, and acoustic shock protection.
Supports widely used codecs such as G.711, G.729a, and G.726, while also offering G.723 and iSAC options for flexible bandwidth optimization. This ensures compatibility across different WAN environments and unified communications systems.
Provides caller-ID generation, battery polarity reversal, Message Waiting Indicator (MWI), cable detection, and configurable long-loop support. These features make the module suitable for enterprise-grade deployments requiring reliable analog line signaling.
Ensures smooth integration with T.38 fax relay, fax pass-through, and modem pass-through. This allows industries such as healthcare, retail, government, and utilities to continue using fax machines, alarms, and other analog legacy devices alongside IP telephony.
Supports online insertion and removal (OIR) to reduce downtime, is fully manageable via SNMP/MIB and IOS XE CLI, and interworks seamlessly with SCCP, H.323, SIP, and MGCP 1.0, ensuring smooth integration into Cisco Unified Communications environments.
Applications Scenarios
Connect lobby/desk phones and fax machines or terminate inbound DID lines from the PSTN while central call control runs on UC platforms.
Deploy guest-room/front-desk analog sets and back-office fax lines with MWI, CID generation, and long-loop support for extended runs.
Maintain compliant analog lines for records, alarms, and specialty devices during phased migration to IP telephony (fax/modem pass-through retained).
