NIM-4FXO Description
The NIM-4FXO is a Cisco analog voice Network Interface Module for the NIM slots of Cisco 4300 and 4400 Series ISRs that terminate PSTN or PBX lines at a branch voice gateway. The module has four FXO line-side voice ports with ground start and loop start signaling, battery reversal detection and caller ID, plus onboard DSP, straight-through 2-wire cabling and online insertion and removal. Cisco IOS XE 3.13.4 or later and the Unified Communications technology package are required, and the module weighs 0.44 lb (200 g).

Application Scenarios
A branch voice gateway terminates up to four analog PSTN lines from the carrier on the FXO ports, using loop start or ground start signaling.
An office that keeps its PBX links four of the PBX’s analog extension ports to the FXO ports, so the router can carry those calls across the IP voice network.

NIM-4FXO provides four FXO ports for PSTN or PBX lines, while NIM-2FXO provides two, so the number of line-side connections to terminate decides between them. A site that also needs station-side FXS, FXS-E or DID ports in the same slot needs NIM-2FXS/4FXO, which keeps four FXO ports and adds two FXS-class ports at 0.52 lb (236 g) against 0.44 lb (200 g). NIM-4FXO supports ground start and loop start, battery reversal detection and caller ID. All three modules include onboard DSP, so none needs a PVDM.
Ordering Checklist
- Supported hosts: Order for the NIM slots of Cisco 4300 and 4400 Series ISRs; the datasheet does not list Cisco 2900 or 3900 Series, so the module cannot be ordered for those routers.
