NIM-4FXS Description
The NIM-4FXS is a Cisco 4000 Series ISR analog voice network interface module for branch routers that connect phones, fax machines and key systems. The module has four FXS/FXS-E/DID-capable voice ports and onboard DSP that needs no PVDM on the router motherboard, and it fits NIM slots on Cisco 4300 and 4400 Series ISRs. DID mode does not support caller ID, and Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series ISRs cannot host the module.

Application Scenarios
A branch office with a Cisco 4300 or 4400 Series ISR can connect analog phones, fax machines and key systems directly to the four FXS ports, and the onboard DSP handles the voice processing.
A site that receives DID numbers from the central office can terminate them on the DID-capable ports for incoming PSTN calls, with the limit that DID mode carries no caller ID.

NIM-4FXS and NIM-4FXSP carry the same four FXS/FXS-E/DID-capable ports, but NIM-4FXS is the original hardware that runs on IOS XE 3.13.4, 3.14.3, 3.15.1 and 3.16 and later, while the P revision needs XE 16.5 or later. A router on an earlier release has to take NIM-4FXS, because on those releases the P module boots yet shows no analog voice ports. Sites that need only two station lines can order NIM-2FXS, which has two FXS/FXS-E/DID-capable ports. Where FXS stations and FXO trunks must share one slot, NIM-2FXS/4FXO provides two FXS-class ports plus four FXO ports.
Ordering Checklist
- Router hosts: Order for Cisco 4300 and 4400 Series ISR NIM slots. NIM-4FXS installs only in a 4000 Series ISR NIM slot, so 2900 and 3900 Series routers cannot take it.
- SM-X slots: Add a NIM carrier card when the host uses an SM-X slot; it converts the slot to a NIM slot for one single-wide or double-wide NIM. Without it, NIM-4FXS cannot be installed.
