NIM-4FXSP Description
The NIM-4FXSP is a Cisco 4000 Series ISR analog voice network interface module in the P hardware revision, 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, with the same functions as the non-P hardware. The module needs Cisco IOS XE 16.5 or later, because on earlier releases it boots but its analog voice ports do not show up in the voice port summary.

Application Scenarios
A branch router running Cisco IOS XE 16.5 or later can connect analog phones, fax machines and key systems to the four FXS ports on the module.
An office that gets DID numbers from the central office can land them on the DID-capable ports for incoming calls, and DID mode does not support caller ID.

XE16.5 and above |
NIM-4FXSP and NIM-4FXS have the same four FXS/FXS-E/DID-capable ports and the same Cisco ordering description, but the P hardware revision needs IOS XE 16.5 or later, whereas NIM-4FXS also runs on 3.13.4, 3.14.3, 3.15.1 and 3.16. Routers that cannot move to XE 16.5 therefore take NIM-4FXS, since the P module on an earlier release boots without showing its analog voice ports. Two station lines call for NIM-2FXSP, which has two FXS/FXS-E/DID-capable ports on the same P revision. Where FXS stations and FXO trunks share one slot, NIM-2FXS/4FXOP adds four FXO ports to two FXS-class ports.
Ordering Checklist
- Router hosts: Order for Cisco 4300 and 4400 Series ISR NIM slots. NIM-4FXSP 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-4FXSP cannot be installed.
