The Cisco WIC-1AM is a versatile WAN interface card that provides connectivity through analogue modem or ISDN. This particular model is typically used for remote network management, dial backup, and low-speed WAN access use cases. Supporting both data and fax transmissions, the Cisco WIC-1AM enables convenient and flexible communication for small to medium-sized networks requiring basic dial-up access. It is particularly effective for organisations that need redundant connections as part of their continuity planning, providing fallback connectivity if the main circuit goes down.
The Cisco WIC-1AM features an integrated modem, allowing it to dial in and establish a connection with remote resources or the internet over standard analogue telephone lines. The integrated capability eliminates the need for an external modem, reducing hardware clutter and simplifying installation. The modem supports speeds up to 56 kbps, ensuring reliable transmission of both data and faxes through Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) infrastructures.
This model is installed into any compatible Cisco router that has an available WIC slot. Compatibility extends across a range of Cisco router platforms, making it a flexible choice for various networking setups. It also supports multiple management options through commonly used Cisco command-line interface (CLI) tools. The WIC-1AM therefore delivers efficient deployment, configuration options, and long-term utility for enterprise IT teams managing a diverse set of offices or remote branches.
Users can also combine this card with other WIC modules, enabling multi-service networking across the same hardware platform. Excellent for environments where both digital and analogue communications are required, this WAN interface card streamlines the mix of technologies in use without adding undue complexity.
