Overview
The Cisco IAD2430 series IADs aggregate multiple channels of data and voice or fax user-side traffic
for transport over single or multiple WAN uplinks. Voice or fax traffic is transported by VoIP or by Voice
over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (VoATM). All platforms support Media Gateway Control Protocol
(MGCP), the signaling protocol H.323, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
The Cisco IAD2430, Cisco IAD2431, and Cisco IAD2432 series routers consist of five models with a
common front panel (Figure 1). The Cisco IAD2435 series router consists of one model
(Cisco IAD2435-8FXS) with a different front panel (Figure 2). The Cisco IAD2430, Cisco IAD2431,
and Cisco IAD2432 series routers include a slot for the external flash memory card, as well as console,
auxiliary, and flash (CF) memory ports. The front panel, labeled "Cisco IAD2400 Series," is identical
for all models. However, the back panels, labeled by specific model number, vary considerably,
depending on interfaces, ports, and options. Analog voice ports use an RJ-21 interface.
