The Cisco 1600 Series is not capable of supporting the WIC−2T due to lack of Serial Communications
Controllers.
The NM−1E2W, NM−1E1R2W, and NM−2E2W Network Modules do not have enough performance power
to support the WIC−2T due to hardware limitations.

Known Problems

The show version command shows WIC−2T as "low−speed". This is a display only (cosmetic) problem.

Hardware Failures

The WIC−2T and WIC−2A/S can be damaged by excessive electrostatic discharge. You can minimize this
electrostatic discharge in several ways.
Use shielded cable end−to−end.
Use a data surge protector that protects against surges over +/− 18v.
Use an optical isolator (best protection).

Sample Configuration

The following is a sample configuration for the WIC−2T interface card.
Note: There are no framing, clocking or linecode parameters or commands being used here. This is because
this card does not have an integrated channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU). You need to use an
external CSU/DSU.
