Overview

Cisco 3600 Series

NM-16A, NM-32A, NM-1FE-TX,

NM-COMPR, NM-4E, and NM-4T

Introduction

A single platform strategy that enables customers to integrate

various networks as well as various external customer premises

equipment (CPE) and peripheral devices into a single chassis

offers tremendous advantages. The beneﬁts range from simpliﬁed

training, reduced complexity, a single management and

conﬁguration tool, and, perhaps the most compelling of all, a

signiﬁcantly lowercost of ownership. The Cisco 3600has evolved

into the multi-function platform at the branch, with the ability to

support dial access to the network as well as traditional

LAN-LAN routing in the same chassis. This product

announcement describes the features of new network modules

that are available on the platform.

In late 1996, the Cisco 3600 series was introduced as

a family of modular, cost-effective, high performance, dial access

solutions targeted at regional and branch ofﬁces and small to

medium-size Internet service providers (ISPs).

The integrated routing capabilities of the platform deliver

complete remote access solutions to a growing number of dial

access users. Both the Cisco 3620 and 3640 eliminate the need to

purchase separate equipment for remote dialup or WAN

connectivity, translating to cost savings and investment

protection.

In addition to this announcement, in early 1997, Cisco

announced further extensions to the capabilities of the platform.

Speciﬁcally, four new capabilities were announced to reinforce

Cisco’s ability to deliver complete remote access solutions,

including the single-port Ethernet network module, the 56/

64-kbps WAN interface card with integrated channel service unit

(CSU) and DC versions of the chassis.

Yet another series of modules for the multi-function platform

at the branch will become available soon. The following

capabilities are being announced for the Cisco 3600.

Features at a Glance for New Modules

NM-16A, NM-32A Features at a Glance

• Module requires a single slot in a Cisco 3600 series

• NM-16A has 16 asynchronous serial interfaces, the NM-32A

has 32

• Each port operates at speeds up to 134 kbps with full speed

available on all ports simultaneously

• The 16 ports are cabled with two custom “octopus” cables,

terminating in 8 ports, each with an option of physical

endpoints, including RJ-45 and DB25 (the 32-port module has

four such cables)

• Shares interface cables with the Cisco 2509-2512

• An LED indicates when the network module is “ENabled” for

operation

• A single LED for each port lights up when that port is

transmitting/receiving data.
