Cisco WIC-1AM-V2 enterprise networking (router/Catalyst switch/UCS families) Router Line Card

The Cisco WIC-1AM-V2 is a 1-port analogue modem WAN interface card, a WIC-slot module fitted to Cisco integrated services routers to add a single built-in analogue modem for dial backup, out-of-band console access, or low-speed dial connectivity over a standard PSTN line. Version 2 of the card carries updated modem firmware over the original WIC-1AM. It remains a routine requirement in installed-base routers retaining an analogue dial-backup path, particularly for out-of-band management where a WAN circuit failure would otherwise cut off remote access to the router itself. Confirm your router’s WIC slot type before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies Cisco WAN interface cards to keep dial-backup and out-of-band access in service.
