FAQ
What does universal mean for the NIM-4FXO?
Universal FXO supports multiple PSTN signalling variants across different regions, making the module suitable for deployment across the UAE and GCC without requiring a region-specific variant.
How does this differ from the NIM-2FXO?
The NIM-4FXO provides 4 FXO ports compared to 2 on the NIM-2FXO, doubling the analog PSTN lines that can be connected from a single NIM slot.
Is the dedicated DSP sufficient for all voice services?
Yes, the integrated DSP handles all TDM analog voice processing independently, requiring no additional DSP resources from the Cisco 4000 ISR platform.
