That is a FXS(P) card. Ensure you are running 16.5.1 or higher code.

Hi @bo liu

On select Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers, the Foreign Exchange Station Network Interface Modules (FXS NIMs) NIM-2FXSP, NIM-4FXSP, and NIM-2FXS/4FXOP will not function properly if they run Cisco IOS Software Releases earlier than Cisco IOS XE 16.5.

The impacted FXS NIMs have a suffix "P" at the end of the PID. The impacted FXS NIM PIDs are:

• NIM-2FXSP
• NIM-4FXSP
• NIM-2FXS/4FXOP

It's your case. The solution is to use Cisco IOS XE Release 16.5 or later so that the impacted FXS NIMs operate properly. 

Here find the notice concerning that issue:
