VIC 2FXO-M3 to work in a 2651XM

[karl.jericho]

Hi everyone,

I has a 2651XM router on my desk today I received a VIC 2FXO-M3 card to build a home phone system, but cannot for the life of me see the card when I run a show inv.

Router#show inv

NAME: "2651XM chassis", DESCR: "2651XM chassis"

PID: C2651XM-2FE       , VID: 1.0, SN: JAE071601C6

On digging some more, and finding the Platform Support matrix

Do I have to also purchase a Carrier Module in order to have the FXO card work? Like one here on eBay?

Appreciate the help, it's had me stratching my head trying to understand it.

Thanks,

Hi KJ,

VIC-2FXO-M3 card is not appearing in show inventory because DSP are not available on router.Also, PVDMs cannot be installed on motherboard of 2600XM router.

Hence, you need to go for NM-1V card [Carrier Module card] which comes with DSP installed on it.

On the 1700 voice platforms, one or more PVDMs are needed to support VICs, or voice ports are missed in the active configuration. The PVDMs hold DSPs that make the VICs fully functional, and are installed on the motherboard of the 1700 series. For more information, refer to

Troubleshooting Unrecognized Voice Interface Cards on Cisco 1750, 1751, and 1760 Routers

. On the Cisco VG200, 2600, 2600XM, 2691, 3600, and 3700 series routers, the carrier network modules (NM-1V, NM-2V, NM-HD-1V, NM-HD-2V, NM-HD-2VE, NM-HDV2) come with the DSPs installed on the module.

regds,
