Cisco 2620XM Interface Card

[handleric]

Hello, I am running a Cisco 2620XM Router in my network which has always had a cable internet provider, due to the current state of our local economy, we are switching to a DSL provider (CenturyLink) and I was simply wondering is the WIC-1ADSL Interface card is all im am going to need to be able to plug the router into the line and have the router sign is with PPPoE to the provider?

Thanks

If you can still buy one, then yes.  WIC-1ADSL will work on 2610-51XM.

And this card will allow the router to connect directly to the DSL service?

[Leo Laohoo]

yes

I got the card and now have it installed, but when I run the "show diag" command, it says: WIC slot 0 - Unknown WAN daughter card

So, does this mean that the card is not compatible?

Likely you need to update/upgrade IOS.

[Leo Laohoo]

In my first post is a link.  This will tell you what IOS you should need.

[handleric]

It does have IOS 12.2 Installed so I am quite sure you are correct. What is the process for an IOS update? Where is it obtained?

[Leo Laohoo]

Can you please post the output to the command "sh version".

You're running the wrong IOS.

The ADSL feature is supported in the IP/ADSL Image ("y7" image) for the Cisco 1700 Series. The Cisco 2600/3600/3700 series routers require a PLUS Cisco IOS Software image for ADSL if version 12.2T is in use. From Cisco IOS Software Release12.3 mainline and later, ADSL WIC support is available in the "IP Base" feature set. Some Quality of Service (QoS) features require an advanced image (IP PLUS, IP VOICE, or later) for Cisco 1700/2600/3600/3700 series router support.

The ADSL over POTS WIC (WIC-1ADSL), is available on the Cisco IOS 12.2(13)T Release for the Cisco 1700/2600/ 3600/3700 series routers.

The ADSL over POTS WIC with Dying Gasp Support (WIC-1ADSL-DG) is available on Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(15)ZL for the 1700 Series. This release merges into the third release of the Cisco IOS Software12.3T train in the first calendar quarter of 2004. The WIC-1ADSL-DG is first available on the Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)XD for the Cisco 2600XM, 2691, and 3700 Series and is supported in the third release of the 12.3T software train as of 2004.

The ADSL over ISDN WIC (WIC-1ADSL-I-DG) is available on the Cisco IOS Software version 12.2(13)ZH for the Cisco 1700 series and will be available on Cisco IOS Software version 12.2(15)ZJ for the Cisco 2600XM, 2691, and 3700 series routers. All WIC-1ADSL-I-DG features in 12.2(13)ZH and 12.2(15)ZJ is supported in the second release of the Cisco IOS Software 12.3T train (available in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2003). This date is subject to change. For a comprehensive list of images that support the ADSL over ISDN WIC on the Cisco 1700 Series, refer to the Cisco IOS Release 12.2(13)ZH product bulletin number 2135 and future releases on Cisco.com.

So what IOS needs to be installed, and where would I be able to obtain it?

[paolo bevilacqua]

Ther normal way is having a support contract with Cisco.

But I'm afraid you can't do that, because the router is obsolete and cannot be put under a service contract anymore.
