This document provides information about the following Integrated Services Digital Network-Basic
Rate Interface (ISDN-BRI) WAN interface cards for the Cisco 3600 series of modular access routers:
The 1-port ISDN-BRI WAN interface card (Cisco product number WIC36-1B-S/T or
CPAWIC36-1B-S/T) connects to an ISDN WAN through an external NT1 device (also known as
an S/T interface). (See Figure 1.) This card will also be referred to as the BRI S/T WAN interface
card.
The 1-port ISDN-BRI with NT1 WAN interface card (Cisco product number WIC36-1B-U or
CPAWIC36-1B-U) connects to an ISDN WAN using a built-in NT1 device (also known as a U
interface). (See Figure 2.) This card will also be referred to as the BRI U WAN interface card.
Unless specifically identified, references to BRI WAN interface cards in this configuration note
include both cards.

Two of these LEDs indicate call activity on the two ISDN-BRI B-channels, as listed in Table 3. The third LED, labeled NT1, indicates synchronization status of the NT1.
  • Page 11 Configuration Mode You can configure the BRI interface on your BRI WAN interface card manually, by entering Cisco IOS commands on the command line. This method, called configuration mode, provides the greatest power and flexibility. Before you begin, disconnect all WAN cables from the router to keep it from trying to run the AutoInstall process.
