Cisco 2600-DC Series
Modular Access Platform
Cisco Systems Extends Versatility, Integration, and Power of the Cisco 2600 Series
Modular Access Platform series to Service Provider central offices and Data
Communications Networks.
Figure1
Cisco 2600 Series
Modular Access Routers
As part of a scalable Data Communications
Network (DCN) solution, including the
Cisco Catalyst®2950G-24-DC switch,
Catalyst 2924M-XL switch, Catalyst
4003-DC switch, Cisco 3662-AC/DC-CO,
Cisco 3631-CO, and Cisco 2600 Series
modular access platforms, the Cisco 2600
Series supports central office (CO) serial,
X.25 and Internet protocol/open system
interconnection (IP/OSI) interfaces for
operationsmanagementinServiceProvider,
Inter-Exchange Carrier (IXC), and Post,
Telephone and Telegraph (PTT) networks.
The Cisco DCN solution supports
synchronous optical network/synchronous
digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) network
element (NE) connectivity for alarm
monitoring and control, remote
provisioning, and software download.
Other operations systems network
applications include local number
portability and billing data collection. In
addition, competitive local exchange
carriers (CLECs) can use the Cisco 2600
in small point of presences (POPs) or
central office colocations for digital
subscriber line access multiplexers
(DSLAMs), voice switches, and
transmission operations networking.
New Models in Cisco 2600 DC
Family: 2600XM-DC and
2691-DC
The Cisco 2600XM-DC models provides
the same proven technology of the previous
Cisco 2600 Series platforms, including
Cisco IOS®software mainline feature
support and the modularity of Network
Modules (NMs), WAN Interface Cards
(WICs) and Advanced Integration Modules
(AIMs). The Cisco 2691-DC-U model
provides the same module support as the
2600XM, increased performance (up to
70kbps), and even greater density and
scalability.
Themodulararchitecture oftheCisco 2600
Series allows interfaces to be upgraded to
accommodate network expansion or
changes in technology as new services and
applicationsaredeployed.Serviceproviders
can integrate the functions of multiple,
separatedevices into a single, compactunit,
thereby reducing the complexity of
managing DCN infrastructures. For
example, the Cisco 2600 Series supports
connectivity to legacy asynchronous and
X.25 devices as well as standards-based

IP devices, facilitating a graceful migration from legacy to next generation network elements. Driven by a powerful
RISC processor, the Cisco 2600 Series provides the extra power needed to support the advanced quality of service
(QoS), higher bandwidth and security features required for connecting to today’s Network Operation Center (NOC)
systems.
The Cisco 2600 Series meets service provider’s critical physical requirements for equipment depth fitting right
alongside transmission equipment on standard 12 inch deep racks, and occupying only 1RU to 2RU in height.
Offeredinseven base configurationssupportingfixed singleordual local-area network(LAN)ports, eachCisco2600
also includes one network module slot, two wide-area network (WAN) interface card slots and one or two advanced
integration module (AIM) slots. Rear access cabling allows easy connectivity; the modular design shares a large
number of modules with the Cisco 3600 and 3700 Series, permitting fast servicing of Field Replaceable Units (FRUs).
DC, AC and redundant AC power supply adapter modules are also field replaceable. Network Equipment Building
Standards (NEBS) Level 3/ETSI compliance is achieved when used with the Cisco 2600’s optional NEBs/ETSI kit.
Common Language Equipment Identification (CLEI) coding is provided for easy identification and tracking of
central-office equipment. Robust network management capability for the Cisco DCN solution is achieved by using
the CiscoWorks Management Software or the IE2100 appliance.
Cisco 2600 Series Chassis Options
Each of the Cisco 2610XM-DC through Cisco 2651XM DC versions supports one Network Module (NM) slot, two
WAN Interface Card slots, and one AIM slot, along with one or two fixed LAN ports, one asynchronous auxiliary
port and one console port. The Cisco 2691-DC-U version supports one Network Module (NM) slot, three WAN
Interface Card slots, and two AIM slots, along with two fixed LAN ports, one asynchronous auxiliary port and one
console port. These slots share more than 50 different modules across four Cisco product lines—the Cisco 1700
Series, the Cisco 2600 Series, the Cisco 3600 Series and the Cisco 3700 Series.
The Cisco 2600 DC Series is available in a number of base configurations:
• CISCO2610XM/11XM-DC
• CISCO2612-DC
• CISCO2620XM/21XM-DC
• CISCO2650XM/51XM-DC
• CISCO2691-DC-U
Additionally a spare DC power supply can be ordered for field upgrades or replacements:
• PWR-2600-DC= Cisco 2600/2600XM DC power supply spare
• PWR-2691-DC-U= Spare Universal Power Supply 24 to 48 volts
Refer to Table 2, Cisco 2600 Series System Specifications for detailed product information
Note: AC & RPS power supply versions are also available.
The WAN interface cards available for the Cisco 1700, 2600, 3600, 3700 platforms support a variety of serial,
Integrated Services Digital Network Basic Rate Interface (ISDN BRI), and integrated CSU/DSU options for primary
and backup WAN connectivity. Network modules available for the Cisco 2600 and 3700 Series support a broad
range of applications, including multiservice voice/data integration, analog and ISDN dial access, and serial device

concentration. The internal Data Compression AIM for the Cisco 2600 Series off-loads the task of performing
high-speed data compression from the Cisco 2600’s main CPU, allowing compressed data throughput of up to
8-Mbps while preserving external interface slots for other applications.

Solution Application Notes
What follows are two examples that illustrate the versatility of the Cisco 2600 models in a CO environment. The
first example depicts a Cisco 2600 as both an Ethernet/Asynchronous/Synchronous telemetry platform, and with the
new Alarm Interface Controller network module (NM-AIC-64), facilitates remote alarm monitoring and control of
vital network elements. A second application example depicts the Cisco 2600 with the new Ethernet Switch network
module (NM-16ESW). The Cisco 2600 have been developed to accept a myriad of modules, allowing the user to
custom tailor the platform to specialized network requirements.

Example Application #1: Security—Remote Alarm Monitoring and Control
Figure 4
Security—Remote Alarm Monitoring and Control
The alarm interface controller (AIC) is a network module that greatly expands the network monitoring and control
capabilities of the Cisco 2600 and 3700 Series routers. The AIC functions as an integrated entity residing within the
Cisco 2600 platform to provide network alarm monitoring and proactive remote control of network elements. The
AIC reduces service-provider and enterprise operating expenses by facilitating an integrated solution to remote
networkmanagement.This eliminates theneedfor a dedicatedexternalalarm-monitoring device. Greatlysimplifying
network layout, monitoring, and control; resulting in lower operations, administration, maintenance, and
provisioning (OAM&P) costs. The AIC is supported in Cisco IOS 12.2(8)T and later. The AIC network module
supports 64 discrete alarm inputs, of which 8 of the last 64 alarm points are software-configurable to accept either
analog or discrete inputs. The AIC further supports 16 control relays to facilitate the proactive remote control of
network elements.

Example Application #2: Ethernet Switch Network Module
Figure 5
Ethernet Switch Network Module
The Cisco 16-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch Network Module (NM-16ESW) is a high-density ethernet network
module that provides line-rate Layer 2 switching across Ethernet ports using Cisco IOS®Catalyst Software. Features
such as port autosensing, QoS and VLAN support from 802.1P and 802.1Q standards, and 802.1D Spanning Tree
protocols are standard on the EtherSwitch module. The EtherSwitch offers service providers the option to integrate
switching and routing in one compact platform to simplify their Operations Support Network. This combination
offers ease of configuration, deployment and management while utilizing the powerful characteristics of Cisco
routing and Catalyst switching features.
Withanoptional configuration, DC power canbe provided directlyfrom the CO to theetherswitch module andfrom
there inline to Cisco IP Phones and Aironet Access Points and Base Stations. This solution allows for deployment of
IP Telephony and wireless LANs throughout the CO without adding an AC power source.
