All the 2600 Series routers provide the same number of network module slots
and WAN interface slots, which is one and two, respectively.The network module
slot can hold one two-slot voice/fax network module or high-density voice/fax
module.The two-slot voice/fax network module allows for two of the two-port
FXS, FXO, and E&M voice interface cards or any combination thereof.The
high-density voice modules, meanwhile, support one to two T1 or E1 ports.
The Cisco 2600 can be used in a traditional VoIP environment providing tollbypass,
or be integrated into an AVVID architecture.The 2600 router communicates
with CallManager via H.323 and MGCP protocol. As of CallManager
3.0(5), MGCP protocol is supported on FXS and FXO analog interfaces. A small
company with a 25-user site could use a 2600 router with two two-port FXO
modules providing four analog lines for outgoing and incoming calls.This router
would also provide IP WAN connectivity. As the site grows, the Cisco 2600 can
be upgraded from the two two-port FXO modules to a high-density voice
module, NM-HDV-1T1-24, which will provide more trunks for the user base in
this larger environment.
