Benefits
Increased Functionality and Versatility
The AIC increases functionality and versatility of the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3640, Cisco 3660, and
Cisco 3662, giving service providers and enterprises enhanced communications and connections
between the OSS and the NOC.

Low Cost Migration to Cost-Effective Technology
The AIC provides a flexible, low-cost network solution for service providers and enterprises to migrate
existing DCNs to IP-based DCNs and to bridge traditional operations networks to a more cost-efficient,
next generation, IP-based operations network.

Efficient, Single “Box” Solution
The AIC provides discrete and analog alarms and initiated surveillance messages for central office and
branch office network equipment (with non-intelligent interfaces) within the Cisco DCN solution
products. By providing the contact closure network module in the same “box” as all the other OAM&P
intelligent interfaces, customers benefit from the cost savings of a single-box solution that facilitates
further DCN consolidation.

Streamlines Management and Implementation
The AIC’s single box solution simplifies service providers’ network management processes. It also
streamlines the installation of a solution for contact closure alarms because it reduces the number of
external elements required to carry out such a function. This is especially beneficial to competitive local
exchange carriers (CLECs) entering into a central office co-location situation where space is at a
premium.
