NM-AIC-64, Contact Closure Network Module
The AIC NM is an optional card that expands network management capabilities for customer-defined
alarms. The AIC has its own CPU that communicates with the router and external media through serial
communication channels. The AIC reduces service provider and enterprise operating costs by providing
a flexible, low-cost network solution for migrating existing data communications networks (DCNs) to
IP-based DCNs. The AIC provides its users with a single “box” solution because it can be configured in
the same router along with other Operation, Alarm, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P)
interfaces.

More than one AIC can be installed per router. For example, a Cisco 3662 can have up to five AICs, and
its sixth NM slot can be used for router communication. The Cisco 3640 can have up to three AICs, with
the fourth NM slot reserved for communication, and so forth.

The AIC provides a total of 64 alarm inputs. Eight of the 64 point are software configurable for
measuring either analog inputs or discrete inputs. The remaining 56 points are fixed to measure discrete
points only. The AIC also provides 16 control relay outputs.
measuring either analog inputs or discrete inputs. The remaining 56 points are fixed to measure discrete
points only. The AIC also provides 16 control relay outputs.
The discrete alarm input can be activated through ground or negative battery input. The negative battery
range is -36V to -72V. The analog alarm is software configurable for either DC voltage or current. It can
measure voltage from -60 to 60V or current from 0 to 20mA, but the configurable range is 4 mA to
20mA. The standard 16 control relays can be configured to turn on or turn off an external device.

The AIC's 64 input contact points can control and monitor network elements and other non-intelligent
interfaces, permitting the detection and report of alarms such as the following:
