HWIC-1B-U Use Case

Remote Branch Office WAN Connectivity with ISDN BRI Backup

A mid-market retailer deploys the HWIC-1B-U-1-Port ISDN BRI U High-Speed WAN Interface Card in Cisco 2900 Series routers at 50 remote outlets. Primary IP VPN over DSL delivers daily transaction data; the ISDN BRI interface provides automatic dial-up failover on link loss. Outcome: 99.9% uptime SLA, seamless order processing, and centralized network management without additional hardware.

Legacy PBX Integration for Voice and Data Convergence

An insurance firm integrates its ISDN PBX system with a unified Cisco router using the HWIC-1B-U-1-Port ISDN BRI U High-Speed WAN Interface Card. The card bridges legacy voice channels to VoIP trunks, enabling centralized SIP routing and QoS enforcement across MPLS links. Benefit: reduced capital expenditure, streamlined voice provisioning, and consistent call quality under a single network infrastructure.

Secure Emergency IP Fallback for Critical Infrastructure

A government utility operator configures the HWIC-1B-U-1-Port ISDN BRI U High-Speed WAN Interface Card on Cisco ISR routers at SCADA sites. In the event of primary fiber or microwave failure, the card establishes an encrypted ISDN BRI tunnel to the control center. Result: guaranteed emergency connectivity, rapid failover in under 30 seconds, and compliance with regulatory uptime mandates.

The Cisco HWIC-1B-U is a 1-port ISDN BRI U high-speed WAN interface card designed to provide up to 128 Kbps connectivity for Cisco ISR routers.

Which Cisco routers support the HWIC-1B-U module?

The HWIC-1B-U is compatible with Cisco ISR G2 series routers, including the 1841, 2801–2811, 3825–3845, and 2921–2951 platforms.

What data rates does the HWIC-1B-U ISDN BRI U card achieve?

This interface card supports two 64 Kbps B-channels aggregated to deliver a total of 128 Kbps synchronous data throughput.

What are the physical interface requirements of HWIC-1B-U?

The HWIC-1B-U provides a single RJ-45 U-reference ISDN BRI port and requires one HWIC slot in supported Cisco routers.

How do I install the HWIC-1B-U in my router?

Power down your ISR router, insert the HWIC-1B-U into an available HWIC slot, secure with captive screws, then power up and verify with the show hw module command.

How do I configure the ISDN BRI U interface on Cisco IOS?

Use global configuration mode: interface bri0/0; encapsulation ppp; isdn switch-type national; dialer pool-member 1; and dialer-group <X> to enable BRI U.
