Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco NIM-PVDM-32 module?
The Cisco NIM-PVDM-32 is a Network Interface Module with a 32-channel Digital Signal Processor (DSP) designed to support voice, fax and video on compatible Cisco ISR routers.
What are the key benefits of NIM-PVDM-32?
NIM-PVDM-32 delivers high-density voice transcoding, scalable DSP resources, low latency and advanced conferencing, enabling up to 32 simultaneous VoIP calls on a single router slot.
Which Cisco routers are compatible with NIM-PVDM-32?
NIM-PVDM-32 is compatible with Cisco ISR 4000, 2900 and 3900 Series routers. Verify your platform’s hardware and software requirements in the Cisco Compatibility Matrix before deployment.
How many concurrent voice calls does NIM-PVDM-32 support?
The NIM-PVDM-32 supports up to 32 concurrent G.711 calls. Codec combinations (e.g., G.729, G.723) may reduce channel count based on DSP resource utilization.
Which voice codecs are supported by NIM-PVDM-32?
NIM-PVDM-32 supports G.711, G.729, G.723, iLBC, G.726, and ClearChannel (transparent) modes, enabling flexible bandwidth optimization and high-quality voice across networks.
Do I need an additional license for NIM-PVDM-32?
No additional license is required for the DSP resources. Ensure your router’s IOS image includes the correct Unified Communications feature set for voice services.
What is the difference between NIM-PVDM-32 and NIM-PVDM-16?
NIM-PVDM-32 doubles DSP capacity versus the 16-channel PVDM, supporting more simultaneous calls and conferencing sessions without occupying additional router slots.
Can NIM-PVDM-32 modules be mixed with other PVDM modules?
Yes. You can mix NIM-PVDM-32 with other NIM PVDM modules in the same router, as long as slot and power capacity are respected per platform guidelines.
How do I install the NIM-PVDM-32 in my router?
Power down the router, insert the NIM-PVDM-32 into an available NIM slot, secure the retaining screws and power up. Verify installation with the 'show inventory' and 'show dspfarm' commands.
How do I monitor NIM-PVDM-32 performance?
Use IOS commands like 'show dspfarm profile', 'show dspfarm session' and SNMP OIDs for DSP metrics. Integrate with Cisco Prime or third-party NMS for real-time monitoring.
Can I use NIM-PVDM-32 for video conferencing?
Yes. NIM-PVDM-32 supports H.323 video and T.120 data conferencing when used with appropriate Cisco IOS Unified Communications features.
What is the power consumption of the NIM-PVDM-32?
Typical power draw is 7.5 watts. Confirm exact power requirements in the hardware installation guide, as consumption may vary by router model and DSP utilization.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of NIM-PVDM-32?
The module measures 9.8 x 2.8 x 0.5 inches (249 x 72 x 12 mm) and weighs approximately 0.15 lbs (70 g), fitting standard NIM slots in ISR platforms.
How do I update the firmware on NIM-PVDM-32?
Firmware updates are delivered via Cisco IOS images. Upgrade your router’s IOS to the latest recommended release, which automatically updates DSP firmware at boot.
What warranty and support options are available for NIM-PVDM-32?
Cisco offers a limited lifetime warranty and optional SMARTnet® support for software updates, hardware replacement and 24/7 technical assistance.
Where can I purchase NIM-PVDM-32 and access technical resources?
Purchase through Cisco authorized partners or the Cisco online store. Access datasheets, configuration guides and support documents on the Cisco website or Cisco TAC portal.
