As companies adapt to the Internet economy, they need a communications solution that enables them to migrate their communications to a converged IP infrastructure while maintaining the investment protection of their existing analog telephone devices. The Cisco ICS 7750 Multiservice Route Processor (MRP) MRP3-8FXS card brings businesses a cost-effective way to connect existing business communications devices like fax machines, analog phones, and teleconferencing devices to their converged IP network.The Cisco MRP3-8FXS is a high-density foreign exchange station (FXS) voice-gateway card built from industry-proven Cisco hardware and Cisco IOS Software technology to support both digital and analog voice trunks and station interfaces. The Cisco MRP3-8FXS offers eight FXS ports along with one modular voice interface card/WAN interface card (VIC/WIC) slot. This card provides you with the FXS density and flexibility to support the analog business communications devices in your offices.Each Cisco MRP3-8FXS card has one modular slot that accepts existing Cisco VICs and WICs. This slot provides the same VIC and WIC support available on the Cisco 1750/1, 2600, and 3600 routers, allowing you to build upon current Cisco networks while maintaining interoperability and consistent end-to-end service between locations. This is particularly important when networking an enterprise branch office throughout a distributed enterprise network.
