Router connections

Hello to all,

Can anyone help me or answer if there's a way to connect a 2600 router with two WIC-1DSU T1 to my other router (2500) with serial?

I got the 2600 router from ebay in a cheap price and also planning to use it to connect to the internet. Can I connect this router directly to my cable modem?

Thank you.

You need to get a WIC-1T or WIC-2T card for the 2600 and the relevant cables.

The WIC t1 is a T1 lol and the 2500 serial is a DB60 cable, both are wan ports but different layer 1 protocols. The 2600 router has ethernet ports that you can use for your cable modem. You will probably have to set up NAT with overload and you would need another ethernet port to hook up to your switch. Depending on what 2600 model if it has 1 or 2 ethernet ports. HTH

You could pick up a csu/dsu and a V.35 dot db60 serial cable for the 2500. Then use a T1 crossover cable between the CSU/DSU and the 2600 router.

Thanks for the reply, maybe I will get a csu/dsu to connect them as your advice
