Connecting a 2513 and 2610 router

My 2610 router has a T1 DSU/CSU connector and my 2513 router just has the regular serial connectors. Is there anyway I can connect these two routers together?

Get a WIC-1T for the 2600 or use a Cat5 crossover cable.

I know I can get a WIC-1T, but trying to see if there was some type of connector. How would a crossover cable help me if the 2501 has WIC-1T and the 2610 has a T1? The crossover can't connect to the WIC-1T.

j-man

Be done with it and get the WIC-1T. The only way you'll get two T-1 DSU/CSU to work is with a crossover. If one of the devices does not have the other connector, you are out of luck. I think. Someone may prove me wrong. It won't be the first time.

Ethernet crossover, not serial crossover.
