in CCNA & CCENT
I've installed a HWIC-1T1/E1 card into a Cisco 1861 router. If I do a sho inv it shows the card in the system...
ROUTER#sho invNAME: "C1861-SRST-F/K9 Chassis", DESCR: "C1861-SRST-F/K9 Chassis"
PID: C1861-SRST-F/K9 , VID: V01, SN: xxxxxxxxxx

NAME: "1 port (2 channel) T1/E1 HWIC in DaughterCard Slot 2", DESCR: "1 port (2 channel) T1/E1 HWIC"
PID: HWIC-1T1/E1 , VID: V01 , SN: xxxxxxxxxx
ROUTER#

If I do a sho run it doesn't list and Serial or T1 interfaces... sho controllers t1 or show controllers serial and it doesn't show anything either.
ROUTER#sho ver
Cisco IOS Software, C1861 Software (C1861-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 15.1(4)GC1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
... [lines omitted]
System image file is "flash:c1861-advipservicesk9-mz.151-4.GC1.bin"


What am I missing here? The 1861s do have a limitied about or cards they support but this specific model is supported per Cisco product documentation.

    Sounds like the card is not configured. Since the card can be either T1 or E1 the show commands will not work until you define the card type and configure the controller.

    To select the card type:
    conf t
    card type t1 (or) e1 ---> depending on your application

    Heres a link to the cisco doc configuration page so you can configure it anyway you see fit:

    Wow - I thought it would be like other devices where it just comes into the config as admin down and go from there. Thanks I'll check it out when I get home and let you know.

    Not a problem I found that when I was configuring T1/E1 cards on a 7200VXR. First thing I thought that the cards aren't working icon_redface.gif

    I don't have a hwic card handy to make sure but on a VWIC2-MTF1-E1 it should be a similar configuration on the HWIC

    To configure the card for T1 you can do something like this:
    en
    conf t


    card type t1 0 0
    controller t1 0/0/0


    channel-group 0 timeslot 1-24
    framing esf


    int s0/0/0:0
    ip add 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
    no shut

    Unfortunately I found out that the VIC/VWIC cards are not compatible with 1861 models, only HWIC cards icon_cry.gif - but I'll try it out with the HWIC and see how it goes.
