CHAPTER6-1Cisco 3200 Series Router Hardware ReferenceOL-5816-096Wireless Mobile Interface Cards (WMICs)The Cisco Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) is a Cisco 3200 Series router interface card in astandard PC/104-Plus form factor.It is one component of the Cisco 3200 Series routers and provides a wireless interface:•2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) – Cisco 3201•4.9 GHz (public safety) – Cisco 3202•5.0 GHz (802.11h) – Cisco 3205 (The C3205WMIC-K9 and C3205WMIC-TP-K9 WMICs areavailable only in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute [ETSI] domain.)Caution The 4.9 GHz (public safety) radio requires an operators license and can only be operated by US PublicSafety operators who meet the requirements specified under FCC Part 90.20.This chapter provides basic information about the WMIC hardware for the purpose of performing simpletroubleshooting, such as reconnecting a loose cable. To solve more difficult problems, please contactyour vendor.WMIC Component SystemsThe ISA buses and PCI buses on the Cisco 3200 Series router cards provide power to the componentson the cards. The WMIC does not receive or transmit communications signals on either bus, but it willpass signals through the bus to a card above or below the WMIC. Both buses comply with thePC/104-Plus standard.The PCI bus signals allow the Cisco cards to communicate. Non-Cisco cards cannot communicate withthe Cisco 3200 Series Router cards over the PCI bus.Caution If you add non-Cisco cards that generates signals on the PCI bus, the router might shut down. Please donot add non-Cisco cards that generate signals on the PCI bus.
6-2Cisco 3200 Series Router Hardware Reference OL-5816-09Chapter 6 Wireless Mobile Interface Cards (WMICs)Figure 6-1 shows the WMIC header and bus locations.Figure 6-1 WMIC Header and Bus LocationsNote The PC/104-Plus standard requires that the PCI bus and the ISA bus utilize keying features in thestandard stacking headers to guarantee proper module installation. On the PCI bus, pin D30 is removedand the D30 opening is plugged. On the ISA bus, pin C19 and pin B10 are removed, and the C19 andB10 openings are plugged.Antenna ConnectorOn the radio card, there are two ultra-miniature coaxial connectors (U.FL connector) that are used toconnect the coax cables between the WMIC and the external antenna connectors. Two connectors areused to support antenna diversity.The cable should be as short as possible to minimize the loss in strength of the radio frequency (RF)signal. The cable carries the RF signal from the antenna to the low noise amplifier (LNA) on the receiverand transmits the RF signal from power amplifier (PA) to the antenna that radiates the RF signal.There are many antenna connector families. The Cisco RP-TNC antenna connector can be used tosupport standard antennas.WMIC Console and Fast Ethernet PortsCisco 3200 Series router cards do not support any ISA bus signals. The PCI bus connector supportscommunication between Cisco 3200 Series router card and the Fast Ethernet Switch Mobile InterfaceCard (FESMIC) and Serial Mobile Interface Card (SMIC).In a Cisco rugged enclosure, the WMIC communicates with the router through the WMIC Fast Ethernetinterface. The WMIC Fast Ethernet ports are connected internally to Fast Ethernet ports that provide acommunications link with the router.1PCI bus 2Left antenna connector (J2)3Right antenna connector (J1) 4ISA bus510-pin Fast Ethernet header 624-pin multifunction header103981421356
6-3Cisco 3200 Series Router Hardware ReferenceOL-5816-09Chapter 6 Wireless Mobile Interface Cards (WMICs)The WMIC interfaces are configured through a WMIC console port. In contrast, the Serial MobileInterface Card (SMIC) and FESMIC communicate with the router through the PC/104-Plus bus. Theinterfaces are configured through the router console port, and all of the router and FESMIC Fast Ethernetports are identified by using the slot/port format.The WMIC runs an independent IOS image and when it is configured, the link between the WMIC andthe router forms an internal LAN. In standard configurations, a WMIC Fast Ethernet port is neverbrought out to the end cap.The WMIC console port is brought out to the corresponding RJ-45 port on the I/O end cap, replacing aFast Ethernet port. If the router includes one WMIC, the RS-232 WMIC console port replaces a FastEthernet port on the end cap. If the router includes two WMICs, two WMIC RS-232 console portsreplace two Fast Ethernet ports on the end cap.Note Currently, even if the router contains zero WMICs, in standard configurations a maximum of three FastEthernet ports are brought out to the end cap. Unused RS-232 ports are sealed.Fast Ethernet Signals on the WMICThe Fast Ethernet signals are delivered through a 10-pin header. LED signals and RS-232 console signalsare provided through the 24-pin multifunction header.There is one set of fixed Fast Ethernet signals on the WMIC. The Fast Ethernet port signals are incompliance with IEEE 802.3. They are provided through the Ethernet headers, which support thefollowing:•Auto-negotiation for 10/100BASE-TX connection•Full-duplex and half-duplex modes•Low-power sleep mode•10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX using a single Ethernet connection•Robust baseline wander correction performance•Standard carrier signal multiple access collision detect (CSMA/CD) or full-duplex operation•Integrated LED driversNote If Auto-MDIX is disabled, when connecting to Ethernet switches or repeaters a straight-through cablecan be used. When connecting to compatible workstations, servers, and routers, a crossover cable shouldbe used. If Auto-MDIX is enabled, either a straight-through or crossover cable can be used can be usedto make the connection, as the router automatically changes the signals on the pins to compensate.

Steady green indicates that the wireless device isassociated with at least one wireless client. Blinking green indicates that the wireless device isoperating normally but is not associated with any wireless devices.•The radio indicator blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but itblinks whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the radio.•The Ethernet indicator signals traffic on the wired LAN. This indicator is normally green when anEthernet cable is connected, and blinks green when a packet is received or transmitted over theEthernet infrastructure. The indicator is off when the Ethernet cable is not connected.Table 6-1 shows the details of LED behavior.Table 6-1 Indicator SignalsMessagetype Ethernetindicator Statusindicator Radioindicator MeaningBoot loaderstatus Green – Green DRAM memory test.– Amber Red Board initialization test.– Blinkinggreen Blinkinggreen Flash memory test.Amber Green – Ethernet initialization test.Green Green Green Starting Cisco IOS software.Associationstatus – Green – At least one wireless client device isassociated with the unit.– Blinkinggreen – No client devices are associated; check thewireless device SSID and WEP settings.Operatingstatus – Green Blinkinggreen Transmitting/receiving radio packets.Green – – Ethernet link is operational.Blinkinggreen – – Transmitting/receiving Ethernet packets.Boot LoaderErrors Red – Red DRAM memory test failure.– Red Red File system failure.Red Red – Ethernet failure during image recovery.Amber Green Amber Boot environment error.Red Green Red No Cisco IOS image file.Amber Amber Amber Boot failure.
