New Wic in a 2811 not dectected

[dips00]

Hi,
I installed a new WIC (vers.2) in 2811 but I do not see a serial port available to configure. I restarted, still no luck.

Sho Diag does see the wic installed. I tried moving it a another slot but the same thing.

Do the wic's need to be "activated" or something?

Hi,
I had a simular problem with an eBay bought router (1760) not recognising the built in fastethernet interface. Found my problem to be the IOS, it was the wrong feature set. Check to see if your IOS upports the 1MFT-E1/T1.

Cheers,
Dave

Just verified, the vwic is supported by the 2811.

For anyone with a similar issue, here are the commands to "activate" the port:

conf t
Configure "card-type T1 2"
Then "controller T1 2/0".

Thanks,
