6 C H A P T E R Wireless Mobile Interface Cards The Cisco Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) is a Cisco 3200 Series router interface card in a standard PC/104-Plus form factor. It is one component of the Cisco 3200 Series routers and provides a wireless interface with the following: • 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 are available only in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute [ETSI] domain.) Caution The 4.9 GHz (public safety) radio requires an operators license and can be operated only by US Public Safety operators who meet the requirements specified under FCC Part 90.20. This chapter provides basic information about the WMIC hardware for performing simple troubleshooting, such as reconnecting a loose cable. To solve more difficult problems, contact your vendor. WMIC Component Systems The ISA buses and PCI buses on the Cisco 3200 Series router cards provide power to the components on the cards. The WMIC does not receive or transmit communications signals on either bus, but it will pass signals through the bus to a card above or below the WMIC. Both buses comply with the PC/104-Plus standard. The PCI bus signals allow the Cisco cards to communicate. Non-Cisco cards cannot communicate with the 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. Do not add non-Cisco cards that generate signals on the PCI bus.
