1 AUI = attachment unit interface.
2 ISDN = Integrated Services Digital Network.
3 BRI = Basic Rate Interface.
4 A CPA2515 model is not available.


Note Throughout the remainder of the publication, one model number will be used in text references. For example, references to the model 2501 router will apply to both the Cisco 2501 and CPA2501 routers.


Hardware Features

In addition to the interfaces listed in Table 1-1, the routers include the following hardware features:


Note EIA/TIA-232 and EIA/TIA-449 were known as recommended standards RS-232 and RS-449 before their acceptance as standards by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
