Cisco 1600 Series Routers
The Cisco 1600 series of access routers deliver the next-generation set of features and benefits for small-office Internet and intranet access: WAN flexibility, end-to-end security, end-to-end quality of service, ease of use, deployment, and management. Cisco 1600 series routers connect small offices with Ethernet LANs to the public Internet and to a company-internal intranet or corporate LAN through several WAN connections such as ISDN, asynchronous serial, and synchronous serial. Cisco 1600 series routers include the following models: the Cisco 1601, Cisco 1602, Cisco 1603, and Cisco 1604.
All Cisco 1600 series models include one Ethernet port, one built-in WAN port, and one WAN interface card expansion slot for additional connectivity and flexibility. The Cisco 1601 includes a built-in serial WAN port; the Cisco 1602 has an onboard 56-kbps four-wire data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU); the Cisco 1603 has an ISDN BRI S/T port; and the Cisco 1604 includes an ISDN BRI U interface with a built-in NT1 device.
The following are 1-port WAN interface cards supported by the Cisco 1600 series routers:
•Serial
•ISDN BRI with S/T interface
•ISDN BRI with NT1 and U interface

Cisco IOS Feature Sets for Cisco 1600 Series Routers
The Cisco IOS software is packaged into "feature sets" (also called "software images"). There are many different feature sets available, and each feature set contains a specific subset of Cisco IOS features. The following conventions are used to identify feature sets:
•Plus: a value-added option that contains a variable set of additional features depending on the hardware platform selected
•Plus 40: a value-added option that contains a variable set of additional features depending on the hardware platform selected, including 40-bit data encryption
•Plus 56: a value-added option that contains a variable set of additional features depending on the hardware platform selected, including 56-bit data encryption
Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to, 56-bit DES) are subject to U.S. government export controls and have a limited distribution. Images to be installed outside the U.S. require an export license. Customer orders might be denied or subject to delay due to U.S. government regulations. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send e-mail to export@cisco.com.
The following list shows which feature sets are supported on the Cisco 1600 series routers and access servers. These feature sets only apply to Cisco IOS Release 11.3:
•IP
•IP Plus
•IP Plus 40
•IP Plus 56
•IP/IPX
•IP/IPX Plus
•IP/IPX/AT/IBM
•IP/IPX/AT/IBM Plus

Upgrading to a New Software Release
If you are upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 11.3 from an earlier Cisco IOS software release, you should save your current configuration file before configuring your access server with the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 software. An unrecoverable error could occur during download or configuration.
Note Before downloading a software upgrade, read Product Bulletin #703, Cisco IOS Software Release Upgrade Paths and Packaging Simplification. The information in this bulletin supersedes the following instructions.
For instructions on downloading a current Cisco IOS release from the CCO Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server, go to the following URL. This URL is subject to change without notice.
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center
The Software Center window is displayed.
Step 1 Click Cisco IOS Software. The Cisco IOS Software window is displayed.
Step 2 Click Cisco IOS 11.3. The Cisco 11.3 Software Upgrade Planner window is displayed.
Step 3 Click Download Cisco IOS 11.3 Software. The Software Checklist window is displayed.
Step 4 Select the appropriate information in each section of the Software Checklist window.
•Hardware
•Release
•Software and hardware release
Step 5 Click Execute. The software release is downloaded to your desktop computer.
Step 6 Transfer the software release to a local TFTP server on your network, using a terminal emulation application such as TCP Connect.
Step 7 Log onto your router. Copy the software release from your TFTP server to your router, using the copy tftp command.
Memory Requirements
Table 2 describes the memory requirements for the Cisco 1600 series platform feature set supported by Cisco IOS Release 11.3. For Cisco routers to take advantage of the Release 11.3 features, you must upgrade the code or main system memory. Some platforms have specific chip or architecture requirements that affect what can be upgraded and in what increments.
