David,
 
The 2611xm has an AIM slot, so can use AIM-CUE in it, not requiring NM-CUE. As to T1, I think you may want to look at some of the CCIE voice lab layouts. The AIM-CUE is for Unity, which isn't necessarily a gateway function. Yes, you could run a MFT from the box if it supports it (ie. 2611xm + aim-cue + nm-hdv + mft-t1)....but not necessarily required. For example, in the layout I've set up, using 3640 w/2x nm-hdv and 2mft-t1 and mft-e1 modules for pstn. br1 and br2 gw's are 1760 and for hq pstn running the 65xx w/6608-t1. All of this stuff can be mix and matched depending on how closely you want to match up to the real lab equipment you will be using. It is a fairly expensive project overall however.

Paul,

I know 2611xm + NM-CUE can do for CUE lab. However the price for one NM-CUE
is over US1000 in ebay. That's why I want to buy AIM-CUE instead of NM-CUE
as it is quite cheaper.

However AIM-CUE is installed inside the router. So how can I connect the
2611xm to other network to simulate the CUE function (is it only need extra
T1 connection or etc).

Please advice.

Thanks

Best Regards
David

David,

I'd spend some time on the CCO to evaluate platform interoperability. As to
your below:
1) AIM-CUE - this is one of two options for Unity express, other option is
the NM-CUE. The AIM-CUE actually goes inside the router platform, it is not
an external exposed module. The 2611XM is the lowest cost AIM supporting
platform afaik
2) router 1760/2811 - the 1760 will not support AIMs, the 1760 will support
native insertion of a VIC to act as low-end gateway. The 2811 will support
both the AIM and MFT, but it is a much more expensive platform
3) NM-HDV + MFT 1T/E1 - the HDV module is only needed if the routing
platform doesn't support native VIC (ie. 26/36xx series routers).

Hi Paul

If I am not getting wrong. For using AIM-CUE

I need to following equipment.

1. AIM-CUE
2. router (1760/2811)
3. NM-HDV + MFT 1T/E1 (for connecting PSTN router)

Am I correct?

Also does 3640 or other router support AIM-CUE?

I know if I use 2811 router, I need to use NM-HDV2 instead NM-HDV, right ?

Thanks

Best Regards
David

David,

The AIM-CUE is a module that will go inside any AIM compatible platform, it
doesn't sit in an NM slot. Either way, for T1/E1 connectivity you will need
either an NM-HDV to carry the MFT-T1/E1 for older platforms or can use the
VIC native to other platforms (ie. 1760/2811, etc)

Hi Paul

Does AIM CUE still have connection T1 port for me to connect to other device
??

David,

The main difference between the AIM-CUE and NM-CUE is capacity and of course
platform compatibility. I have the AIM-CUE in my rack as this is less
problem prone (no hard drive) and easier to procure at lower price point
(Ebay).
