Vigor NIC 132 is an internal PCIe modem. Its basic port is RJ-11 which supports both VDSL2/ADSL2+ connections. It can be used either as a primary network router, or else as a failover backup one for uninterrupted network access in case of a failure in the primary equipment. It’s very low power consumption (no more than 6 Watts) is a great advantage for situations when the server or the call center are obliged to work for a long time amid power failure.

The card also offers a second WAN port, which can be either an RJ45 one, or an SFP( NIC 132F product version). For easy diagnosis of the operation status, 132 features all the necessary leds next to the ports.

As far as the installation is concerned, no special technical knowledge or experience is needed. All you have to do, is download the latest firmware version. The management is being implemented by it’s Web Interface, which is the same with the other Draytek Routers. A very important feature of NIC 132 , is the Multi-PVC support, which is needed for double/triple play applications.
