Configuring a Single-Port Ethernet WIC on a Cisco 1700 Series Router

Software Requirements
The Cisco WIC-1ENET card requires Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XJ or later if the card is installed in any WIC slot other than slot 0 or if more than one card is installed.
The card can be used with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T, but the card must be installed in slot 0 and only one Cisco WIC-1ENET card can be installed in the router.
Caveats for All Cisco WIC-1ENET Cards
This section provides the latest information about using a Cisco WIC-1ENET card when the router is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XJ or higher.
•If the Cisco WIC-1ENET is used with an IOS image that does not support it and if the Link LED does not light, an error message appears, indicating an unrecognized WIC. This does not damage the router or the Cisco WIC-1ENET card. The error message is "00:00:05: %PQUICC-1-UNKNOWN_WIC: PQUICC(0), WIC card has an unknown ID of 0xFF."
•The router cannot use TFTP over the Cisco WIC-1ENET Ethernet connection until the router completes the boot process.
•This interface is not supported in the ROM Monitor; therefore, a TFTP download cannot be performed by using the interface in ROM Monitor mode. The 10/100 Ethernet interface supports TFTP download in ROM monitor mode. We suggest connecting the FE interface to the side of the network that provides the image.
•If two Cisco WIC-1ENET cards are installed, the first detected card will be "interface Ethernet 0", regardless of the slot position. If one of the Cisco WIC-1ENET cards is later removed, be sure to remove the card from slot 1, so that the card in slot 0 will continue to be detected.
Caveats for Cisco WIC-1ENET Cards in Routers Running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T
This section provides the latest information about using a Cisco WIC-1ENET card when the router is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T.
•Only one Cisco WIC-1ENET can be installed in a Cisco 1720 or Cisco 1750 series router.
•Inserting the Cisco WIC-1ENET into slot 1 or slot 2 does not damage the router or the Cisco WIC-1ENET.
•The Cisco WIC-1ENET can be installed only in slot 0 of the Cisco 1720 or Cisco 1750 series router. If a Cisco WIC-1ENET is inserted in slot 1, an error message appears when the router is booted, and the interface is not available. The Link LED also does not light, because the IOS does not attempt any interaction when the Cisco WIC-1ENET is in an unsupported slot.
