Service Modules Service Modules (SM) are the largest modules on Cisco 2900 series and Cisco 3900 series ISRs. With the largest form-factor and power capacity, these modules deliver high-performance service applications. SMs are physically larger than legacy network modules, as a result, network modules require an adapter for installation.

1. On the Cisco 2901 router, the numbering format for configuring an asynchronous interface is 0/slot/port. To configure the line associated with an asynchronous interface, use the interface number to specify the async line. For example, line 0/1/0 specifies the line associated with interface serial 0/1/0 on a WIC-2A/S in slot 1.
