Can a 7120-4T1 use a DSL modem as WAN?

[Atometron]

Hi Folks, I am trying to figure out if a Cisco 7120-4T1 can be used as a VPN router with a regular DSL modem with an ethernet WAN output. The 7120-4T1 seems to have only 4 T1 WAN ports stock, but if I add the PA2-FE-TX is that configurable as a WAN port or only for LAN? Thanks for your help & happy holidays!

I' guessing you must already have one of these as I thought Cisco had ended their interest in them. Anyway, I've only seen one of these once and as I recall they come with 2 Fast Ethernet interfaces so I'm not sure you need any additional modules for Ethernet connectivity.

That said, you can choose to use the Ethernet modules for any purpose you want (LAN or WAN). You don't have to use the Ethernets for LAN and similarly you don't have to use the serials at all if you don't want to.
