CISCO 1700 FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The Cisco 1700 Series supports the value of end-to-end
Cisco network solutions with the following benefits:
-
Flexibility - The modular Cisco 1750 adapts easily to fit
the needs of businesses. Interchangeable WAN interface
cards enable easy additions or changes in WAN
technologies without requiring a forklift upgrade of the
entire platform. Modular data and voice slots enable
users to tailor data and voice services as needed. With
the ability to use the same field-upgradeable WAN and
voice interface cards across multiple Cisco access router
platforms, the Cisco 1750 reduces requirements for spare
parts inventory and support training. In addition, the
autosensing 10/100BaseT Ethernet port enables easy
migration to high-speed local networks.
-
Multiservice Access - For businesses that have data
networking needs today and want to integrate multiservice
data/voice/video/fax capabilities now or in the future,
the Cisco 1750 offers a flexible, cost-effective answer.
The Cisco 1750 enables network managers to save on
long-distance interoffice billing costs and interoperates
with next-generation voice-enabled applications such as
integrated messaging and Web-based call centers. The
Cisco 1750 works with the existing telephone
infrastructure - phones, fax machines, key telephone
systems (KTS) units, and PBX - minimizing capital costs.
-
Lower Cost Of Ownership - The Cisco 1750 router provides
a complete solution for integrated voice and data access
in a single product, eliminating the need to install and
maintain a large number of separate devices. You can
combine optional functions, including a voice gateway,
dynamic firewall, VPN tunnel server, DSU/CSU, ISDN
network termination-1 (NT1) device, and more to reduce
deployment and management costs. This solution can be
managed remotely using network management applications
such as CiscoWorks and CiscoView or any SNMP-based
management tool.
-
Investment Protection - The Cisco 1750 RISC architecture,
Cisco IOS software, and modular slots provide solid
investment protection to companies that want a platform
that offers data connectivity today and an easy migration
path to implement services such as multiservice
data/voice/video integration, VPNs, and broadband
communications in the near future. A slot on the 1700
series motherboard offers the ability to support future
hardware-assisted data encryption at T1/E1 speeds.
