Cisco Systems 77H manual Power of Cisco IOS Software Remote Management, Proven Reliability

Cisco Configuration Express allows service providers to order pre-configured SOHO 77H routers and have them shipped directly to the customer site. End users simply enter user name and password to complete the installation.

The Power of Cisco IOS Software

Remote Management

The Cisco SOHO 77H Router incorporates the same Cisco IOS technologies used by service providers and enterprises, allowing service providers to use existing knowledge of Cisco IOS software to reduce training costs when configuring, installing, and deploying Cisco SOHO 77H ADSL routers.

Additionally, Cisco IOS software provides many debug features that allow a service provider to remotely diagnose network problems. For example, the ADSL loop analysis feature provides information gathered remotely to analyze line quality and data transfer rates, including train speeds for upstream and downstream, bit error rate, margin, chipset status, as well bits per frequency bin.

The Cisco SOHO 77H Series routers support centralized administration and management via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), HTTP, Telnet, or local management through the router console port. In addition, the world-class support offered by the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) provides unparalleled support services.

Managed Network Services with Cisco IOS Software

Service providers can offer small business and enterprise telecommuters managed network or Internet access with the Cisco SOHO 77H Router, providing service level agreement (SLAs) and guaranteed response times. SLAs can be a critical requirement in serving the business market that is accustomed to uninterrupted service with traditional WAN services such as T1 lines or Frame Relay. When deploying business services with multiple Cisco SOHO 77H Routers, service providers can use tools to provision and monitor these services. The Cisco SOHO 77H Router supports the SA Agent feature in Cisco IOS Software that enables the monitoring of SLAs all the way to the customer site.

Proven Reliability

Because Cisco SOHO 77H ADSL router is based on the same proven Cisco IOS technology used on 80 percent of the Internet and because Cisco IOS software is the industry standard application for mission-critical enterprise networks, SOHO customers can depend on them well into the future.
