ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

2900 Series XL specifications

Cisco Systems 2900 Series XL routers are integral components of the Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR) portfolio, designed to support various networking needs for small to medium-sized enterprises. These routers provide an extensive set of features tailored for voice, video, data, and wireless services, making them a versatile choice for organizations looking to streamline their network infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the 2900 Series XL is its modularity. This router is equipped with multiple interface card slots that allow users to customize and scale their network based on current and future requirements. The modular design offers flexibility in integrating various WAN interfaces such as T1/E1, DSL, and Ethernet, enabling businesses to adapt to changing connectivity needs without requiring a complete hardware overhaul.

The 2900 Series XL also supports a wide range of advanced security features. With integrated security protocols, such as firewall capabilities, Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), and Virtual Private Network (VPN) support, these routers ensure that sensitive company data remains protected against potential threats. Furthermore, the routers come with Cisco’s Adaptive Security Algorithm, which helps to detect and mitigate real-time attacks.

Another significant characteristic of the Cisco 2900 Series XL is its support for unified communications. The routers have built-in voice capabilities, allowing them to function as a voice gateway. This facilitates features like VoIP (Voice over IP), video conferencing, and even multimedia communication. These tools enhance collaboration and connectivity among team members, contributing to a more productive work environment.

The 2900 Series XL routers also include Cisco's IOS Software, which provides a robust operating system with a rich set of features for routing, switching, and security functions. The software is continually updated to ensure the routers remain compatible with the latest technology and security standards, thereby extending their functionality and lifespan.

In terms of performance, the 2900 Series XL routers are designed for high throughput and low latency, making them suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications. Their architecture supports services such as advanced Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic shaping, ensuring that mission-critical applications receive the bandwidth priority they require.

Ultimately, Cisco's 2900 Series XL routers represent a reliable, flexible solution for organizations looking to enhance their networking capabilities. With their exceptional features, comprehensive security options, and support for diverse applications and services, they play a crucial role in the modern digital landscape.
