with private network addresses. Unlike a DSL modem, which allows only a single PC to connect to the Internet at a
time, the CiscoSOHO 77H ADSL routere allows multiple PCs to connect to the Internet simultaneously. The SOHO
77Hrouter includes an integrated four port Ethernet hub to allow up to four devices to connect directly to the router.

Business Class Security with Stateful Inspection Firewall
With DSL’salways-on connection network security is essential. The Cisco SOHO 77H ADSL router enables service
providers to offer true business class security with a stateful inspection firewall that helps protect users from
unauthorized access from hackers allowing friendly traffic to pass through while stopping unwanted traffic at the
firewall. A stateful firewall denies or permits WAN traffic based on a session’s state, so requests from users behind
the firewall can be received, while preventing unauthorized access.
If an intruder attempts to gain access to the network through the SOHO 77H Router and is rejected the firewall
tracks the user through an audit trail. This audit trail can then help identify an attack in progress and locate an
intruder to prevent future attempts. In addition, the firewall uses NATto hide internal IP addresses from the outside
world to further keep the network secure.
Easy Set Up and Deployment
The Cisco SOHO 77H Router includes the Cisco Router Web Set up tool (CRWS), a web based configuration tool
that allows users to quickly self-install the router without knowledge of Cisco IOS software. Because CRWSis web
based, no additional software needs to be installed on a user’s PC. They simply point a browser to the router and
follow a few simple sets to quickly get the router up and running.
