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

ManagementProtocol (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

Serviceproviders 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 uninterruptedservice with traditional WAN

servicessuch asT1 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.
