Introduction

The Cisco ICS 7750 is an all-in-one solution that enables you to migrate from a circuit-switched network to an IP telephony network. The Cisco ICS 7750 is a six-universal-slot, industry-grade chassis system. Each universal slot accepts a router/gateway or single-board computer card to address the widest range of data and voice connectivity and application needs.

By deploying the Cisco ICS 7750 with quality of service (QoS)–enabled Catalyst series switches, you can choose the switching solution that best meets your needs.

The Cisco ICS 7750 also supports the Cisco IP Phone 7900 series, a new generation of display-based intelligent communication devices that can be powered from Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches, an integrated Catalyst switch card, or the Catalyst inline power patch panel.

Figure 1-1shows the Cisco ICS 7750 chassis with two Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches.
