Cisco 1800 Series (Cisco 1861 Router Modular) Benefits and Advantages continued Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router. With the Cisco 1861, you can securely deploy data, voice, and IP telephony on a single platform for your small to medium-sized branch offices, helping them streamline their operations and lower their network costs. As the enterprise extends its IP telephony deployments from central sites to remote offices, one of the critical factors in achieving a successful deployment is the ability to support backup call control at the remote branch office. Cisco Unified SRST provides a cost-effective solution for supporting redundant call control in the remote branch office.. Cisco Unity Express The optional embedded Cisco Unity Express helps enable voicemail, desktop messaging, and Automated-Attendant services for increased customer service and rich employee communications experience. Cisco Unified CallConnectors for Desktop Applications The Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router integrates with common Windows desktop applications to give small business owners access to productivity gains once available only to large businesses. With Cisco Unified CallConnectors, you can integrate your Cisco Unified IP phones with common applications, including Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, or Salesforce.com CRM. Secure Network Connectivity for Data, Voice, and Video Security has become a fundamental element of any network. Routers play an important role in any network defense strategy because security needs to be embedded throughout the network. The Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router features advanced, integrated, end-to-end security for the delivery of converged services and applications. With the optional Cisco IOS Software Advanced IP Services feature set, the Cisco 1861 provides a robust array of common security features such as a Cisco IOS Software Firewall, intrusion prevention, IPsec VPN, SSL VPN, advanced application inspection and control, Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Version 2.0, and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) in one secure solution set. Additionally, by integrating security functions directly into the router itself, Cisco can provide unique intelligent security solutions other security devices cannot, such as Network Admissions Control (NAC) for antivirus defense; Voice and Video Enabled VPN (V3PN) for quality of service (QoS) enforcement when combining voice, video, and VPN; and Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), Group Encrypted Transport (GET) VPN, and Easy VPN for enabling more scalable and manageable VPN networks. As Figure 4 demonstrates, a Cisco 1861 uniquely helps customers deliver concurrent, mission-critical data, voice, and video applications with integrated, end-to-end security at wire-speed performance. LAN Switching The Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router has an integrated, managed Ethernet switch that provides 8 ports of 10/100 PoE. Additionally, the system capacity can be expanded by connecting the recommended Cisco Catalyst portfolio of switches. Platform Features and Benefits The Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router is an all-in-one unified communications solution that integrates voice, data, video, and security into one platform. It brings unified communications to SMBs and enterprise small branch offices by providing a simplified, affordable solution that is easy to configure, deploy, and manage. By combining call control, messaging, and security into one device, the Cisco 1861 eliminates the added costs of multiple servers and provides a solution that is easy to set up and manage at a lower price point. Platform Overview Cisco 1800 Series (Cisco 1861 Router Modular) Features Details Solution Packaging • Both foreign exchange office (FXO) and Basic Rate Interface (BRI) fixed configurations are offered for both Cisco Unified CME + Cisco Unity Express and Cisco Unified SRST applications. • Each configuration is equipped with the appropriate number of feature licenses for call processing and voicemail, simplifying the product structure. • The appropriate number of fixed digital signal processors (DSPs) is packaged with each configuration. Modularity • A high-speed WIC (HWIC) slot is available for data WAN integration through a select list of HWICs. • The default Cisco IOS Software image SP Services K9 can be upgraded to optional advanced images. Ethernet Connectivity with QoS • Ethernet connectivity is provided for IP phones or wireless access points by PoE ports that provide connectivity speeds for up to 100BASE-T Ethernet technology without the need for additional power modules. Most Cisco Unified IP phones include a 10/100 switch with QoS to provide PC desktop connectivity to the network. • Optimized QoS is provided for IP phone and desktop configurations. The QoS level helps ensure that voice over IP (VoIP) traffic takes precedence. • Voice and data traffic travels in preconfigured VLANs • Port security is provided to limit unauthorized access to the network. Power Failover • A power failover feature is provided on the base configuration, giving access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) lines in case of a power outage. When power is lost, FXO PSTN trunks are directly connected to foreign exchange station (FXS) analog ports, allowing for calls to be placed and received. Recorded Announcements for Callers: Music on Hold (MOH) • The process for providing customized MOH announcements is simplified with a dedicated MOH port, allowing small-business owners to play recorded announcements to their callers by simply plugging the audio source into the provided 3.5 mm mini-jack. • Customers can also use wave files stored on flash memory. • MOH is an audio stream that is played to PSTN and VoIP G.711 or G.729 callers who are placed on hold by the phone user. This audio reassures the callers that they are still connected to the called party. Deployment Options • The Cisco 1861 can be deployed as a desktop unit, wall-mounted, or installed in a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack with an optional rack-mount kit. 60 61
