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
Management Protocol (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
Service providers 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 uninterrupted service with traditional WAN
services such as T1 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.
