Cisco Router Web Set-Up Tool
Reduced Cost of Operations for Service Providers
Because the Cisco SOHO 78 Router is based on Cisco IOS technology, service providers can leverage their training
and investments in Cisco IOS Software to reduce their overall costs of doing business. With these key management
and troubleshooting features, service providers can cost-effectively deploy and remotely manage the Cisco SOHO 78
Router with the following advantages:
• Cisco IOS manageability, including interactive diagnostics/debugging features
• Familiar Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI)
• Proven reliability and industry-leading support
• Lower deployment costs
Remote Management with Cisco IOS Technology
The Cisco SOHO 78 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 78 Routers.
Additionally, Cisco IOS Software provides many debug features that allow a service provider to diagnose network
problems remotely. For example, the G.SHDSL loop analysis feature provides information gathered remotely on line
quality and data transfer rates, including train speeds for upstream and downstream, bit error rate, margin, and
chipset status, as well bits per frequency bin.
The Cisco SOHO 78 Series routers support centralized administration and management via Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), Telnet, or local management through the router console port. Additionally, the
world-class support offered by the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) provides unparalleled support services.
