Secure Network Connectivity for Data, Voice, and Video
Security has become a fundamental building block of any network. Routers play an important role in any network defense strategy because security needs to be embedded throughout the network. The Cisco 2800 Series features advanced, integrated, end-to-end security for the delivery of converged services and applications. With the Cisco IOS Software Advanced Security feature set, the Cisco 2800 provides a robust array of common security features such as a Cisco IOS Software Firewall, intrusion prevention, IPSec VPN, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) VPN, advanced application inspection and control, Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol Version 2.0, and Simple Network Management Protocol (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. In addition, Cisco offers a range of security acceleration hardware such as the intrusion-prevention network modules and advanced integration modules (AIM) for encryption, making the Cisco 2800 Series the industry's most robust and adaptable security solution available for branch offices. As Figure 2 demonstrates, using a Cisco 2800 Series uniquely enables customers to deliver concurrent, mission-critical data, voice, and video applications with integrated, end-to-end security at wire-speed performance.
Converged IP Communications
As shown in Figure 2, the Cisco 2800 Series can meet the IP Communications needs of small-to-medium sized business and enterprise branch offices while concurrently delivering an industry-leading level of security within a single routing platform. Cisco CallManager Express (CME) is an optional solution embedded in Cisco IOS Software that provides call processing for Cisco IP phones, including wired and cordless WLAN phones. This solution is for customers with data-connectivity requirements interested in deploying a converged IP telephony solution for up to 96 IP phones. With the Cisco 2800 Series, customers can securely deploy data, voice, and IP telephony on a single platform for their small-to-medium sized branch offices, helping them to streamline their operations and lower their network costs. The Cisco 2800 Series with optional Cisco CME support offers a core set of phone features that customers require for their everyday business needs and takes advantage of the wide array of voice capabilities that are embedded in the Cisco 2800 Series (as shown in Table 1) together with optional features available in Cisco IOS Software to provide a robust IP telephony offering for the small to medium-sized branch-office environment.

Wireless Services

The Cisco 2800 Series can provide a complete wireless solution for branch offices, small/medium sized businesses, and Wi-Fi hotspots. Wireless services enable greater mobility for employees, partners, and customers, resulting in increased productivity. The Cisco 2800 Series supports an integrated access point for wireless LAN connectivity, Wi-Fi Hotspot services for public access, wireless infrastructure services for cordless WLAN telephony and for larger sites, and land mobile radio over IP for radio users.

Integrated Services
Figure 2 also highlights the fact that with the unique integrated services architecture of the Cisco 2800 Series, customers can now securely deploy IP Communications with traditional IP routing while leaving interface and module slots available for additional advanced services. With the optional integration of a wide array of services modules, the Cisco 2800 Series offers the ability to easily integrate the functions of standalone network appliances and components into the Cisco 2800 Series chassis itself. Many of these modules, such as the Cisco Network Analysis Module, Cisco Voice Mail Module, Cisco Intrusion Detection Module, Wide Area Application Services Module, and Cisco Content Engine Module, have embedded processors and hard drives that allow them to run largely independently of the router while allowing management from a single management interface. This flexibility greatly expands the potential applications of the Cisco 2800 Series beyond traditional routing while still maintaining the benefits of integration. These benefits include ease of management, lower solution costs (CAPEX and OPEX), and increased speed of deployment.

Figure 1. IP Telephony Phased Migration - Migrate Circuit-Switched PSTN and PBX Connectivity to Unified Communications
As companies seek to deploy unified communications solutions across the entire enterprise - converging voice, video, and data across potentially thousands of sites - they require a solution that offers simple administration, virtually unlimited scalability, and high availability. The unified communications routers work in concert with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, deployed in either a distributed or centralized call-processing model, to provide the unified communications solutions that enterprises require.
Centralized Call Processing
Demand for technology to help increase employee productivity and reduce costs is at an all-time high. At the same time, many organizations are struggling to deploy new applications and services because of unavailable capital budgets. The centralized call-processing model can provide technology to users who require it, while simultaneously providing ease of centralized management and maintenance of applications to network administrators. Instead of deploying and managing key systems or PBXs in small offices, applications are centrally located at a corporate headquarters or data center, and accessed through the IP LAN and WAN. This deployment model allows branch-office users to access the full enterprise suite of communications and productivity applications for the first time, while lowering total cost of ownership (TCO). There is no need to touch each branch office each time a

Page 2 of 19

software upgrade or new application is deployed, accelerating the speed in which organizations can adopt and deploy new technology solutions. The ability to quickly roll out new applications to remote users can provide a sustainable competitive advantage versus having to visit each of many branch-office sites to take advantage of new applications. An architecture in which a Cisco Unified Communications Manager and other Cisco IP Communications applications are located at the central site offers the following benefits:
Centralized configuration and management Access at every site to all Cisco Unified Communications Manager features, next-generation contact centers, unified messaging services, personal productivity tools, mobility solutions, and software-based phones all the time

Availability

Provides for Cisco Unified Communications Manager redundancy; if a primary host Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails, call control fails over to the next available Cisco Unified Communications Manager server
Offers branch-office survivability using SRST when connection to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster is lost

Scalability

Meets enterprise office requirements of small offices to large corporations Scales up to 30,000 users per cluster with Cisco Unified Communications Manager clustering

Investment Protection

Provides a modular platform design with a growing list of more than 90 interface combinations Allows you to increase voice capacity while taking advantage of your existing investments in Cisco unified communications routers

H.323 Y

Feature Group III fax support
Benefits Group III fax support facilitates transmit of Group III faxes between the PSTN and IP using either fax relay or fax pass-through methods. This feature enables transmit T.38 fax between the PSTN and IP. PLAR provides a dedicated connection to another extension or an attendant. You can choose to transmit voice across your network as either uncompressed pulse code modulation (PCM) or compressed from 5.3 to 64 kbps using standards-based compression algorithms (G.711, G.729, G.729a/b, G.722, Internet Low Bitrate Codec [iLBC], G.723.1, G.726, or G.728).

Y9 N Y

T.38 standards-based fax support Private-line automatic ringdown (PLAR) Standards-based codecs 10
Voice activity detection (VAD) Comfort-noise generation
VAD conserves bandwidth during a call when there is no active voice traffic to send. While using VAD, the digital signal processor (DSP) at the destination end emulates background noise from the source side, preventing the perception that a call is disconnected. When the WAN or LAN connection to the router is down or network conditions are such that a call cannot be admitted, this feature will busy out the trunk to the PBX or PSTN. These versions of H.323 use industry-standard signaling protocols for setting up calls between gateways, gatekeepers, and H.323 endpoints. This feature uses industry-standard signaling protocols for setting up calls between gateways and SIP proxies or SIP Back-to-Back User Agents. AAA supports debit card and credit card (prepaid and postpaid calling card) applications. IVR offers Automated-Attendant support, voicemail support, or call routing based on service desired. This feature uses IVR to provide automated callanswering and -forwarding services. VoiceXML controls calls in queue at the gateway for call-center applications. Calls are redirected only when an agent becomes available. This feature speeds variable-length dial strings dialing. This feature makes the voice and serial data interfaces available on the same T1/E1. This feature allows for use of fewer than 23/30 channels on a T1/E1. Other channels are either unused or used for data. This feature facilitates the use of tones to signal answering a call and the start of a CDR. This feature makes battery reversal or tones available for use to disconnect FXO calls. This feature allows ISDN-based video conferencing systems to connect and be switched back out the ISDN. You can change the numbering plan on the gateway before your call goes out over the PSTN.

Notes: 1. 2. 3. All results represent G.729A or G.711 (20-ms packetization) switched H.323 calls with VAD turned off. The call success rate (CSR) of all tests is 98 to 100 percent. Call duration of tests is 180 seconds except for calls-per-second rate testing, where the duration is shorter.
The test release is Cisco IOS Software Release 15.0.1M. This document contains general numbers as a guide to the approximate performance of the unified communications routers. The numbers are extrapolated from a large number of disparate tests, test conditions, and traffic patterns. Several non-testing factors have also been accounted for. Therefore, actual test results will vary, and we encourage you to do proof-of-concept testing for more specific performance numbers for a specific scenario, traffic pattern, or release.
