Platform Features and Benefits
The Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router is an all-in-one unified communications solution that
integrates voice, data, video, wireless, 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.
Table 1 summarizes the features and benefits of the Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router.
Table 1. Platform Features and Benefits
Feature Benefits
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.
CME/SRST
Upgrade Licenses
●
Provides flexibility and investment protection by allowing the optional upgrade of the default 8-user
CME/SRST license to 15 users. Refer to Table 8 for list of license Upgrade SKUs. Cisco IOS
Release 12.4(22)T or later is required for upgrade from 8-to-15 users
Modularity
●
A high-speed WIC (HWIC) slot is available for data WAN integration through a select list of HWICs.
Refer to Table 9 for a list of supported HWICs.
●
The default Cisco IOS Software image SP Services K9 can be upgraded to optional advanced
images. Refer to Table 7 for a list of software images supported.
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 trunk is
directly connected to foreign exchange station (FXS) analog port, 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.
Cisco Unified Communications Features
IP telephony is currently undergoing tremendous growth, accelerated by access to value-added
features and applications that only IP telephony can provide to the end user. Additionally, the cost
benefits of converging data, voice, and video on a single network are adding to the rapid
acceptance of this technology. Because it is integrated into a single system, the Cisco 1861
Integrated Services Router for SMBs and enterprise small branch offices enhances the
advantages of convergence by offering the following unique benefits:
●
Cost-effective operations through a single, integrated voice-and-data platform for all
SMB and enterprise branch office needs: This highly reliable platform provides robust
