QoS and the right level of security, encryption, and firewall to deliver enhanced VPN
services to meet small-business needs. The system delivers integrated IP telephony,
voicemail, and Automated-Attendant functions, allowing you to deploy one device to
address all your business needs—thereby simplifying management, maintenance, and
operations and delivering a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
●
Sophisticated key system and private branch exchange (PBX) capabilities: SMBs and
enterprise branch offices have different workflows and require specialized features to
support their work practices. The Cisco 1861 delivers a robust set of telephony features for
the small office and delivers unique, value-added capabilities through the Extensible
Markup Language (XML). These capabilities, which cannot be delivered by traditional
systems, enhance the productivity of the end user and the business.
●
Remote maintenance and troubleshooting: You can use the industry-standard Cisco
IOS Software command-line interface (CLI) or user-friendly GUI to configure and administer
the Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router system.
The Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router appliance in the first phase offers the feature set
available with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express 7.0 and Cisco Unity Express 3.0.
Table 2 summarizes the unified communications features.
