Feature Benefit

LAN and WAN Connectivity

Integrated into Chassis

• Voice and WIC support can be used for WAN (data-only) connectivity and then redeployed to support

channelized voice and data or packet voice applications.

• The Cisco 2600 Series offers integrated 10/100 Ethernet ports on most platforms.

• A combination of AIMs and WICs along with network modules provides greater flexibility to create new

configurations as requirements change.

Flexible IP Telephony and

Voice Gateway Configurations

• The Cisco 2600 Series helps enable incremental migration from TDM infrastructure to IP telephony.

• Support for optional embedded call processing using Cisco CME for up to 72 IP Phones.

• Support for up to a 100 mailboxes using the Cisco Unity

Express voice messaging system is possible with

the integration of an optional voice-mail AIM or network module.

• The Cisco 2600 Series is compatible with over 90 percent of the world’s TDM private branch exchanges

(PBXs).

• The Cisco 2600 Series offers configuration options for higher density and mixed analog and digital

gateway configurations.

• New voice gateway bundles include the features needed for immediate integration of voice and data.

AIM Slot • The architecture is expandable for integration of advanced services such as hardware-assisted data

compression, encryption, voice, and ATM.

• The Cisco 2600 Series maximizes performance by offloading processor-intensive applications to a

coprocessor.

• The AIM slot provides expanded services, freeing the network module slot for other applications.

DC Power Supply Option

Platforms

• This platform allows deployment in DC power environments such as telecommunications carrier central

offices.

Enterprise and Managed Service CPE-Class Performance

High-Performance Architecture • The Cisco 2600 Series offers support for advanced QoS features such as the Resource Reservation Protocol

(RSVP), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), and IP Precedence to reduce recurring WAN costs.

• The Cisco 2600 Series offers support for cost-effective, software-based data compression and data

encryption.

• Integration of traditional networks is accomplished with data-link switching plus (DLSW+) and Advanced

Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN).

• High-speed routing performance of up to 70,000 packets per second offers maximum scalability to support

more concurrent functions (Cisco 2691).
