This chapter provides information on the Cisco 760 series routers. The information is organized into the following sections:
http://www.cisco.com. For more information, see the chapter "Documentation" at the end of the catalog.
The Cisco 760 series is the next generation of low-cost and easy-to-manage multiprotocol ISDN access routers. These devices provide professional offices, small offices, and individuals with high speed remote access to enterprise networks and the Internet. The Cisco 760 series includes the following models: Cisco 761, Cisco 762, Cisco 765, and Cisco 766.
The Cisco 760 series offers the following features:
The Cisco 760 series reduces the total cost of ownership in the areas of acquisition costs, support costs, and WAN costs.
The Cisco 760 series represents the lowest cost entry point to the Cisco access product family. The optional integrated NT1 and analog telephone interfaces eliminate the need to purchase separate telephone services and equipment to support these functions.
Because the Cisco 760 series supports remote management using SNMP and Telnet, all common monitoring functions can be performed by a network management team at the central site. Flash memory and TFTP downloading eliminate the expense of recalling units or sending a technician to the remote site to perform software upgrades.
Support for bandwidth-on-demand using Multilink PPP and 4:1 data compression enable cost efficient WAN connections. In addition, dial-on-demand (DDR) ensures that connections will not be inadvertently kept up when they are not in use, which keeps WAN charges to a minimum.
Cisco's dial-on-demand feature allows WAN connections to occur only when the router senses traffic that has been defined as "interesting" by the user or network administrator. With two ISDN BRI B channels, the Cisco 760 series can support simultaneous sessions with two sites and offload network traffic from one channel to the other. For example, as bandwidth needs increase---such as when a large file transfer is initiated---the second B channel is brought up automatically to carry the additional traffic.
Multilink PPP and 4:1 data compression ensure that WAN bandwidth is used efficiently and connect time charges are minimized. Access lists prevent broadcast traffic on the LAN from bringing up the WAN connection unnecessarily.
The Cisco 760 series is designed to minimize the complexity of configuring and operating multiprotocol routers. While personal network profiles make the process of connecting and disconnecting multiple sites transparent to the user, the Cisco ConnectPro software for Microsoft Windows provides an intuitive graphical user interface for installing, configuring, and monitoring Cisco 760 series routers. The Web-based application ClickStart is used for initial configuration.
Personal network profiles enable Cisco 760 users to create customized sets of configuration parameters, such as filters, demand thresholds, and passwords for each remote site that is dialed. Personal network profiles allow on-demand calls to be made to different telephone numbers based on demand filters that are tailored for each remote site.
The Cisco 760 series is fully interoperable with Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS)-based routers such as the Cisco 2500, Cisco 4000, and Cisco 7000 series using Multilink PPP for IP or IPX routing.
Transparent Access for Telecommuters
The Cisco 760 series provides people who work from their homes with transparent access to the resources available on their companies' internetworks. IP and IPX routing support the most common LAN protocols found on today's enterprise networks. The Cisco 760 series dramatically lowers the initial and recurring costs associated with telecommuting initiatives.

The Cisco 760 series offers two optional external analog telephone interfaces to enable devices such as standard telephones, fax machines, and modems to share an ISDN BRI line. This eliminates the need for multiple telephone lines or expensive ISDN telephones. The Cisco 760 models support two POTS lines and supplemental telephone services over ISDN. Supplemental telephone services supported include call waiting, cancel call waiting, call hold, and call retrieve.
The Cisco 760 series includes Cisco ConnectPro software---a Microsoft Windows-based application that simplifies the process of installing, configuring, and managing Cisco 760 series routers. The Cisco 760 series also includes ClickStart---a Web-based configuration tool that assists in the initial configuration of the Cisco 760.
The Cisco 760 series offers the benefits of IP and IPX routing, SNMP management, and multilevel authentication in a modem-sized package. When connecting to other Cisco routers, concurrent bridging is also supported. All Cisco 760 series routers support the Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), which provides up to 128 kbps of ISDN bandwidth. The Cisco 760 series basic configuration allows up to four devices on the directly attached LAN. The Remote Office (RO) software option enables up to 1500 devices on the local LAN.
The following list summarizes the key features supported by the Cisco 760 series:
The Cisco 760 series includes the following ISDN routers:
The Cisco 761 multiprotocol ISDN router provides the series' lowest cost option for connecting small offices or home offices to wide area networks using an ISDN BRI line. The Cisco 761 is the solution of choice for international users and those who prefer to use an external NT1 device for connecting to the ISDN network.
The Cisco 762 router includes a built in NT1 device to provide an all-in-one solution for ISDN users in North America. In addition to the integrated NT1, the Cisco 762 provides an external S/T port to support additional ISDN devices such as ISDN telephones.
The Cisco 765 and Cisco 766 are similar to the Cisco 761 and Cisco 762 (without and with an NT1, respectively); the Cisco 765 and Cisco 766 adds two RJ-11 interfaces for sharing the ISDN BRI line with up to two analog devices such as standard telephones, fax machines, and modems. Using Cisco's call priority feature, the Cisco 765 and Cisco 766 can drop one or both ISDN BRI B channels used for data to accept or initiate analog calls.

The Cisco 760 series offers the Standard software feature set and the Remote Office software feature set upgrade. Both feature sets support IP and IPX routing and transparent bridging. With the Standard feature set, which comes with your router at no additional cost, you can connect up to four devices on the directly attached Ethernet LAN. For an unlimited number of LAN connections, you can purchase the Remote Office feature set upgrade. (See Table 229 for ordering information.)
All Cisco 760 series routers also come with (at no additional cost) Cisco ConnectPro software---a Microsoft Windows-based application that simplifies the process of installing, configuring, and managing Cisco 760 series routers. Cisco ConnectPro provides a series of interview dialogs with context-sensitive help screens for initial configuration. ISDN-specific parameters, such as directory numbers and SPIDs, can be easily entered using the graphical user interface. Cisco ConnectPro also provides a graphical representation of ISDN B channel activity and traffic throughput performance.
The Cisco 760 series is fully compatible with Cisco IOS-based routers, such as the Cisco 2500, Cisco 4000, and Cisco 7000 series.
