The Cisco 675e
This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco 675e ADSL Router. It also describes the general applications available with the Cisco 675e.
Note This chapter documents general product features available in the Cisco 675e product line. Please refer to the Cisco 675e release notes document for a current list of product features available in the Cisco 675e you purchased.
The Cisco 675e is an Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) modem for home connectivity to an ADSL service provider network over an ADSL/Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) physical layer. The Cisco 675e receives adaptive rates up to 7 Mbps downstream and transmits 1 Mbps upstream. A 10/100Base-T interface is provided for connection to a Ethernet LAN or Ethernet-equipped PC. The Cisco 675e supports Cisco QuickDial technology for ADSL bandwidth-on-demand.
The following figure illustrates the Cisco 675e ADSL Router.
