Cisco 677 Overview

1.1 Purpose

This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco 677 asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) router. It also describes the general applications available with the Cisco 677.

1.2 Product Description

The Cisco 677 provides home connectivity to an ADSL service provider network over an ADSL/Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) physical layer. The Cisco 677 receives adaptive rates up to 8.032 Mbps downstream and transmits .832 Mbps upstream.

A 10/100BaseT interface is provided for connection to an Ethernet LAN or Ethernet-equipped PC.

Figure 1-1 shows a front view of the Cisco 677 ADSL DMT router.

1.2.1 System Features

This section defines the system features of the Cisco 677.

Hardware Features

The following features are common to all of the Cisco 677 products:
