secure broadband connection with an integrated stateful-inspection firewall. Corporate teleworkers or small-office users can also take advantage
of the Cisco SOHO 96 router for VPN connections to the corporate network. The router can set up secure Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES)
encrypted connections using Cisco IOS Software or users can initiate VPN tunnels from PC-based VPN clients on the LAN.
EASY SETUP AND DEPLOYMENT
The Cisco SOHO 96 router includes the Cisco Router Web SetUp Tool (CRWS), a Web-based configuration tool, available in multiple languages,
that allows users to quickly self-install the router. Because CRWS is Web-based, no additional software is required on the PC for configuration.
Users simply point a browser to the router and follow a few easy steps to quickly get the router up and running. Additionally, the Cisco
Configuration Express service allows enterprise or service provider customers who order products direct from Cisco to have preconfigured Cisco
SOHO 96 routers shipped from manufacturing directly to the end users.
