The Cisco 1003 is a compact desktop router designed for environments requiring reliable ISDN connectivity. This router is part of Cisco's 1000 series, known for its robust functionality in providing network solutions for small to medium organisations. It supports ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), making it an ideal choice for locations with digital voice and data requirements. The device facilitates efficient routing of both voice and data traffic over a single ISDN line by utilising its BRI (Basic Rate Interface) ports.
The router's desktop design ensures that it can be easily integrated into typical office environments without requiring excessive space, making it a good fit for entities where space management is vital. Offering reliable connectivity and optimised routing, the Cisco 1003 supports various network protocols to maintain strong productivity across minimal bandwidth.
Equipped with two B channels and one D channel, each offering a combined bandwidth of up to 128 kbps, the router ensures stable communication with its central ISDN link. This flexibility allows organisations to use voice and data services simultaneously. In addition, the router features support for NAT (Network Address Translation), simplifying the management of public and private IP addressing.
Also notable is its integration of security features, including support for firewall setups and the ability to encrypt data traffic. This makes it suitable for low to moderate-traffic environments that still require a dependable security presence. The Cisco 1003 router has been designed with ease of configuration in mind, making it a manageable and practical solution for businesses that may not possess extensive networking expertise.
