Group,<br />
I am looking for what you would recommend for a setup for a small branch office using the 2801 series. What we would need is something like this for the initial setup, the big thing is that we want VOIP. This is huge. However I don't know much about the ins and outs of this, I do believe that you can connect to POTS so you have a 1 to 1 translation.<br />
We currently are running a Pix 515 FW on the facility, however I gather you can replace the FW with the router due to the intergrated security features. We also have a 2600 router that is not in use, can we add a voice module to that which will connect via POTS, or add a voice module to the router and install a CallManager server? Any guidance for us would be great, we are a small brance office running a cablemodem at the moment however I hope to be able to move to FIOS in the near future. Thanks guys, appreciate it!

Recommendation for Cisco 2801 Router for small branch office setup

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
