Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express is a Cisco IOS Software
solution embedded in the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series
appliance that provides call processing for Cisco Unified IP Phones.
Simple to deploy, administer, and maintain, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Express is a reliable, feature-rich telephony solution.
LAN Switching and Routing
The Cisco Unified Communications 520 Series has an integrated, managed
Ethernet switch that provides eight ports of 10/100 PoE optimized for
integration with the Cisco Smart Business Communications System.
Additionally, you can expand the capacity of the by adding a switch from
the Cisco Catalyst Express 520 Series or from the.Cisco ESW 500 Series,
part of the Cisco Small Business Pro product portfolio. Cisco Catalyst
Express 520 Series switches provide 8 to 24 additional 10/100 Power over
Ethernet ports. Cisco ESW 500 Series switches provide up to 48
additional 10/100 Power over Ethernet or 24 10/100/1000 Power over
Ethernet ports. Both series ship with a software configuration that
enables them to work immediately with the Cisco Unified Communications
520 Series platform.
Cisco Unity Express
Embedded Cisco Unity Express helps enable voicemail, desktop messaging,
and Automated Attendant services for increased customer service and a
rich employee communications experience.
Cisco Smart Business Productivity Applications
New productivity applications on the Cisco Unified Communications 520
Series integrate it with business processes and operations. Some
examples of Smart Business Productivity Applications are:
- Cisco Webex PhoneConnect integrates the IP telephony
infrastructure with Cisco Webex conferencing services
- Cisco Single Number Reach provides follow-me capabilities for
Cisco Unified IP Phone users
- Cisco TimeCardView is a time and attendance application that
allows staff to clock in and out, track hours, send reports, and
upload information to payroll applications from their IP phone
Firewall for Network Security
Security is a fundamental element of any network, and Cisco products
play an important role in embedding security at the customer's access
edge. The Cisco IOS Firewall is a stateful-inspection firewall available
with the Cisco Unified Communications 520 Series. Built from
market-leading Cisco PIX Firewall software technologies, the Cisco IOS
Firewall is a base feature on the Cisco Unified Communications 520
Series platform; it is ideal for protecting the WAN entry point into the
network.
Virtual Private Networking
VPNs carry private data over a public network and extend remote access
to users over a shared infrastructure. Maintaining the same security and
management policies as private networks, VPNs are the most
cost-effective means of establishing point-to-point connections between
remote users and a central network. VPNs have been the fastest-growing
form of network connectivity, and Cisco takes this approach to a new
level by making VPN functions an integral part of the Cisco Unified
Communications family of products. The Cisco Unified Communications 520
Series supports a maximum of 10 VPNs and includes built-in
hardware-based encryption acceleration that offloads IP Security (IPsec),
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Data Encryption Standard (DES), and
Triple DES (3DES) encryption and VPN processes to provide increased VPN
throughput on the Cisco Unified Communications 520 Series platform.
Wireless Mobility Services
The 8- and 16-user models of the Cisco Unified Communications 520 Series
support an optional integrated WLAN access point for secure WLAN
connectivity. As part of the Cisco Smart Business Communications System,
the Cisco Unified Communications 520 Series also supports the Cisco 521
Wireless Express Access Point. In addition, for best-in-class wireless
mobility, the Cisco 526 Wireless Express Mobility Controller can be
added to create a unified system of access points. Deploying these
access points enables your business to add WLAN telephony as well as
wireless access to data applications. Wireless services allow greater
mobility for employees, partners, and customers, resulting in increased
productivity.
Cisco Configuration Assistant
The Cisco Configuration Assistant, a PC-based, intuitive GUI
configuration tool, is an integral component of the Cisco Smart Business
Communications System. With a focus on ease of use, it simplifies the
task of configuring and modifying multiple technologies, such as unified
communications, switching, routing, security, and wireless. Features
include an interactive topology view, front-panel views of devices,
wireless deployment setup wizard, and drag-and-drop Cisco IOS Software
upgrades.
Architecture Features and Benefits
The Cisco Unified Communications 520 Series integrates voice, data,
video, security, wireless, and management into one platform. It brings
unified communications to small businesses and organizations by
providing a simplified, affordable solution that is easy to configure,
deploy, and manage. By combining call control, messaging, and mobility
into one device, the Cisco Unified Communications 520 Series eliminates
the added costs of multiple servers and provides a solution that is easy
to set up and manage at a lower price point.
