Cisco 800 Series Routers

What Is Cisco 880 Series xDSL Interoperability?

If your company plans to deploy broadband-based services with the Cisco® 880 Series integrated xDSL technologies, this document describes the DSL interoperability expectations of these platforms to help you avoid potential problems.

CPE and DSLAM Interoperability

The Cisco 880 Series customer premises equipment (CPE) described in Tables 1 and 2 has been tested at the Cisco DSL Interoperability Test Lab in San Jose, California, to ensure interoperability with the DSL access multiplexers (DSLAMs) also specified in Tables 1 and 2.
For very-high-bit-rate DSL2 (VDSL2) platforms, you can independently upgrade VDSL2 modem firmware. As new firmware revisions become available, you can download them from the designated VDSL firmware site.
For G.SHDSL platforms, G.SHDSL modem firmware is embedded in the Cisco IOS® Software. Table 2 lists firmware and the Cisco IOS Software combinations for the G.SHDSL platforms.
