The Cisco® 1100 Terminal Services Gateway provides up to 72 asynchronous ports on a single-rack-unit form factor, supporting up to 24 Layer 2 switch ports, LTE Advanced 3.0, and high availability using dual power supplies.
The compact, high-density Cisco 1100 Terminal Services Gateway (C1100 TSG) with Cisco IOS® XE Software allows secure remote management of a wide variety of networking, compute, Internet of Things (IoT), and other devices. It integrates Layer 2 switching and comprehensive security with the ability to integrate wired and wireless WAN connections (LTE Advanced 3.0) into a single rack unit. The C1100 TSG allows secure authentication (through support for RADIUS or TACACS) of remote users connecting to resources on an internal corporate or private network from Internet-connected devices.
Cloud service providers can deploy the C1100 TSG in data centers to provide secure connectivity to terminal servers, computers, IoT devices, and other networking equipment located in the internal network or behind a firewall. In addition, the gateway supports the Cisco IOS Firewall, IPsec and Network Address Translation (NAT), providing security and protection to all devices that connect to or from the terminal gateway. The C1100 TSG supports centralized and remote management capabilities through web-based tools and Cisco IOS® XE Software for full visibility into and control of network configurations at the remote site.
The Cisco 1100 TSG is available in three models: the C1100TG-1N24P32A (4GB and 8GB DRAM variants available) and C1100TG-1N32A (Figure 1).The base hardware comes with up to 32 RS-232-based asynchronous ports operable up to a maximum 230-Kbps connection per port, and the C1100TG-1N24P32A model supports a 24-port Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch.
Cisco 1100 Terminal Services Gateway models
Three models of the Cisco 1100 Terminal Services Gateway are available: one with 32 asynchronous ports , a second model with 32 asynchronous ports plus a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and a 8GB DRAM version of the second model providing LAN ports to connect multiple devices. All the models have a Network Interface Module (NIM) slot that supports selected NIMs. The supported NIMs are interchangeable between the Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and the Cisco 1100 Terminal Services Gateway.
All the C1100 TSG models come with built-in AC or DC power supplies. The AC or DC power supply is selectable at the time of ordering but is not field replaceable.
In addition to the 32 onboard asynchronous ports, an optional 16-port asynchronous daughter card may be ordered that takes the onboard density to 48 ports. The NIM slot may additionally be populated with the NIM-16A or NIM-24A module, allowing a maximum of 72 terminal server ports. Customers may use Cisco asynchronous cable (CAB-ASYNC-8) to connect the 72 asynchronous ports to any combination of computing equipment, terminal servers, IoT devices, or networking equipment.
Every C1100 TSG provides two front panel Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports, allowing WAN connectivity to the gateway. Each of the WAN ports can support copper [RJ45] or Fiber Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP). The C1100 TSG is supported through the Cisco IOS® XE Software images, providing support for routing and security features (including firewall and IPsec).

Redundant power supply architecture
All C1100 TSG models provide for high availability for the power supply. The primary power supply is internal to the platform and may be ordered as an AC or DC. A second AC-only power supply may be connected to the platform as a redundant power supply. The two power supplies may be connected to the mains to provide for power redundancy. The internal power supply (AC, DC) acts as the primary power supply, while the external AC power supply automatically takes over upon the failure of the primary (internal) power supply.
Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) support
All C1100 TSG models (19-inch rack kit only) are certified for Level 3 of NEBS (Telcordia SR-3580 Level 3) while operating with a DC or AC power supply. When operating with the external AC power supply, the C1100 TSG is not certified for NEBS compliance. Please refer to Table 3 for more details.
Smart Software Licensing support
The C1100 TSG supports Smart Licensing by default. When ordering the C1100 TSG, customers must provide a Smart Account. All optional licenses purchased with the C1100 TSG will be deposited into the respective Smart or Virtual Account combination provided at the time of the order. Specific License Reservation (SLR) and factory installation of licenses ordered through SLR are supported on these platforms.
Smart Software Manager (SSM) is a simplified license management system that delivers visibility into customer license ownership and consumption. Licenses are managed through SSM, a central Cisco Smart License cloud portal. The cloud portal maintains an account of what the customer has bought and what they are using, thus alerting the customer if they go out of compliance. Customers can determine what licenses they own and how they are being used. Customers benefit from being able to pool available licenses, providing for more straightforward license usage across like platforms and thus decreasing operating costs.
Cisco IOS Software licensing and packaging
Universal Cisco IOS XE image
A single Cisco IOS XE Universal image encompassing all functions is delivered with the platform. Advanced features can be enabled simply by activating a software license on the Universal image. Technology packages and feature licenses, enabled through right-to-use licenses, simplify software delivery and decrease the operational costs of deploying new features.
Three major technology licenses are available on the Cisco 1100 Terminal Services Gateway; these licenses can be activated through the Cisco software activation process described at https://www.cisco.com/go/sa. The following licenses are available:
● IP Base: This technology package is available as the default.
● Application Experience (APP): This license includes data and application performance features.
● Security (SEC). This license includes features for securing network infrastructure.
The C1100 TSG supports Smart Licensing by default. All orders will require a Smart Account to be provided where the SEC and APP licenses will be deposited.
The C1100 TSG models may be ordered with the optional module and power supplies. To place an order, refer to Table 5 and visit the Cisco Ordering homepage.
