Information About Cisco 800 Series ISRs
The Cisco 860, Cisco 880, and Cisco 890 series ISRs provide Internet, VPN, voice, data, and backup capability to corporate teleworkers and remote and small offices of fewer than 20 users. These routers are capable of bridging and multiprotocol routing between LAN and WAN ports, and provide advanced features such as antivirus protection. In addition, the Cisco 860W, Cisco 880W, and Cisco 890W series ISRs incorporate an 802.11n wireless LAN option that allows the ISR to act as a wireless access point.
The Cisco 810 series ISRs provide Internet, VPN, data, and backup capability to corporate teleworkers and remote and small offices of fewer than 20 users and provides machine to machine connectivity. Under Cisco 810 series ISRs, there are two different series of routers available - Cisco 812 series ISRs and Cisco 819 series ISRs. The Cisco 812 ISRs support Gigabit Ethernet (GE), WAN connections over Cellular (3G) interface, and WLAN. The Cisco 819 ISRs are fixed-configuration data routers that provide four 10/100 Fast Ethernet (FE), 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GE), WAN connections over Serial and Cellular (3G, 4G) interfaces and WLAN.
Cisco 860 Series ISRs
The Cisco 860 series ISRs are fixed-configuration data routers that provide either a 10/100 Fast Ethernet (FE) or an ADSL2 over POTs WAN connection.
This section contains the following topics:

The Cisco 887 VA-V and Cisco 881-V routers give you the flexibility to use the FXS or BRI voice ports (The Cisco 881-V router also supports a backup FX0 port), but the number of concurrent calls that the router supports is limited by the codec complexity configuration. The router supports less calls when the codec complexity setting is configured for high complexity. Table 4 shows the number of concurrent calls that is supported on the router for each codec complexity setting. Configuring the codec complexity setting to support secure calls does not affect the numbers below.

WLAN Features of Cisco 812 Series ISR
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) implements a flexible data communication system frequently augmenting rather than replacing a wired LAN within a building or campus. WLANs use radio frequency to transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections.
Cisco 812 ISR supports the following WLAN features:
Dual Radio of Cisco 812 Series ISR
The Cisco 802 Access Points (AP802) is an integrated access point on Cisco 812 ISRs. The access point is a wireless LAN transceiver that acts as the connection point between wireless and wired networks or as the center point of a standalone wireless network. In large installations, the roaming functionality provided by multiple access points enables wireless users to move freely throughout the facility while maintaining uninterrupted access to the network.
AP802 Dual Radio contains two different types of wirelesss radio that can support connections on both 2.4 Ghz used by 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n and 5 Ghz used by 802.11a and 802.11n.
All the WLAN traffic for Cisco 812 ISR passes through the Ethernet WAN or 3G interface. The AP802 Dual Radio is supported on the following SKUs:
- C812G-CIFI+7-E-K9
- C812G-CIFI+7-N-K9
- C812G-CIFI-V-A-K9
- C812G-CIFI-S-A-K9
Cleanair Technology of Cisco 812 Series ISR
The CleanAir is a new wireless technology that intelligently avoids Radio Frequency (RF) to protect 802.11n performance. For more information, see Cisco CleanAir Technology . This feature is supported in all SKUs that has WLAN support.
Dynamic Frequency Selection of Cisco 812 Series ISR
The Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is the process of detecting radar signals that must be protected against 802.11a interference and upon detection switching the 802.11a operating frequency to one that is not interfering with the radar systems. Transmit Power Control (TPC) is used to adapt the transmission power based on regulatory requirements and range information.
![]() Note | The DFS functionality is disabled for FCC SKUs pending FCC certification. For more information, see Dynamic Frequency Selection and IEEE 802.11h Transmit Power Control . |
Platform Features of Cisco 812 Series ISR
For the complete list of Cisco 812 ISR platform features, see Platform Features.
TFTP with Ethernet WAN Interface Feature of Cisco 812 Series ISR
For more information on TFTP download, see Disaster Recovery with TFTP Download .
![]() Note | The Cisco 812 ISR has a GE interface as the only Ethernet interface. Hence, the port number is automatically set at Rommon for TFTP connectivity. |

Licensing for Cisco 800 Series ISRs
The Cisco 810, 860, Cisco 880, and Cisco 890 ISRs ship with licensed software installed. Software features may be upgraded and the software licenses may be managed through Cisco Licensing Manager . See Software Activation On Cisco Integrated Services Routers and Cisco Integrated Service Routers G2 for details.
When you order a new router, you specify the software image and feature set that you want. The image and feature set are installed on your router before you receive it, so you do not need to purchase a software license. The router stores the software license file on the flash memory.
![]() Note | The Cisco 860VAE does not require licenses. |
Selecting Feature Sets for Cisco 800 Series ISRs
Some feature sets are bundled and offered with a software license that is installed on the hardware platforms. For a list of features available with a software license on the Cisco 810, Cisco 860, Cisco 880, and Cisco 890 platforms, see Cisco 812 Data Sheet Cisco 819 Data Sheet , Cisco 860 Data Sheet , Cisco 880 Data Sheet , and Cisco 890 Data Sheet . See Cisco IOS Software Activation Tasks and Commands for details about how to activate and manage the software licenses.
