Product Overview

Cisco

Unified Communications is a comprehensive IP communications system of voice, video,

data, and mobility products and applications. It enables more effective, more secure, more

personal communications that directly affect both sales and profitability. It brings people together

by enabling a new way of communicating—where your business moves with you, security is

everywhere, and information is always available...whenever and wherever it is needed. Cisco

Unified Communications is part of an integrated solution that includes network infrastructure,

security, mobility, network management products, lifecycle services, flexible deployment and

outsourced management options, end-user and partner financing packages, and third-party

communications applications.

The Cisco Communication Media Module (CMM) is a line card for the Cisco Catalyst

6500 Series

Switch and Cisco 7600 Series Router that provides high-performance and high-density voice-over-

IP (VoIP) gateways and media services. The Cisco CMM (Figure 1) allows organizations to

connect their existing time-division multiplexing (TDM) network to their IP communications

network, provide connectivity to the public switched telephone network (PSTN), and enable

conferencing, transcoding, and media termination services for their IP communications networks.

The Cisco CMM is a modular line card that supports four different types of port adapters, including

6-port T1, 6-port E1, 24-port foreign exchange station (FXS), and 128-port conferencing and

transcoding port adapters. Up to four port adapters can be installed in a single Cisco CMM Line

Card. Customers have the flexibility of mixing any of the four types of port adapters in a single

Cisco CMM (Note: Mixed E1 and T1 port adapters on the same CMM are not allowed).

With the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series, Cisco delivers best-in-class products

and services to help customers migrate to a fully converged network by bringing data, voice, and

video together for fully integrated IP communications on every desktop. Voice services are

supported by the converged IP network rather than the traditional private branch exchange (PBX),

reducing capital and operational costs, and opening the environment to innovation by supporting

new applications (refer to Figure 2).
