The Cisco 3700 Series are equipped with two internal slots to support one or two field-installable AIMs. AIMs use

function-specific hardware to off-load the main router CPU and accelerate processor- or resource-intensive services,

yielding dramatically higher throughput and higher performance than a software-only implementation. The AIM slot

has access to virtually all of the router’s resources, including the main system bus. The TDM bus and the serial

communications controllers make this a very flexible and powerful feature. Since the AIM is internally mounted,

external slots remain available for integration of other modular components such as CSU/DSUs, WAN interfaces,

or other devices such as modems, or packetized voice/fax processors.

The Data Compression AIM provides a cost-effective option for reducing recurring WAN costs and maximizes the

benefit of the advanced bandwidth management features of the Cisco IOS software. With compression ratios of up

to 4:1, each integrated Data Compression AIM supports 4 T1/E1s of compressed data throughput with one AIM and

up to 8 T1/E1 with two AIMs. The Data Compression AIM supports industry standard LZS and Microsoft Point-

to-Point Compression (MPPC) algorithms and ensures compatibility with all Cisco products supporting hardware-

or software-based compression.

• Supports Cisco IOS feature sets common with the Cisco 2600 and 3600 routers

– Enables end to end solutions with full support for Cisco IOS-based QoS,

bandwidth management and Security mechanisms

• Services and WAN connectivity and backup can be supported without consuming

an NM slot

– Increased density per RU of voice, switching, WAN connectivity

• A greater number of new Cisco IOS releases may be added without the need

to purchase/install additional memory

• Enables higher port density and new, high performance services

• Accommodates optional RPS (external for Cisco 3725, internal for Cisco 3745) and

minimizes network downtime

• Branch offices can leverage centralized call control while cost-effectively providing

local branch backup redundancy for IP Telephony

• Allows network modules to be swapped or serviced with minimal impact to network

availability

– Allows servicing of online replacement of RPS

– Online replacement of fan tray

• High serviceability design

– Additional operations and maintenance flexibility
