The Cisco1417 router has a built-in Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) modem that connects small businesses and remote branch offices to the Internet or to larger, corporate networks without the need for an external modem. The router has one 10BASE-T interface and one ADSL interface that provide a connection of up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. The router is designed to connect to systems that use an Alcatel DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexer).
