Before You Begin
The Cisco MCS 7890-C1 is an easy-to-manage, purpose-built appliance that integrates the benefits of
media processing (for voice calling and mobility) and digital circuit gateway functionality on a single
system. Consolidating these functions creates a cost-effective solution that is simple to set up, manage,
and use, thereby lowering total cost of ownership and providing a smooth migration from older, outdated
telephony systems to IP communications.
Designed for midmarket organizations with smaller IT staffs, the solution provides investment protection
with the capacity to grow to up to 300 employees (400 endpoints) and ten total sites (nine remote sites).
The Cisco MCS 7890-C1 comes preinstalled with the Cisco Business Edition 3000 software, integrated
dual T1/E1 public-switched-telephone-network (PSTN) interfaces, and an easy-to-use administration
and provisioning interface.
Cisco supplies the MCS 7890-C1 in a single package that contains the items that are listed in the
Unpacking the MCS 7890-C1 section. Make sure all of the parts are in the package. Never use defective
