(#)Running serial port in Async mode requires an IOS image that supports it such as c1005-qy-mz.xxx.bin (IP/ASYNC) or c1005-nqy-mz.xxx.bin (IP/IPX/ASYNC)

CiscoPro models

These models were offered in the late 90's, with virtualy identical hardware to the Cisco vairiants (however with a white paint job). These routers were priced aggressively and were restricted to 'crippled' IOS featuresets. The final CiscoPro IOS was 11.2, and some routers were able to be upgraded to compatible full IOS images.

Specifications

1001 / 1002 models

The LAN Extender connects to a central 'host' router. The host router provides routing services to the LAN Extender, and all configuration is done remotly from the central router. The host router is connected to the 1001 via a leased line connection (up to T1/E1). The lan extender could be run with Cisco 7000 series, Cisco 4000 series, Cisco 2500 series, and AGS+ host routers. Host routers had to be running IOS Release 10.2 or later[1]

1020 model

Developed through an alliance with Livingston Enterprises. Features two WAN ports, one asynchronous port supports PCMCIA modems up to V.34 rates (28.8 Kbps) and an external modem can be connected to a second asynchronous/console port to achieve aggregate throughput of up to 57.6 kbit/s uncompressed.
