THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL
STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT
SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE
OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Product Overview

The Cisco Secure Router 520 Series routers are designed for small businesses with up to 50 users and
teleworkers who want secure connectivity to corporate LANs and to the Internet. These routers provide
advanced security features that include secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) access and comprehensive
threat defense with Cisco IOS Firewall, Intrusion Prevention Solution (IPS), and URL filtering. The
Cisco Secure Router 520 Series routers also provide dynamic routing and advanced quality of service
(QoS) features.

The Cisco Secure Router 520 Series routers are available in Ethernet and DSL models. The following
sections describe each of the routers:

• Cisco Secure Router 520 Ethernet-to-Ethernet Routers, page 1-1

• Cisco Secure Router 520 ADSL-over-POTS Routers, page 1-3

• Cisco Secure Router 520 ADSL-over-ISDN Routers, page 1-4

Cisco Secure Router 520 Ethernet-to-Ethernet Routers

The Cisco Secure Router 520 Ethernet-to-Ethernet routers can connect a small business or a teleworker
to a corporate LAN or to the Internet through an Internet service provider (ISP) over a broadband or
Ethernet connection. These switch-capable routers provide a 4-port Fast Ethernet switch for the LAN.
The routers are capable of bridging and multiprotocol routing between LAN and WAN ports.

Two router models are available:

• Cisco Secure Router 520 Ethernet-to-Ethernet (without wireless functionality).

• Cisco Secure Router 520 Ethernet-to-Ethernet Wireless (with wireless functionality). The wireless

router supports the use of a single 2.4-GHz antenna.

Cisco Secure Router 520 ADSL-over-ISDN Routers

The Cisco Secure Router 520 ADSL-over-ISDN router is a routing device that uses an asymmetric
digital subscriber line (ADSL) over integrated services digital network (ISDN). These routers have an
integrated 4-port Fast Ethernet switch for connecting to the LAN and an ADSL-over-ISDN physical
interface for connecting to the WAN. This feature allows the router to connect a small business or a
teleworker to a central office or an Internet service provider (ISP) over an ADSL interface.

Two router models are available:

• Cisco Secure Router 520 ADSL-over-ISDN (without wireless functionality).

• Cisco Secure Router 520 ADSL-over-ISDN Wireless (with wireless functionality). The wireless
