Telecommuter

In the real world, telecommuters fall into two distinct categories: remote users and telecommuters.
The remote user requires access from multiple locations because they might be at home, at a
customer’s site, or in a hotel. Typically, these users use analog dial-up connections. However,
wireless technologies are becoming increasingly popular with these users. Most remote users use
a modem connected to (or built into) their PC.
Telecommuters operate from a home office or an otherwise fixed location. For telecommuters,
the smaller, fixed-configuration routers are best suited to the task, and therefore,
the technologies recommended by Cisco for remote access mesh well with their needs. These
platforms include the following:
 Cisco 700 series
 Cisco 800 series
 Cisco 1000 series
The primary characteristics of these platforms include simple options and fixed configurations,
both of which can lower the cost of these systems.
