based application features a simple graphical user interface (GUI) and provides everything required to quickly set up

a small office network.

Cisco Configuration Assistant provides:

●Configuration, deployment, and ongoing network management support for the Cisco Smart Business

Communications System

●Multiple network views

●Simplified network reporting

●Drag-and-drop software updates

●Troubleshooting

This document lists Cisco SBCS system features that can be configured using Cisco Configuration Assistant versions

2.2(5) and 3.0. Feature configuration information is categorized by network and voice, switching, wireless, and

security. A comprehensive, A-to-Z guide to SBCS system features is also included. For device- and platform-specific

features, see the data sheets and platform reference guides available on Cisco.com (www.cisco.com/go/sbcs)
