Cisco Model EPC2425 EuroDOCSIS 2.0 Wireless
Residential Gateway with Embedded Digital Voice Adapter
The Cisco® Model EPC2425 EuroDOCSIS 2.0 Wireless Residential Gateway with
Embedded Digital Voice Adapter (EPC2425) is a high performance home gateway that
combines a cable modem, two-line digital voice adapter, router and wireless access point
in a single device providing a cost-effective voice and networking solution for both the
home and small office.
The EPC2425 has been designed to meet EuroPacketCable™ 1.5 and EuroDOCSIS™ 2.0
specifications. In addition, the EPC2425 is fully backward compatible for use on both EuroDOCSIS
1.1 and EuroDOCSIS 1.0 networks.

Adapter
Designed for the active digital home or office, the EPC2425’s integrated router features a Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, Network Address and Port Translation (NAT/NAPT)
and a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall. These features allow the user to share a single
high-speed public Internet connection as well as share files and folders between devices within the
home network by attaching multiple wired and wireless devices in your home or office to the
wireless residential gateway.
