Cards

The chassis includes three card slots in which you can install a combination of cards.

In any one slot you can install your choice of:

• Quad T1/PRI card

• Quad E1/PRI card

In the remaining two slots you can install your choice of:

• MICA carrier card

• Microcom carrier card

For details on cards, installation, and troubleshooting, see the Cisco AS5300 Universal Access Server Module Installation Guide publication.

Quad T1/PRI and E1/PRI Cards

You can install one of two types of Quad cards in any unpopulated slot of the access server chassis:

• Quad Cards Without Serial Interfaces

• Quad Cards With Serial Interfaces

Quad Cards Without Serial Interfaces

Quad T1/PRI Card

A 10-position rotary switch allows the user to choose which of the four ports is selected for monitoring through the Bantam jacks (TXMON, TXIN, TXOUT and RXMON, RXIN, RXOUT). The LED labeled MON at each port lights to indicate that port has been selected for monitoring. Only one port can be selected at a time. None of the ports is selected when the switch is set to the OFF position.

Cables are not included with the card. However, cable specifications and port pinouts are listed in the "Cables" chapter.

Quad E1/PRI Card

The Quad E1/PRI WAN card without serial interfaces includes four RJ-45 ports for terminating 120-ohm balanced lines or 75-ohm unbalanced lines. Cables are not included with the card. However, cable specifications and port pinouts are listed in the appendix "Cabling Specification." Note that these boards support both MICA and Microcom modems.

A 10-position rotary switch allows the user to choose the number of ports that are terminated as 75-ohm unbalanced lines. If the LED labeled 120 at each port is on, it indicates the input impedance of that port is set to 120 ohms. If it is off, the impedance is set to 75 ohms.

Cables are not included with the card. However, cable specifications and port pinouts are listed in the appendix, "Cabling Specifications."

Quad Cards With Serial Interfaces

This section describes the Quad T1/PRI and Quad E1/PRI cards with serial interfaces. Note that these cards do not support Microcom modems.

The board provides 4 RJ-45 T1 or E1 PRI ports and 4 serial interfaces for backhaul WAN support.

The T1/PRI ports are configured as 100-ohm per port. For the Quad E1/PRI WAN card, the four ports can be configured as 75- or 120-ohm lines. The factory-set default is 120-ohm. Note that for the E1/PRI card you change the impedance using a software command. See the chapter "T1/PRI and E1/PRI Cards" in the Cisco AS5300 Universal Access Module Installation Guide for details.

Cables are not included with the card.

Octal T1/PRI and E1/PRI Cards

You can install an Octal E1/PRI or T1/PRI card in any slot of the access server chassis. The board provides 8 RJ-45 T1 or E1 PRI ports and 4 serial interfaces for backhaul WAN support. Note that these cards do not support Microcom modems.

The T1/PRI ports are configured as 100-ohm per port. For the Octal E1/PRI WAN card, the eight ports can be configured as 75- or 120-ohm lines. The factory-set default is 120-ohm. Note that, unlike the Quad E1/PRI card, the Octal E1/PRI card does not include a rotary switch to choose the input impedance for the ports; you change the impedance using a software command. See the chapter "T1/PRI and E1/PRI Cards" in the Cisco AS5300 Universal Access Module Installation Guide for details.

Cables are not included with the card.

MICA Card

You can install up to two MICA cards in any unpopulated slot of the access server chassis.

Each MICA card includes 10 slots in which you can install 6- or 12-port modem modules.

6-Port Modules

Each 6-port module includes 6 modems. Therefore, in a fully populated MICA card, you can have up to 60 modems. Or, in a fully populated access server chassis, you can have up to 120 modems. Ten of these modem modules can be configured on each of two cards for a total of 60 ports per card or a total of 120 ports per chassis.

The 6-port modules cannot be used as standalone cards and they cannot be installed in Microcom carrier cards.

12-Port Module Cards

Each 12-port module includes 12 modems. Therefore, in a fully populated MICA card, you can have up to 120 ports. Or, in a fully populated access server chassis, you can have up to 120 modems. Ten of these modem modules can be configured on each of two cards for a total of 120 ports per card or a total of 240 ports per chassis.

The 12-port modules cannot be used as standalone cards and they cannot be installed in Microcom carrier cards.

Power Supply

Either an AC or DC power supply is available. The power supply provides DC power to the installed feature cards via connectors on the backplane.

The internal power supply is a four-output switching power supply with power factor correction and regulated outputs.

Voice-over-IP (VoIP) Card

The VoIP card is a coprocessing card and software package that adds VoIP capabilities. The VoIP capability enables a Cisco router to carry live voice traffic (for example, telephone calls and faxes) over an IP network. The VoIP card is available as a spare or a factory-installed card within the chassis.

The VoIP card contains multiple digital signal processor (DSP) modules. It uses the Cisco AS5300`s Quad T1/E1 Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) interface and local-area network (LAN) or wide-area network (WAN) routing capabilities to provide up to a 48/60 channel gateway for VoIP packetized voice traffic to/from T1/E1 time-division multiplexing (TDM) traffic. Major applications of the VoIP cards include:

• Toll bypass

• Remote PBX presence over WANs

• Unified voice/data trunking

• POTS-Internet telephony gateways

You can install up to five DSP modules (DSPMs) onto the VoIP card to perform voice processing for up to 30 B channels.

• CPU: MIPS 4700 100 MHz

• Support chip set: GT-64010 system controller

• DRAM: Standard 72-pin SIMM (4, 8, 16 MB)

• Flash: Cisco proprietary Flash 80-pin SIMM

• Five DSP module sockets

For a detailed discussion of Voice over IP technology, configuration examples, and commands, see Voice Over IP Software Configuration Guide for the Cisco AS5300.

DSP Modules

The DSP module provides voice compression and packetization services to the VoIP card so that you can configure and expand them.

• 6 DSPs per DSP module, use 4 DSP modules for T1 applications and 5 DSP modules for E1 applications

• Uses TI TMS320C542 50 MHz

• DSP SRAM: 128 Kwords (16 bit)

Power Supply

Either an AC or DC single or redundant internal power supply is available. The power supply provides DC power to the installed cards via connectors on the backplane.

The AC or DC redundant power supply is available as a field upgrade (part number AS53-AC-RPS= or AS53-DC-RPS=).

The internal power supply is a four-output switching power supply with power factor correction and regulated outputs.

Management

The AS5300 is managed via the easy to use CiscoView Application. Using a point-and-click Graphical User Interface, Network Managers can monitor the real-time performance and call status of their Universal Access Server. Multiple displays, including a physical and logical view, provide in-progress call status information for both ISDN and Analog K56-Flex Modem calls, PRI, Channelized Line and Ethernet interface statistics.
