New Product: Cisco AS5400 — Universal Gateway

New Product: Cisco AS5400 — Universal Gateway

Product Overview

The Cisco AS5400 is the highest density, carrier-class Universal Gateway on the market offering unparalleled capacity in only 2RUs. Its high density (up to 1 CT3), low power consumption (7.2A at 48 volts DC per CT3), and Universal Port readiness make it ideal for many network deployment architectures, especially co-location environments and mega-PoPs.

The AS5400 offers SS7 Media Gateway interoperability and supports a wide range of IP-based value-added services such as wholesale dial, access VPN, and mobile wireless solutions. As a carrier-class access server, the AS5400 has hot-swappable cards, an internal redundant power supply and environmental monitoring. Its rich set of IOS features enables ISPs and enterprise network managers to meet traditional dial-in needs, while supporting the migration to New World technologies.

Specifications

Hardware

Cisco AS5400 Specification Overview

The Cisco AS5400 provides all the system components that service providers have come to expect from carrier-class products as well as all the routing, WAN, and quality-of-service (QoS) features that are the hallmark of Cisco routing products. The main CPU in the AS5400 is the QED RM7000. This is the same high performance processor used in the 7206 VXR Series router platforms. A Cisco Dial Feature Card (DFC) contains Digital Signal Processors, trunk interfaces, or any other functionality required on an access server. The AS5400 architecture uses distributed processing between the DFCs and the motherboard to optimize the processing path for unparalleled performance.

Egress Interfaces

The AS5400 provides three redundant WAN backhaul methods for moving packets out to the network:

Ingress Interfaces

The AS5400 accepts and consolidates all types of remote traffic, including dial-in analog, digital ISDN, and wireless GSM V.110 calls. The Cisco AS5400 currently supports two ingress types:

Cisco AS5400 CT3 Termination Card

Cisco provides the CT3 card for high density PSTN connectivity. This card provides a maximum of 672 channels via a single CT3 connection. This card is valuable to any customer who wishes to reduce the amount of cables required to deliver 672 channels and take advantage of lower tariffs associated with purchasing a single CT3 circuit versus 28 individual T1 circuits. The CT3 card provides a standards-based M13 multiplexer in conjunction with resources to terminate up to 28 T1s. The CT3 card also includes a CSU for terminating a CT3 trunk directly from the Telco network.

Configuration of any T1 interface contained within the CT3 interface can be provisioned independently of other CT1 interfaces included within the same CT3 facility. Users can configure the CT3 card to carry ISDN PRI trunks (each connected to a different switch type), and a variety of North American RBS signaling types such as "Loop-Start" and "Ground-Start" all on the same Cisco AS5400 platform. Configuring the CT3 interface and accompanying PRI/T1 trunks can be performed using the standard Cisco IOS CLI.

The CT3 card can be used for both ingress and egress at the same time. An example configuration would be to use 22 T1 circuits for inbound traffic and 6 T1"s for outbound backhaul. This would allow the AS5400 to provide a large density of modems in a remote POP environment with only a power cable and a CT3 line running to the server.

Following is a brief description of the CT3 interface type and PRI/T1 trunk types supported:

Cisco AS5400 8-Port T1/E1 Termination Card

When provisioned for channelized E1 trunks, the card provides physical termination for up to 8 E1 R2, Primary Rate Interface (PRI), or Inter Machine Trunks (IMTs). When provisioned as a channelized T1 trunk card, it provides physical termination for up to 8 T1 CAS, PRI or IMT trunks, and includes channel service units (CSUs) that connect directly to the telco network. Non-intrusive monitoring of individual T1/E1 signals is available at the front of the T1/E1 termination card via standard 100 Ohm bantam jacks.

The Cisco AS5400 configured with two 8-port interface cards can terminate 16 T1 or E1 trunks. Any of the interface ports on these trunk cards can be configured independently of any other interface. Therefore, users can configure a variety of North American T1 trunks, European E1 trunks, and ISDN PRI trunks (each connected to a different switch type), all within the same Cisco AS5400 platform. The standard Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) can be used to configure each trunk.

The following is a brief description of the trunk types supported.

Cisco AS5400 108-port Modem Card

Cisco AS5400 108-port modem card, is a full-featured DSP-based card that supports either 108 modem or GSM calls. Modem management features are available for troubleshooting, which include modem status, real-time call-in-progress statistics, modem activity log, hard/soft busy out, and modem firmware upgrade. Additional information can be obtained through the console, SNMP, or RADIUS accounting via the call tracker feature.
