As Cisco revises its Voice feature card software, you can download these upgrades from Cisco. Use the steps in this section to upgrade your Voice feature card software.
Before downloading a new version of VCware, be sure to verify that the version of VCware is compatible with the specific release of Cisco IOS software already running on the access server. A compatibility matrix is posted on CCO's Software Center.
This chapter includes the following sections:
To download software to your VFC, you need to:
To determine the number of VFC in the system and what slot they are on, perform the following task in privileged EXEC (enable) mode:
| Step | Command | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5300>enable Password: <password> 5300# | Enter enable mode. Enter the password. You have entered enable mode when the prompt changes to |
| 2 | 5300#show vfc 0 board show vfc 1 board show vfc 1 board 5300# | Use the procedures in this section to upgrade the software for each card in the system that needs to be updated. |
To identify the VFC ROM Monitor software version, perform the following task in privileged EXEC (enable) mode:
| Step | Command | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5300>enable Password: <password> 5300# | Enter enable mode. Enter the password. You have entered enable mode when the prompt changes to |
| 2 | 5300#show vfc slot_number version vcware 5300# | Show the VFC ROM Monitor version your selected voice card is running. |
To identify the VFC/ROM Monitor software version, perform the following task in privileged EXEC (enable) mode:
| Step | Command | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5300>enable Password: <password> 5300# | Enter enable mode. Enter the password. You have entered enable mode when the prompt changes to |
| 3 | 5300#show vfc slot_number [VCWARE running|ROMMON] board 5300# | Shows whether your selected voice card is running in VCWare mode or in ROM Monitor mode. |
After you have determined in which mode your voice card is running, go to one of the following procedures:
Use the steps in the following table to download new voice software if your voice card is running in VCWare mode from a floppy diskette. To do so, first copy the software from the floppy diskette to a TFTP server. After the software is on the TFTP server, begin the steps in the following Configure section.
| Step | Command | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5300#erase vfc slot_number This will erase the contents of VFC Flash. Continue ?[y/n]:yes This will take some time. Please, wait...vfc | Erase the contents of the VFC Flash in the selected voice card. |
| 2 | 5300#show vfc slot_number directory | Verify that the VFC Flash memory is empty. |
| 3 | 5300#copy tftp vfc Voice card slot number <slot ? 1> Address or name of remote host [UNKNOWN]? 223.255.212.244 Source file name? vcware.vcw Destination file name [vcware.vcw]? vcware.vcw ! note, the destination filename is *IMPORTANT* Accessing file 'vcware.VCW' on 223.255.212.244... Loading vcware.vcw from 223.255.212.244 (via Ethernet0): | Use TFTP to download the new images to VFC flash memory. Note If the VFC ROM version is 1.1 the image name must end with the extension ".VCW" (all uppercase). If the VFC ROM is version 1.2, the image name must begin with "vcw-" (all lowercase) and no other character can be in front of the "vcw-", so no directory path should be prepended to the image name. |
| 4 | 5300>clear vfc slot_number | Reboot the voice feature card so you can add the new VCWare image into the voice card. |
| 5 | 5300>enable Password: <password> 5300# | Re-enter enable mode. Enter the password. You have entered enable mode when the prompt changes to |
| 6 | 5300#show vfc slot_number board 5300# | Check to see if the VFC is back up in VCWare mode. |
| 7 | 5300#show vfc slot_number directory 5300# | Verify that VCWare is in the VFC Flash. |
| 8 | 5300#unbundle vfc slot_number
| Unbundle the DSPWare from the VCWare and configure the default file list and the capability list. |
| 9 | 5300#show vfc slot_number directory 5300# | Verify that the DSPWare has been unbundled. |
| 10 | 5300#show vfc slot_number default-list 5300# | Verify that the default file list has been populated. |
| 11 | 5300#show vfc slot_number cap-list 5300# | Verify that the capability list has been populated. |
After you have completed the preceding tasks, reboot the Cisco AS5300 for these changes to take effect.
To check that you have successfully downloaded the software:
5300# show vfc 1 dir
Files in slot 1 VFC flash:
File Name Size (Bytes)

5300# show vfc 1 default-list % Invalid input detected at '^' marker. 5300# show vfc 1 cap-list Capability List for VFC in slot 1: 1. fax-vfc-l.0.13.0.bin 2. bas-vfc-l.0.13.0.bin 3. cdc-g729-l.0.13.0.bin 4. cdc-g711-l.0.13.0.bin 5300#
If you are having trouble downloading the voice feature card software in VCWare mode, try the following:
5300# show vfc 1 board VFC board state is UP, vfc status VCWARE running(0x4) VFC board in slot 1 with 18 dsps 5300#
After you have completed the preceding tasks, reboot the Cisco AS5300 for these changes to take effect.
Use the steps in the following table to download new voice software if your voice card is running in ROM Monitor mode from a floppy diskette.

[OK - 291292/291328 bytes] [OK - 291292/291292 bytes] | Use TFTP to download the new images to VFC Flash memory.
Note If the VFC ROM version is 1.1 the image name must end with the extension ".VCW" (all uppercase). If the VFC ROM is version 1.2, the image name must begin with "vcw-" (all lowercase) and no other character can be in front of the "vcw-", so no directory path should be prepended to the image name. |
