Introduction

The Cisco AS5200 universal access server is a multifaceted data communications platform that provides all the functions of an access server, a router, modems, and terminal adapters (TAs) in a modular chassis. Mid-sized organizations or service providers requiring centralized processing capabilities for mobile users and telecommuters will benefit the most using the Cisco AS5200 universal access server.

With its optimization for high-speed modem access, the Cisco AS5200 universal access server is ideally suited for all traditional dial-up applications, such as host access, electronic mail, file transfer, and dial-in access to a local area network.

For information on new features and Cisco IOS commands supported by Cisco IOS Release 11.2(23) P, see "New and Changed Information" section and "Related Documentation" section.

Bundled Modem Code for the Cisco AS5200

Bundled modem code version 3.3.20 was provided in Cisco IOS Releases 11.2(15)P and 11.2(16)P.

New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10) P

Modem Pooling for the Cisco AS5200

Modem pooling allows service providers to define, select, and use separate pools of modems within a single access server or router to provide different dial-in services. Modem allocation is based on the dialed number identification service (DNIS) and a predetermined number of modem ports based on DNIS.

There are a number of applications for using the call setup information, including DNIS/ANI, processing incoming call requests with CallerID, and selecting services to set up "automatically" for specified calls. These uses generally fall into two categories: those requiring allocation of a specific number of modems for a specific service, and those requiring allocation of specific physical modems.

Note For step-by-step software configuration information, refer to the online feature module Modem Pooling for the Cisco AS5200, which is part of the online publication Feature Guide for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P. For instructions on how to reach this publication via CCO or the Documentation CD-ROM, refer to the "Related Documentation" section.

Web Cache Control Protocol for the Cisco AS5200

The Web Cache Control Protocol (WCCP) feature allows you to use a Cisco Cache Engine to handle web traffic, thus reducing transmission costs and downloading time. This traffic includes user requests to view pages and graphics on World Wide Web servers, whether internal or external to your network, and the replies to those requests.

Web caches reduce transmission costs and the amount of time required to download web files. If a client requests a web page that is already cached, the request and data only have to travel between the Cisco Cache Engine and the client. Without a web cache, the request and reply must travel over the Internet or wide-area network.

Cisco IOS support of WCCP provides a transparent web cache solution. Users can benefit from web proxy caches without having to configure clients to contact a specific proxy server in order to reach web resources. Many web proxy caches require clients to reach web resources through a specific proxy web server rather than using the originally requested web server URL. With WCCP, the clients send web requests to the desired web server URL. Cisco IOS routers intelligently intercept HTTP requests and transparently redirect them to a Cisco Cache Engine.

Note For step-by-step software configuration information, refer to the online feature module Web Cache Control Protocol, which is part of the online publication Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10+)P New Feature Documentation. For instructions on how to reach this publication via CCO or the Documentation CD-ROM, refer to the "Related Documentation" section.

Flash Load Helper for the Cisco AS5200

This feature enables you to upgrade the system software on run-from-Flash memory systems that have a single bank of Flash memory. It is a lower-cost software upgrade solution than dual-bank Flash memory, which requires two banks of Flash memory on one SIMM.

Flash Load Helper is an automated procedure that reloads the ROM-based image, downloads the software to Flash memory, and reboots to the system image in Flash memory. Flash Load Helper performs checks and validations to maximize the success of a Flash memory upgrade and to minimize the chance of leaving Flash memory either in an erased state or with a file that cannot boot.

Fastboot for the Cisco AS5200

This feature speeds up the boot process by using the system image directly from the system bootstrap image without accessing the boot image. To enable this feature, perform a write memory by entering the copy running-config startup-config command when running Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10) P or later.

Note If you run an image earlier than Cisco IOS Release 11.2(7) P or perform a write memory with Release 11.2(7) P to 11.2(9) P, the feature will automatically disable itself.

Bundled Modem Code for the Cisco AS5200

For 56K modems, bundled modem code version 3.1.30 was provided. The modem code filename is:

mcom-modem-code-3.1.30.bin

New Software Features in Releases 11.2(6) P through Release 11.2(9) P

There are no new software features supported by the Cisco AS5200 in Cisco IOS Release 11.2(6)P though Release 11.2(9)P.

New Software Features in Release 11.2(5) P

The following new feature is supported by the Cisco AS5200 only and are available in Cisco IOS Release 11.2(5) P and later.

Channelized E1 Signaling for the Cisco AS5200

Cisco IOS Release 11.2(5) P and later support channel-associated signaling for channelized E1 lines, which are commonly deployed in networks in Latin America, Asia, and Europe.

After this feature is configured on a single E1 controller, up to 30 remote users can simultaneously dial in to the Cisco AS5200 through networks running the R2 protocol. Typically, all 30 channels of a channelized E1 line are used for analog calls. However, a signal converter is still needed to perform conversions between R2 signaling and ear and mouth signaling (also known as E&M). Because the Cisco AS5200 has two physical E1 ports on its dual E1 Primary Rate Interface (PRI) board, up to 60 simultaneous connections can be made through the dual E1 PRI board.

These service adapters provide high-performance, hardware-based data compression capabilities via simultaneous stacker compression data compression algorithms with independent full-duplex compression and decompression capabilities on Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) encapsulated packets.

Note For step-by-step software configuration information, refer to the feature module Channelized E1 Signaling for the Cisco AS5200, which is published in the Feature Guide for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P. For instructions on how to reach this publication via CCO or the Documentation CD-ROM, refer to the "Related Documentation" section.

New Software Features in Releases 11.2(3) P through Release 11.2(4) P

There are no new software features supported by the Cisco AS5200 in Cisco IOS Release 11.2(3) P through Release 11.2(4) P.

New Features in Releases 11.2(1) P through 11.2(2) P

The following new features are supported by the Cisco AS5200 only and are available in Cisco IOS Release 11.2(1) P and later.

Robbed-Bit Signaling for the Cisco AS5200

Ground-start and loop-start signaling was provided for channelized T1. This new signaling is set using the cas-group controller configuration command.

For step-by-step software configuration information, refer to the feature module Channelized E1 Signaling for the Cisco AS5200, which is published in the Feature Guide for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P. For instructions on how to reach this publication via CCO or the Documentation CD-ROM, refer to the "Related Documentation" section.

Dual E1 PRI for the Cisco AS5200

A new E1 PRI card providing physical termination for two E1 PRI lines was introduced. Unlike most controller E1 configurations, the Cisco AS5200's E1 PRI controllers require a clock source, which is set with the clock source command.

Note For step-by-step software configuration information, refer to the feature module Channelized E1 Signaling for the Cisco AS5200, which is published in the Feature Guide for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P. For instructions on how to reach this publication via CCO or the Documentation CD-ROM, refer to the "Related Documentation" section.

Obtaining Documentation

World Wide Web

You can access the most current Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.

Documentation CD-ROM

Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM is updated monthly. Therefore, it is probably more current than printed documentation. The CD-ROM package is available as a single unit or as an annual subscription.

Ordering Documentation

Registered CCO users can order the Documentation CD-ROM and other Cisco Product documentation through our online Subscription Services at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/subcat/kaojump.cgi.

Nonregistered CCO users can order documentation through a local account representative by calling Cisco's corporate headquarters (California, USA) at 408 526-4000 or, in North America, call 800 553-NETS (6387).

Obtaining Technical Assistance

Cisco provides Cisco Connection Online (CCO)  as a starting point for all technical assistance. Warranty or maintenance contract customers can use the Technical Assistance Center. All customers can submit technical feedback on Cisco documentation using the web, e-mail, a self-addressed stamped response card included in many printed documents, or by sending mail to Cisco.
