For a list of all the software caveats that apply to Release 11.2(23)P, see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P that accompanies these release notes. The caveats document is updated for every maintenance release and is also located on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Use these release notes with Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
These release notes describe the following topics:
The Cisco AS5300 universal access server is a versatile data communications platform that provides the functions of an access server, router, and digital modems in a single modular chassis. The access server is intended for Internet service providers (ISPs), telecommunications carriers, and other service providers that offer managed Internet connections, in addition to medium to large sites that provide both digital and analog access to users on an enterprise network. By terminating both analog and digital calls on the same chassis simultaneously, the access server provides a clear, simple, and easy migration path from today's analog dial access services to tomorrow's digital dial access services.

The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco AS5300 for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P.
There are no new hardware features supported by the Cisco AS5300 for Cisco IOS Release 11.2(23) P.
There are no new software features supported by the Cisco AS5300 for Cisco IOS Release 11.2(12) P through Cisco IOS Release 11.2(23) P.
A new command, show modemcap, is supported in Cisco IOS Release 11.2(11) P, but the command does not show up in the show modem help menu. The command output shows the versions of modem code in three locations: bundled with the Cisco IOS software, residing in Flash memory, and mapped to the modems.
|
Note The factory might have installed a version of modem code later than the one bundled with the Cisco IOS software. |
The modem code release notes are on CCO and on the Documentation CD-ROM:

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.
For Microcom modems, Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10) P and later include bundled modem code, Version 3.1.30. The modem code filename is: mcom-modem-code-3.1.30.bin.
For MICA modems, Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10) P and later are bundled with MICA portware Version 2.0.1.7.

There are three types of E1 R2 signaling that you can configure with the cas-group command: compelled, semi-compelled, and non-compelled. However, each country has its own E1 R2 specifications, which might follow the ITU-T Q.400-Q.490 recommendation for R2 signaling. Unique E1 R2 signaling parameters for specific countries are set by issuing the cas-custom channel command followed by the country name command.
In Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10) and later, the Cisco AS5300 access server now supports 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 AS5300 through networks running the R2 protocol. Typically, all channels of a channelized E1 line are used for analog calls. Because the Cisco AS5300 has four physical E1 ports on its quad E1 Primary Rate Interface (PRI) board, up to 120 simultaneous connections can be made through the quad E1/PRI board.
New types of signaling provided for a channelized T1 include ground-start and loop-start support. This new signaling is set using the cas-group controller configuration command.
This new E1 PRI card has four E1 controllers, which provide physical termination for four E1 PRI lines. The Cisco AS5300's E1 PRI controllers require a clock source, which is set with the clock source command.
In addition, the quad E1 card can be software-configured for channelized or PRI operation. An additional hardware selecter switch is provided for configuration for balanced 75-ohm or unbalanced 120-ohm operation.
Cisco IOS Releases 11.2(10) P through 11.2(14) P include bundled Microcom firmware Version 3.1.30. Cisco IOS Release 11.2(15) P and later include bundled firmware Version 3.3.20.
Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10) P through 11.2(15) P include bundled MICA portware Version 2.0.1.7. Cisco IOS Release 11.2(16) P and later include bundled MICA portware Version 2.3.1.0.
Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS software releases. Severity 1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity 2 caveats are less serious.
For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P, see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P located on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
All caveats in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 are also in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P.
