Note You can find the most current Cisco IOS documentation on Cisco Connection Online (CCO). These electronic documents may contain updates and modifications made after the hardcopy documents were printed. |
These release notes for Cisco AS5200 universal access servers support Cisco IOS Release 12.0(13). These release notes are updated to describe new memory requirements, hardware support, software platform deferrals, and changes to the microcode or modem code and related documents.
For a list of the software caveats that apply to Cisco IOS Release 12.0, see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 that accompanies these release notes. The caveats document is updated for every maintenance release and is located on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Use these release notes with Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
These release notes describe the following topics:
Cisco AS5200 universal access servers are multifaceted data communications platforms that provide the functions of access servers, routers, 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 by using Cisco AS5200 universal access servers.
With their optimization for high-speed modem access, Cisco AS5200 universal access servers are 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 12.0(13), see "New and Changed Information" section and "Related Documentation" section.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/iosw/prodlit/957_pp.htm
Cisco IOS Release 11.2 and later releases, including Release 12.0, include bundled modem code for the Cisco AS5200, which is the firmware or portware that runs on the Microcom 12-port and MICA 6-port modem cards. Modem code is bundled with the Cisco IOS software image to eliminate the need to store separate modem code. When the Cisco AS5200 is turned on, the Cisco IOS software unpacks the modem code and loads the proper code on the modem cards. Table 3 lists the current modem code versions.
|
Note The Cisco factory could have installed a later version of modem code than the one bundled with the Cisco IOS software. The factory installs modem code in Flash memory and maps that code to the modems. For information about installing Microcom 12-port modem cards and how Cisco IOS software uses Microcom modem code, see Installing 56K 12-Port Modem Modules in Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Servers and the Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Server Software Configuration Guide. For information about installing MICA 6-port modem cards and how Cisco IOS software uses MICA modem code, see Installing 6-Port MICA Modules and Carrier Cards in Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Servers and the Cisco AS5300 Universal Access Server Software Configuration Guide. |
The Cisco IOS Software Upgrade Planner on CCO contains information about downloading software. To access this document from CCO, click Login on the CCO home page to access all information. From the CCO home page, go to the Service & Support area menu, click Software Center, then Cisco IOS Software or IOS Upgrade Planner.

| Modem Code Modules | Current Bundled Modem Code Version | Cisco IOS Software Releases |
|---|---|---|
MICA Portware (V.110) | 2.7.1.0 | Release 12.0(5)T and later |
Microcom Firmware (56K, V.90) | 5.1.20 | Release 12.0(5)T and later |
|
Note The Cisco factory could have installed a later version of modem code than the one bundled with the Cisco IOS software. When this happens, the factory installs modem code in Flash memory and maps that code to the modems. Unless you fully understand how Cisco IOS software uses modem code, it is important to keep the factory configuration. |
The Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets consisting of software images—depending on the platform. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features.
 |
Caution Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit (3DES) data encryption feature sets) are subject to United States government export controls and have limited distribution. Strong encryption images to be installed outside the United States are likely to require an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay due to United States government regulations. When applicable, purchaser/user must obtain local import and use authorizations for all encryption strengths. Please contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com. |
