Contents

These release notes describe the following topics:

Introduction

The Cisco AS5300 universal access servers provide a versatile data communications platform that performs two functions in a single modular chassis depending on the installed feature cards and Cisco IOS images:

The remote access server is intended for Internet service providers (ISPs), telecommunications carriers, and other service providers that offer managed Internet connections, and also 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 analog dial access services to digital dial access services.

The Cisco AS5300/Voice Gateway is a versatile data communications platform that provides the functions of an access server, router, and digital modem(s) in a single modular chassis. The Cisco AS5300 includes three feature card slots: one holds a T1/E1/PRI feature card, and the other two support modem feature cards or voice digital signal processor (DSP) feature cards. When equipped with modem cards, the Cisco AS5300 serves as a remote access concentrator for dial-up (modem or ISDN) Internet access. When equipped with voice feature cards and Cisco Voice IOS, the Cisco AS5300/Voice Gateway serves as a voice (VoIP) gateway. By using one slot for modems and the other for voice DSPs, the Cisco AS5300 can serve in both capacities. Modem, voice, or fax calls are routed to the appropriate cards/resources via Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS).

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.

    IOS (tm) 12.0 Software c5300-js-mz, Version 12.0(13), RELEASE SOFTWARE
    

Upgrading to a New Software Release

For general information about upgrading to a new software release, see Cisco   IOS Upgrade Ordering Instructions  located at:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/iosw/prodlit/957_pp.htm

Modem Code Software

Cisco IOS Release 12.0 and later includes bundled modem code, 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 access server starts, the Cisco IOS software unpacks the modem code and loads the proper code on the modem cards. Table 3 lists bundled 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 AS5300 Universal Access Servers and the Cisco AS5300 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 Modules and Carrier Cards in Cisco AS5300 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.

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.

Feature Set Table

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.

Obtaining Documentation

World Wide Web

You can access the most current Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com. Translated documentation can be accessed at http://www.cisco.com/public/countries_languages.shtml.

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.
