Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Server Overview

Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Server Overview

The Cisco AS5200 universal access server is a versatile data communications platform that provides the functions of an access server, a router, modems, and terminal adapters (TAs) in a modular chassis.

The access server provides the greatest benefit for midsized organizations or service providers that need to centralize processing capabilities for mobile users and telecommuters.

The access server is optimized for high-speed modem access and is ideally suited for all traditional dial-up applications, such as access to a host, electronic mail, file transfer, and dial-in access to a LAN.

System Components

The access server consists of the following components:

Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of the access server, and Figure 1-2 shows the rear panel.

Feature Cards

The access server includes three slots in which you can install a combination of the following feature cards:

You can install one of the following feature cards in any of the three available slots:

In the two remaining slots, you can install carrier cards.

Dual T1/PRI Card

The dual T1/PRI card routes incoming digital T1 lines to the 12-port modules. The dual T1/PRI card provides RJ-48C connectors to terminate trunks. The dual T1/PRI card performs all necessary equalization and gain functions to support 6000 feet of 24-gauge unshielded cable. This card complies with all Bell Core standards relating to T1 (ANSI T1.403) alarms, loopbacks, and error detection. The dual T1/PRI card is equipped with integrated CSUs.

The dual T1/PRI card handles up to 48 digital signal level 0 (DS-0) channels from two trunks. Each channel carries either a pulse code modulation (PCM)-encoded voice channel or digital data. The dual T1/PRI card supports 64-kbps clear channel operation for data or voice channels and feature group B operation for voice channels.

Figure 1-3 shows the dual T1/PRI card.


Figure 1-3: Dual T1/PRI Card



Dual E1/PRI Card

The dual E1/PRI card is installed in the access server to provide physical termination for two E1/PRI lines. The card is designed to support the E1 cable standard of 30 Bearer (B) channels for voice and data, one Data (D) channel for signaling, and one channel for framing. Each channel transmits at up to 64 kbps for a combined total of 2.048 Mbps for each E1/PRI line.

The access server is used to service calls from users accessing remote services using a variety of network protocols. Calls are terminated in the access server through 60 modems installed on optional 12-port modules. User data can then be routed through the Ethernet or synchronous serial ports on the access server chassis.

The following list describes the features of the Dual E1/PRI card:

The dual E1/PRI card is shown in Figure 1-4.


Figure 1-4: Dual E1/PRI Card



Carrier Card

You can install up to two carrier cards in any unpopulated slot of the access server chassis. Each carrier card includes two slots in which you can install any combination of the following 12-port modules:

The modules connect through the carrier card and the system backplane to a dual T1/PRI or dual E1/PRI card installed in the access server chassis. Data is transmitted or received on T1 or E1 lines connected to the dual T1/PRI or dual E1/PRI card and then routed to the 12-port modules installed in the carrier card.

Figure 1-5 shows the carrier card.


Figure 1-5: Carrier Card



12-Port Modules

The access server supports the following 12-port modules:

In an access server with a dual T1/PRI card installed, you can install up to four 12-port modules for a total of 48 ports. If your access server includes a dual E1/PRI card, you can install up to five 12-port modules for a total of 60 ports. The dual E1/PRI card (see Figure 1-4) includes an extra slot for a 12-port module, which provides you with 12 extra ports to terminate up to 60 lines.


Note The 12-port modules are not included unless specified by your order. You can order bundled systems that include 12-port modules or you can order the modules separately. Refer to the section "Getting Help" in the appendix "Troubleshooting the Universal Access Server" for ordering information.

V.34 12-Port Module

Each modem on the V.34 12-port module supports V.42bis data compression and uses the Hayes Smartmodem AT and V.25bis command sets. The Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP) and V.42 error-correction protocol standards provide error-free performance. The modem offers MNP Class 10 with Adverse Channel Enhancements (ACE). MNP 10 includes:

The V.34 module supports the following protocol and modulation standards:

Figure 1-6 shows the V.34 12-port module.


Figure 1-6: V.34 12-Port Module



56K 12-Port Module

The 56K 12-port module uses Rockwell's K56Flex technology. The module can send data at up to 56 kbps and receive data at up to 33.6 kbps. Connections at 56 kbps start as analog, are converted to digital, and are not converted back to analog at the service provider. Because one conversion (from digital to analog) is omitted, speeds of up to 56 kbps are possible. However, the actual speed that you can achieve with the module depends on the condition of your local telephone network.


Note The initial release of the 56K module operates at up to 33.6 kbps (V.34) and offers a firmware upgrade to enable 56 kbps (K56Flex) when it is available.

The 56K 12-port module supports the following protocol and modulation standards:

Figure 1-7 shows the 56K 12-port module.

V.110 12-Port Module

The V.110 12-port module includes onboard terminal adapters (TAs) that can terminate up to 12 V.110 rate-adapted digital calls. The V.110 rate adaption protocol is used primarily for:

The V.110 12-port module includes the following features:

Figure 1-8 shows the V.110 12-port module.
