The Cisco AS5200 universal access server now supports 56K digital modem cards.
56K modems are used for making high-speed connections across digital networks. Ultimately, this means that files transmitted up to 56 kbps arrive at the desktop at nearly twice the speed of standard V.34 (28.8-kbps) connections. The wait for information is reduced by nearly 50 percent.
56K modems are ideal for serious Internet users who want to quickly dial in to corporate LANs or download web pages containing sound, video, graphics, and other large files over digital networks using standard telephone lines.
Traditional modems assume that both ends of a modem conversation use an analog connection over the public switched telephone network. Data signals are converted from digital to analog and back again to digital, limiting transmission speeds to 33.6 kbps. 56K modems however, assume that one end of the modem conversation has a pure digital connection to the phone network and takes advantage of that high-speed digital connection. This is a new technique where the network is viewed as a digital transmission medium and the data is encoded for transmission over an end user's telephone line, which is also known as the local loop. The downstream data is digitally encoded instead of being modulated. Upstream analog-to-digital communication at the local loop can transmit up to 33.6 kbps. Downstream digital to analog communication at the local loop can transmit up to 56 kbps. To maximize channel bandwidth for 56 kbps connections, the ISDN PRI interface must be used. (See Figure 11.)
DSP--Digital signal processor. Special DSP software must be copied to the 56K modems, to enable speeds up to 56 kbps. This file is posted on Cisco System's FTP server. Download instructions are provided later in this document. See the section "Configuration Tasks."
The following prerequisites apply to this feature:
You must run specific compatible versions of 56K modem firmware and DSP software to experience K56flex modulation. These files are not included in the 56K modem cards. This section describes how to download these software files from Cisco System's FTP server (called CCO) to your 56K modems. (See Figure 12.)
Before 56K modems were introduced, modem firmware was upgraded with a single firmware file stored in the modem's Flash memory. The file remained in the modem's Flash memory. However with 56K modems, the modem's Flash memory is not large enough to retain the necessary software to transmit at 56 kbps. Therefore the software is divided in to two parts--56K modem firmware and DSP software. The firmware resides in the modem's Flash memory. The DSP software, which is the core intelligence of K56flex technology, runs from the access server's RAM. Because the DSP software is not retained across reloads or power cycles, the image is stored in the access server's boot Flash memory. (See Figure 13.)
Take the following steps to enable 56K modems to transmit at speeds up to 56 kbps:
For instructions on how to install 56K modem cards, refer to the publication Installing 56K Modem Cards in Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Servers. This document came with your 56K modem card.
Table 27 describes the firmware and DSP software posted to Cisco System's FTP server, which is called CCO. You must download these files to a TFTP server on your LAN then copy the files to the 56K modems installed in the access server.
File Type | File Posted to Cisco's FTP Server | File Destination |
---|---|---|
56K modem firmware | mcom-modem-fw-3.1.30-1.1.0.bin | Flash memory on the 56K modems |
56K DSP software | mcom-modem-dsp-3.1.30-1.1.0.bin | boot Flash memory on the Cisco AS5200 |
Choose a method to download these files from Cisco Systems:
Log in to Cisco's Software Center at the following URL to download both 56K files. You must log in as a Cisco registered user. After the files are downloaded to your desktop computer, you must transfer them to a TFTP server on your network using a FTP application.
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/as5200.pl
Take the following steps to download both 56K files from Cisco's FTP server using an FTP client application.
Step 1 Log in to Cisco System's CCO FTP server, which is called cco.cisco.com:
ftp cco.cisco.com
Step 2 Enter your CCO registered username and password (for example, harry and letmein):
harry
letmein
Step 3 Specify the directory that holds the modem firmware and DSP software files, which is /cisco/access/5200/56k:
cd /cisco/access/5200/56k
Step 4 View the contents of the directory with the ls command:
ls
Step 5 Specify a binary image transfer:
binary
Step 6 Copy the modem firmware and DSP software files from the server to your local environment with the get command. Copy the following two files:
The following example downloads the DSP software file:
get mcom-modem-dsp-3.1.30-1.1.0.bin
The following example downloads the modem firmware file:
get mcom-modem-fw-3.1.30-1.1.0.bin
Step 7 Quit your terminal session:
quit
Step 8 Verify that you successfully transferred the files to your local directory:
ls -al
pwd
If you haven't already done so, you must now transfer these files to a local TFTP server that your Cisco AS5200 can access.
The procedure for copying the 56K modem firmware from a local TFTP server to the 56K modem's Flash memory is described in this section:
Before you back up your boot Flash image with the copy bootflash tftp command, you must create an empty destination file on your local TFTP server:
Step 1 Log on to the Cisco AS5200 and find out the name of the boot image file in boot Flash memory with the show bootflash command:
enable
letmein
show bootflash
Step 2 Go to your TFTP server and create an empty file using your boot image's filename, then change its permissions to be world writable:
touch c5200-is-l.112-6.4
chmod 666 c5200-is-l.112-6.4
ls -l c5200-is-l.112-6.4
The placeholder or destination file is now created and prepared for the backup copy operation. Proceed to the next section "Step 2Back Up the Boot Flash Image and Disable Modem Autoconfigure."
Perform the following steps on the Cisco AS5200:
Step 1 Back up your Boot Flash image to a local TFTP server on your network with the copy bootflash tftp command. This provides a recovery mechanism for you in case you accidentally erase or damage your Boot Flash image in one of the later steps.
copy bootflash tftp
Step 2 Enter global configuration mode and disable the modem autoconfigure command on the TTY lines that correspond with the 56K modems. Ignore this step if this command is not enabled in your system configuration. In the following example, one 12-port 56K modem card is installed in slot 2:
configure terminal
line 13 24
no modem autoconfigure
exit
exit
The boot image is now backed up and modem autoconfigure is disabled. Proceed to the next section "Step 3Upgrade to the Latest 56K Modem Firmware."
Perform the following steps:
Step 1 Log in to the Cisco AS5200 and copy the new modem firmware file from your TFTP server directly to the installed 56K modems using the copy tftp modem Privileged EXEC command:
copy tftp modem
Step 2 Specify the range of 56K modems that you want to upgrade. This example shows the range of modems to be 2/12 through 2/23:
2/12-2/23
Step 3 Specify the name or address of the TFTP server holding the new modem firmware. Press the Return key to accept the default name or IP address enclosed in the brackets []. Also specify the source path/filename of the firmware.
tftp-server
mcom-modem-fw-3.1.30-1.1.0.bin
The 56K modems are now upgraded to the latest version of modem firmware. Proceed to the next section "Copy the RAM-Based DSP Software to the 56K Modems."
The procedure for copying the DSP software from to a local file server to the access server's boot Flash memory is described in this section:
These two steps are performed only once. Although the DSP software runs from RAM, the Cisco IOS software automatically copies the DSP code from boot Flash memory to the 56K modems each time the access server power cycles in the future. After you copy the DSP software in to boot Flash memory for the first time, you should not have to perform these steps again.
Step 1 Copy the DSP software file from your TFTP server to the access server's boot Flash memory using the copy tftp bootflash command. The Cisco IOS software prompts you with a sequence of questions such as name/address of the TFTP server and the DSP filename to be copied. Answer all of the questions accordingly.
copy tftp bootflash
Step 2 Specify the address or name of the server that currently holds the DSP software. You must also specify the source path/filename of the DSP software and the destination filename. The system software proposes a destination filename for you, which is enclosed in square brackets []. Press the Return key to accept the default destination name.
tftp-server
mcom-modem-dsp-3.1.30-1.1.0.bin
Step 3
When the system asks to confirm erasing the Flash memory device before copying the DSP file, enter no. You will now see a warning message appear that says the DSP file cannot be executed on the system (unlike a feature set or system image). Ignore this message.
no
Step 4 Initiate the copy operation by entering y then pressing the Return key at the [confirm] prompt:
y
Step 5 Continue with the copy operation by entering yes and pressing the Return key:
yes
Now the DSP software is in the access server's boot Flash memory. Proceed to the next section, "Step 2Copy the RAM-Based DSP Software from Boot Flash Memory to the 56K Modems" for step-by-step instructions on how to transfer the DSP image to the 56K modems.
Step 1 Copy the DSP software to the 56K modems by entering the copy flash modem Privileged EXEC command. After you enter this command, specify the range of 56K modems that you want to target with the DSP software. In this example, only one 12-port 56K modem board is installed in the Cisco AS5200.
copy flash modem
2/12-2/23
Step 2 Specify the filename of the DSP software and press the Return key. Note that the filename must be preceded by bootflash:, which is necessary to address the file that is stored in boot Flash memory.
bootflash:mcom-modem-dsp-3.1.30-1.1.0.bin
Step 3 Proceed with the DSP download by entering y and pressing the Return key:
y
Step 4 Verify that the DSP software copied to the 56K modems with the show modem version command. In this example, modems 2/12 through 2/23 are loaded with the new DSP software:
show modem version
During the DSP download process, you may receive an error message if the download fails. Use Table 27 to troubleshoot the reason for failure.

The boot Flash memory in your Cisco AS5200 may not have the available space to accept the additional 56K images or files. If you experience this, you must erase the entire boot Flash memory followed by restoring the boot image before performing the necessary 56K copy operations. Because the Cisco AS5200's Flash file system does not allow individual files to be erased from boot Flash memory, you must erase the entire contents of boot Flash memory at one time. To do this, refer to the following table.
![]() | Warning Do not proceed with erasing your boot Flash memory unless you have a back up of your boot image on your TFTP server. |
Task | Command |
---|---|
Step 1 If you haven't already done so, upload your current boot image to a local TFTP server. The contents of the boot Flash memory is displayed and the system software prompts you for the source filename to be copied. | copy bootflash tftp |
Step 2 Erase the entire contents of the boot Flash memory. | erase bootflash |
Step 3 Copy the boot image from your local file server to the Cisco AS5200's boot Flash memory. Specify the destination filename that was copied in Step 1. | copy tftp bootflash |
Step 4 Copy the 56K modem firmware and DSP software files as described in the section "Copy the RAM-Based DSP Software to the 56K Modems." |
This section provides command reference documentation for the show modem command, which is modified to support the 56K modem technology.
To display modem performance statistics on a Cisco AS5200, use the show modem EXEC command.

Field | Description |
---|---|
Mdm | Slot and modem number. |
Typ | Modulation type, which can be any of the following values:
|
Status | Current status of the modem. Possible values include:
|
Tx/Rx | Transmission and receiving speed for the most recently connected call. |
G | Modem group number assigned to the modem. The group number 0 means the modem is not part of any group. |
Duration | Time duration of the current call or the last call. |
Modem functions | The following modem functions are displayed on manageable modems. A field that is available and turned on is marked with an x. An unavailable field is marked with a dash (-).
TX--Transmit Data. The DTE transmits data to the DCE. RX--Receive Data. The DCE receives data from the DTE. RTS--Request To Send. The DTE signals to the DCE that the DTE accepts data into its buffers. CTS--Clear To Send. The DCE signals to the DTE that the DCE accepts data into its buffers. DSR--Data Set Ready. The modem is ready to start communication. DCD--Data Carrier Detect. The DCE indicates to the DTE that a call is present and established with a remote modem. Dropping the DCD function terminates the session. DTR--Data Terminal Ready. The DTE indicates to the DCE that it accepts calls. |
Firmware | Installed modem firmware. |
Modem config | Current modem configuration, which includes the fields Incoming, Outgoing, Incoming and Outgoing, and Unknown. |
Protocol | Protocol the modem is running such as Normal, Direct, reliable/MNP4, and reliable/LAPM (Link Access Procedure for Modems). |
Compression | Compression algorithm running on the modem, such as None, V42bis, and MNP5. |
Management config | Indicates if the modem is configured for out-of-band port polling. |
TX signals | Transmit signal levels. For modulations that do not support signal to noise calculations, the ratio is 0. |
RX signals | Transmit signal levels. |
Last clearing of "show modem" counters | Last time the modem's counters were cleared using the clear modem counters command. A summary of modem events also appears.
|
Connection Speeds | A complete summary of possible connection speeds and the actual number of connections that occurred at those speeds. Depending on which modem port module and version of software you are running, possible connection speeds range from 75 to 56,000 bps. The number of successful connections are displayed directly beneath the connection speed identifier. For example, the following output shows that three connections were made at 56 kbps.
