Cisco AS5400 Series Universal Gateways

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

• The trunk card options that are available for this platform are 2CT1, 2CE1, 4CT1, 4CE1, 8CT1, 8CE1, and CT3.

• The Universal Port DSP feature card options that are available for this platform are NP108 (108 universal ports) and NP60 (60 universal ports).

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Will the customer use AC or DC power supply?

• What is the ingress trunk type?

• What cable/connector type is required to connect the trunks?

– Specific cable types like DB15, RJ45, BNC, etc. may be required to connect the E1/T1 trunks to the Cisco AS5400HPX Universal Gateway. The RJ45 is sometimes referred to as RJ48C.

• What trunk signaling is used?

– The Cisco AS5400HPX Universal Gateway supports a variety of trunk signaling protocols including T1 or E1 Primary Rate Interface (PRI), Channel Associated Signaling (CAS), and E1/R2. If using E1/R2 signaling, check with your Cisco Systems® representative that the platform supports the country specific variant. A list of country variants supported is at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/univgate/ps501/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008007df5b.html - wp1081171.

– Signaling System 7 (SS7) signaling is also supported with the use of an external call agent such as the BTS10200 or the PGW2200.

• If T1 or E1 cables will be used for ingress, does the customer need the optional 8-PRI-breakout cable rack mount bracket to organize cabling?

• Which of the following kinds of calls will be terminated on the platform-Modem calls, ISDN digital calls, wireless (V.110, V.120) calls, voice calls, Voice Extensible Markup Language (VXML), etc., or a combination of the above?

• How many simultaneous sessions need to be supported?

– The maximum number of sessions that can be supported on one chassis varies depending upon the application. The Cisco AS5400HPX Universal Gateway is designed to handle a maximum of 648 dial sessions and 480 voice sessions. Consult your Cisco representative to determine the performance and capabilities of the platform for your specific applications.

• Is the platform used along with PGW2200 or any other vendor's Signaling System 7 (SS7) controller?

– To access the Integrated Signaling Link Terminal (SLT) feature, order the license FR54H-SLT-LIC (AS5400HPX Cisco IOS Software Integrated SLT License priced per platform).

• What Cisco IOS Software features are required?

– Basic Cisco IOS Software features are present in the IP PLUS feature set

– Applications requiring Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) encryption, such as SSHv2 need the IP PLUS 3DES feature set

– Lawful Intercept is supported in IP PLUS 3DES LAWFUL INTERCEPT feature set

– X.25, Appletalk, and other non-IP protocols are supported on the ENTERPRISE PLUS feature set

– Enterprise applications requiring 3DES encryption will need the ENTERPRISE PLUS 3DES feature set

Feature Licenses

Table 1. AS5400HPX Basic Feature Licenses

• FR54H-DATA-LIC

– The Data Only license covers all Cisco IOS Software features required for remote access and dial services. This license includes support for access VPN, ISDN remote access, and TDM switching. This license does not cover the Cisco IOS Software features required for voice services.

• FR54H-ENHVOX-LIC

– The Voice Only license covers all Cisco IOS Software features required for all voice and fax relay services (voice codec, T.38 Fax Relay, H.323 and Session Initiation Protocol [SIP], Media Gateway Control Protocol [MGCP], VXML, etc). This license does not cover the Cisco IOS Software features required for basic remote access and dial services.

Optional Feature Licenses

• FR54H-SLT-LIC

– FR54H-SLT-LIC is the feature license for the integrated SLT function on the Cisco AS5400HPX Universal Gateway. This feature pulls existing Cisco distributed Message Transfer Part (MTP) SS7 signaling architecture functions-previously available only on Cisco 26xx-based SLTs-directly onto a single Cisco AS5400HPX Universal Gateway. Like the Cisco 26xx-based SLT, the Integrated SLT on a Cisco AS5400HPX Universal Gateway backhauls upper-layer SS7 protocols across an IP network using Cisco Reliable User Datagram Protocol (RUDP), terminating the MTP1 and MTP2 layers of the SS7 protocol stack at the Media Gateway Controller (MGC).
