PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Cisco® High-Density Packet Voice/Fax DSP Module (AS54-PVDM2-64) helps the Cisco AS5400XM and AS5350XM Voice Gateways provide high-density voice connectivity to Cisco Voice Infrastructure and Applications (VIA) solutions. Cisco AS5000XM Series Voice Gateways offer service providers and large enterprises intelligent, high-capacity voice gateways that can be used for several solutions, including voice services over broadband, wholesale voice transport, unified communications, call-center services, IP-enabled interactive voice response (IVR), toll bypass, hosted IP telephony, and prepaid calling card services. The high-density packet voice/fax digital-signal-processor (DSP) module is available and supported in a single version (part number AS5X-PVDM2-64), shown in Figure 1.

The Cisco AS54-PVDM2-64 connects to the Cisco AS5000XM Feature Card (part number AS5X-FC) through 80-pin single inline memory module (SIMM) slots. The module is field-insert table and removable. The Cisco AS5400XM and AS5350XM manage DSP resources on a call-by-call basis to service all codec types (low, medium, and high complexity). Six Cisco AS54-PVDM2-64 modules can be plugged into a Cisco AS5000XM Feature Card. Table 2 shows the number of calls supported per Cisco PVDM2 on the Cisco AS5000XM. Figure 2 shows how a Cisco PVDM2 is plugged into the feature card.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Investment Protection and Field-Upgradeable Capability
The Cisco AS54-PVDM2-64 is used across the series of Cisco AS5000XM Series Voice Gateways. This module shares the technology with the modules used in the Cisco Integrated Services Routers, facilitating continued evolution of capabilities and investment protection. The field upgradeable capability helps users easily scale their voice deployment and redeploy DSPs where needed. The high performance of the module supports future growth.
High Density and Flexibility
The Cisco AS5X-PVDM2-64 provides high call density per DSP and flexibility on the channel allocation. The maximized support of uncompressed G.711 voice calls optimizes the DSP usage for the solutions where G.711 codecs are appropriate, including call centers and interactive-voice-response (IVR) solutions, and the flexibility allows for high compression where required, such as toll-bypass and wireless solutions.
Industry-Leading Voice Quality
The Cisco AS54-PVDM2-64 performs compression, voice activity detection (VAD), jitter management and echo-cancellation functions to help ensure that the voice quality on Cisco Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions is toll quality. The echo cancellation offered in the module has a 64-ms tail length and is ITU-T G.168-compliant. Tables 3 through 5 describes the feature availability, supported IOS images, licenses, standards supported and ordering information regarding the module.
