These release notes describe the following topics:
Introduction
The Cisco AS5300 universal access server is a versatile data communications platform that performs two functions in a single modular chassis depending on the installed feature cards and IOS images:
•
Remote Access Server
•
The access server is intended for Internet service providers (ISPs), telecommunications carriers, and other service providers that offer managed Internet connections, as well as 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.
For information on new features and Cisco IOS commands supported by Release 12.0(4)XJ, see the "New and Changed Information" section and the "Related Documentation" section.
Early Deployment Releases
These release notes describe only features unique to Release 12.0(4)XJ for Cisco AS5300 series universal access servers and do not describe features that are available in Release 12.0 or other Release 12.0 Early Deployment (ED) releases. Release 12.0(4)XJ is an Early Deployment (ED) release based on Release 12.0 and announces fixes to software caveats and support for new Cisco hardware or software.
For information about features in Release 12.0, see Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
For information about features in other ED releases, see .
For information about features in other platforms, see Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.

Determining the Version of Your Software Release
To determine the version of Cisco IOS software currently running on your Cisco AS5300 universal access server, log in to the Cisco AS5300 and enter the show version EXEC command:
router> show versionCisco Internetwork Operating System SoftwareIOS (tm) 5300 Software (c5300-js-n), Version 12.0(4)XJ, RELEASE SOFTWAREUpgrading to a New Software Release
For information on upgrading to a new software release, see the product bulletin Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0 T Upgrade Paths and Packaging Simplification (#819: 1/99) on CCO at:
Service & Support: Product Bulletins: Software
Under Cisco IOS 12.0, click Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0 T Upgrade (#819: 1/99).
Modem Code Software
Cisco IOS Release 11.2(2) and later releases, including Release 12.0(4)T, include bundled modem code for the Cisco AS5300, 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 Cisco AS5300 access server starts, the Cisco IOS software unpacks the modem code and loads the proper code onto the modem cards.
The show modem mapping command lists all versions of modem code running on the modem modules, residing in system Flash, and bundled with Cisco IOS software. Enter the show modem mapping command to determine if you need to update your modem code files.
Note
The modem code release notes are on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM. You can reach the release notes on CCO at:

Feature Set Tables
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.
Release 12.0(4)XJ supports the same feature sets as Release 12.0(4)T, but Release 12.0(4)XJ can include new features supported by the Cisco AS5300 series universal access servers.
CautionCisco 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.
