Introduction

The Cisco AS5800 access server and Cisco 5800 voice gateway are high-density, Voice, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), and modem Wide Area Network (WAN) aggregation systems that provide voice and digital and analog call termination. They are intended to be used as a service provider dial point-of-presence (POP) or centralized enterprise dial gateway. The Cisco AS5800 consists of a dial shelf and one or two router shelves:

•The Cisco DS5814 (dial shelf) has 14 slots and can support 1 or 2 dial shelf controller cards and up to 12 feature cards to provide full analog modem, voice/fax, and ISDN coverage. The dial shelf supports up to 2047 simultaneous data calls or up to 1344 voice calls. Analog calls are terminated by a feature card that is loaded with integrated modems. Voice calls are terminated by feature cards that are loaded with voice DSPs.

Note The Cisco DS5814 supports both high-complexity and medium-complexity voice cards. You cannot mix high-complexity and medium-complexity voice cards on the same dial shelf unless the dial shelf is in split mode. If the dial shelf is in split mode, each split shelf must have voice cards of the same complexity type.

ISDN calls are terminated onboard the trunk card on High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) controllers. The E1 trunk, T1 trunk, and the CT3 trunk cards include channel service units (CSUs) and have either 12 E1 ports, 12 T1 ports, or 28 T1 ports (within the CT3 trunk) that can operate as Primary Rate Interfaces (PRIs), inter-machine trunks (IMTs), or channelized interfaces in any combination. The specific trunk card limitations are described in Table 2, Part 1.

Note T1 and E1 cards are not supported in the same box.

•The Cisco RS7206VXR (router shelf) contains a network processing engine, an I/O controller, and the egress interfaces, such as High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), Fast Ethernet (FE), Gigabit Ethernet (GE), and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and supports either 280W AC-input or 280W DC-input redundant power. The router shelf also may contain one or two dial shelf interconnect port adapters each with a single RJ-45 receptacle, which is used to connect the router shelf to the Cisco 5814 dial shelf. The interconnect port adapter connects directly to the dial shelf controller card on the dial shelf via a Cisco-proprietary cable, customized with jack screws to secure the connection. You must use this specially designed cable that ships with your interconnect port adapter. Each router shelf can only be connected to one dial shelf controller card.If the dial shelf configured in split mode, it must be connected to two separate router shelves.

Note The router shelf is only supported for routing data to and from the dial shelf. The router should not be used with multiple port adapter interfaces to route LAN traffic between multiple networks.

The AC-input power shelf is an optional component of the Cisco AS5800 and is used to convert AC-input power into DC-output power for the DC-powered Cisco 5814 dial shelf. The AC-input power shelf contains two AC-input power supplies.

The AC-input to DC-output connection supplies -48V DC-output power to the dial shelf power entry modules (PEMs). The PEMs receive the -48V and transmit power to the filter module. Power flows through the filter module to the backplane, where it is distributed to the dial shelf controller card(s) and feature cards.

The AC-input power shelf includes two 2,000 W, AC-input power supplies that plug into a common power backplane in the AC-input power shelf. A single AC-input power supply is capable of powering a fully configured Cisco 5814 dial shelf. The second power supply provides full redundancy.

Cisco AS5800 Voice Feature Cards

The Cisco AS5800 Voice Feature Cards are full-featured voice processing cards. Voice processing capabilities include Voice Activity Detection (VAD), comfort noise generation, adaptive jitter buffering, programmable 16 and 32 ms echo cancellation, programmable frame size, and Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) detection and generation. The Cisco AS5800 Voice Feature cards offer industry-leading DSP density and a wide range of VoIP codecs.

Medium-complexity Voice Feature Cards support 336 or 192 sessions per card. The medium-complexity VFCs support only codecs that require 20-MIPS or less per session including G.711, G.729a, and G.726. Their part numbers are DS58-336-MC-VOX and DS58-192-MC-VOX, respectively.

High-complexity Voice Feature Cards support 192 or 92 sessions per card, the high-complexity VFCs support all types of codecs including G.711, G.729a, G.726, G.723.1, G.728 and G.729. Their part numbers are DS58-192VOX and DS58-96VOX, respectively.

RS7206 (NPE-200 based) Router Shelf

With any Cisco AS5800 software image, the maximum hardware configuration with an RS7206 is one CT3 or two T1/E1 trunk cards and three UPCs, five DMMs or 10 HMMs for a maximum of 28 24 T1 / 24 E1 controllers and 720 modems.

If a larger configuration is desired, a second RS7206 router shelf can be configured in split-shelf mode, or a single RS7206 VXR may be used to support up to 1344 modem sessions. Configurations above 1344 modem sessions require two RS7206VXR router shelves in split-shelf mode.

The Cisco AS5800/Voice Gateway can support 672 voice calls per RS7206VXR router shelf. 1344 voice calls require two RS7206VXR router shelves configured in split-shelf mode. RS7206 router shelves do not support voice services.

1 72-port modem card requires 32M DRAM.

2 144-port modem card requires 64M DRAM.

3 High-complexity voice cards (with codecs G.723.1, G.728, or G.729) require greater resources to perform complex coding and decoding that results in Voice-handling capacity reduction. Medium-complexity voice cards (with codecs G.711, G.726, or G.729a) can manage twice the number of Voice channels than high-complexity voice cards can.

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software 

IOS (tm) 12.1 Software (c5800-p4-mz), Version 12.1(5) XM8, RELEASE SOFTWARE

Upgrading to a New Software Release

For general information about upgrading to a new software release, refer to Upgrading the Cisco IOS Software Release in Cisco Routers and Modems located at:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/130/upgrade_index.shtml

Microcode and Modem Code Software

Microcode software images are bundled with the system software image. Bundling eliminates the need to store separate microcode images. When the router starts, the system software unpacks the microcode software bundle and loads the proper software on all the interface processor boards.

You could have received a later version of modem code than the one bundled with the Cisco IOS software. The modem code in Flash memory is mapped to the modems. Unless you fully understand how Cisco IOS software uses modem code, it is important to keep the factory configuration.

To obtain the latest Cisco IOS software release compatible with Cisco MICA portware, refer to the Cisco AS5x00 MICA 6-Port and 12-Port Modem Module Portware/Cisco IOS Software Compatibility Matrixes at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_serv/5300/sw_conf/sw_ports/compmat/mca12prt.htm.

The modem code release notes are on Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM.

Other Firmware Code

Default bundled firmware for Nextport upgraded from version 2.3.3.108 to version 2.3.5.108.

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.

Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM8 supports the same feature sets as Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) T, but Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM8 can include new features supported by the Cisco AS5800.

Note Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) T are listed in the Release Notes for Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Servers for Cisco IOS Release 12.1 T. If you have a Cisco.com login account, you can find image and release information regarding features prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) T by using the Feature Navigator tool at http://www.cisco.com/go/fn.

Caution Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to, 168-bit Triple Data Encryption Standard [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 because of United States government regulations. When applicable, purchaser and 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.

Table 3 lists the features and feature sets supported by the Cisco AS5800 in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM8 and uses the following conventions:

•Yes—The feature is supported in the software image.

•No—The feature is not supported in the software image.

New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)XM2

The following new software features are supported by the Cisco AS5800 for Cisco IOS Release 12.(5)XM2.

Call Denial for Voice Coded CPU Utilization Management

The Call Denial for Voice Coded CPU Utilization Management feature permits the Cisco access servers to deny incoming calls exceeding a preconfigured threshold, permitting the selection of a system CPU load level value. This feature helps ensure the quality of service of existing calls and reliability of system processes by preventing system overload caused by excessive incoming calls. It is designed to reject new digital calls (PRI, CAS, and ISDN), with as little disruption to system users as possible.

Cisco H.323 Multizone Enhancements

This feature enables the Cisco gateway to provide information to the gatekeeper with the use of additional fields in the RAS (registration, admission, and status) messages.

For further details, please see: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_serv/as5400/sw_conf/ios_121/pull0244.htm.

Feature Group D Support

This feature extends support for Feature Group D signaling on Cisco platforms. Feature Group D service is a trunk side connection that enables telephone customers to choose their long distance network and use the same number of digits no matter which carrier they use. Routers interface with interexchange carriers using Feature Group D to support voice traffic in the carrier environment.

For further details, please see http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_serv/as5400/sw_conf/ios_121/pulhdvfg.htm.

H.235 Accounting and Security Enhancements

The Cisco H.323 gateway now supports the use of CryptoH323Tokens for authentication. The CryptoH323Token is defined in H.225 Version 2 and is used in a "password-with-hashing" security scheme as described in section 10.3.3 of the H.235 specification.

For further details, please see http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_serv/as5800/sw_conf/ios_122/pul0242x.htm.

H.323 Call Redirection Enhancements

The user-to-user information element (UUIE) of the Facility message is used primarily for call redirection. The UUIE contains a field, facilityReason, that indicates the nature of the redirection. The H.450.2 Call Redirection Enhancements feature adds support for two of the reasons: routeCallToGatekeeper and callForwarded. It also provides a non-standard method for using the Facility message to effect call transfer.

Route Call to Gatekeeper

There are two situations in which the Cisco H.323 Gateway might receive or generate a facility message with a routeCallToGatekeeper reason.

•The gateway receives a facility message with routeCallToGatekeeper as a response to its H.225 SETUP message. Upon receiving the Facility message, the Cisco H.323 Gateway attempts to route the call to the new gatekeeper, using the new IP address specified in the alternativeAddress field of the facility message.

–If the IP address is not available, the gateway ignores the facility message and sends a release complete toward the original destination end-point. The release complete message contains a ReleaseCompleteReason of facilityCallDeflection.

–If the IP address is available, the gateway sends a disengage request (DRQ) message to the gatekeeper and waits for the disengage confirmation (DCF) message before it sends the SETUP message to the new destination gatekeeper.

•During the admission request (ARQ) phase of a call, a gatekeeper might determine that a call, which has come through an intermediate gateway, needs to be routed to another gatekeeper. The gatekeeper sends an admission rejection (ARJ) message with a RejectReason of routeCallToGatekeeper to the gateway.

Upon receiving the message, the intermediate Cisco H.323 Gateway sends a Facility message to the originator of the SETUP message. This message indicates that the SETUP message should be sent to another address. (The gateway includes the callSignalAddress from ARJ in the alternativeAddresss field of the Facility message.)

Upon receiving the Facility message, the calling gateway terminates the initial call and sends a new SETUP message to the specified gatekeeper, using the new IP address specified in the alternativeAddress field of the facility message. If the callSignalAddress is not provided, the gateway will not send the Facility message and the call is terminated without any rerouting.

Call Forward

In certain cases, an H.323 endpoint might determine that a call needs to be forwarded. The endpoint then sends a Facility message to the gateway with a facilityReason of callForwarded. This message includes the address of the new destination (either an alternativeAddress or alternativeAliasAddress).

Upon receiving the Facility message, the Cisco H.323 Gateway sends a release complete to the original destination endpoint and initiates a new call using the new destination address supplied in the Facility message. The release complete message contains a ReleaseCompleteReason of facilityCallDeflection. If the gateway is registered with a gatekeeper, the gateway sends a DRQ to the gatekeeper and waits for the DCF before sending a setup message to the destinationgatekeeper.

The Facility message must contain an E.164 address in the alternativeAliasAddress field. If no address is included, the Facility message is ignored. The E164 is required because the call forwarding process initiates a new call, which may be subject to authentication processes that can handle only E.164 addresses.

If the Facility message contains both and IP address (in the alternativeAddress field) and an E.164 address (in the alternativeAliasAddress field), the gateway first attempts to find a match for the new E.164 and the dial-peer. If there is no match, the gateway uses the same incoming peer to determine if there is a matching peer to reroute the call. If there is no match to the incoming peer, the message is ignored.

Call Transfer

If a Facility message with a facilityReason of callForwarded is received after the call has been accepted, it is considered a call transfer. In this case, the Cisco H.323 Gateway will place the call on hold and initiate a new call using the address (alternativeAddress or alternativeAliasAddress) supplied in the Facility message.

As with call forwarding, the Facility message must contain an E.164 address in the alternativeAliasAddress field. If no address is included, the Facility message is ignored. The E164 is required because the call forwarding process initiates a new call, which may be subject to authentication processes that can handle only E.164 addresses.

If the Facility message contains both and IP address (in the alternativeAddress field) and an E.164 address (in the alternativeAliasAddress field), the gateway first attempts to find a match for the new E.164 and the dial-peer. If there is no match, the gateway uses the same incoming peer to determine if there is a matching peer to reroute the call. If there is no match to the incoming peer, the message is ignored.

Unlike in call forwarding case, the Facility message is accepted by both the called side and the originating side.

Note This use of call forwarding is not defined by the ITU standard.

H.323v2 Fast Connect

The Fast Connect feature allows endpoints to establish media channels without waiting for a separate H.245 connection to be opened. This streamlines the number of messages that are exchanged and the amount of processing that must be done before endpoint connections can be established. A high-level view of the Fast Connect procedures within the H.323 protocol follows:

•The calling endpoint transmits a SETUP message containing the fastStart element that contains a sequence of encoded logical channel structures, each representing a different capability media type for both "send" and "receive" directions.

•The called endpoint selects one or more of the media types offered by the calling endpoint for the send and receive directions and returns its selections as logically encoded Q.931 messages up to and including CONNECT. At this point, the called endpoint must be prepared to receive media along any of the channels it selected.

•If H.245 procedures are needed and one or both of the endpoints do not support tunneling, then a separate H.245 connection is used.

This feature is not explicitly configurable. It is assumed that the gateway is capable of sending and receiving Fast Connect procedures unless its corresponding dial peer has been configured for RSVP (in other words, the req-qos is set to a value other than the default of best-effort). If the dial peer has been configured for RSVP, then traditional "slow" connect procedures will be followed, and the endpoint will neither attempt to initiate Fast Connect nor respond to a Fast Connect request from its peer.

A terminating endpoint can reject Fast Connect by simply omitting the fastStart element from all Q.931 messages up to and including CONNECT. In this case, normal H.245 procedures are followed and a separate H.245 TCP connection is established. So, if an endpoint does not support the Fast Connect procedures, normal H.245 procedures are followed. In addition, certain conditions can cause a Fast Connect call to fall back to normal H.245 procedures to complete the call.

Once a media connection has been opened (an audio path has been established), either endpoint has the option of switching to H.245 procedures (if they are needed) by using H.245 tunneling, whereby H.245 messages are encapsulated within the h245Control element of Q.931 messages.

The dtmf-relay command is the only H.245-cognizant command that can initiate H.245 tunneling procedures from a Fast Connect call. If H.245 tunneling is active on the call, switching to a separate TCP H.245 connection is not supported.

A Cisco terminating endpoint accepts a Fast Connect request only if a pair of symmetric codecs (codecs that in both directions are the equivalent or identical) can be selected from a list that has been offered. The originating endpoint is constrained only by what it can send through the codec (or voice class codec list) associated with the dial peer.

If the Cisco originating endpoint has offered multiple codecs and the terminating endpoint selects a pair of asymmetric (mismatched) codecs, then the originating endpoint initiates separate H.245 procedures to correct the asymmetric codec situation.

Fast Connect is backward compatible with H.323 Version 1 configurations.

NFAS with D Channel Backup

The DMS100, NI2, and 4ESS switch types have been added to the existing Non-Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS) with D Channel Backup feature.

ISDN NFAS allows a single D channel to control multiple PRI interfaces. A backup D channel can be configured for use when the primary NFAS D channel fails.

Once the channelized T1 controllers are configured for ISDN PRI, only the NFAS primary D channel must be configured; its configuration is distributed to all the members of the associated NFAS group.

Prepaid Distributed Calling Card via Packet Telephony

The Debit Card for Packet Telephony on Cisco Access Platforms is an application supported by the Cisco Interactive Voice Response (IVR) feature. The IVR voice scripts have been modified to use Tool Command Language (TCL) scripts.

The feature components consist of IVR functionality in Cisco IOS software that work in conjunction with an integrated third-party billing system. The Debit Card feature includes the ability to maintain per-user credit balance information through the use of a billing system. When these features are implemented, the billing system and IOS software functions enable a carrier to authorize voice calls and debit individual user accounts in real time at the edges of a voice-over-IP network, without requiring external service nodes. This feature uses vendor specific attributes (VSAs) to communicate with the billing system.

For further details, please see http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_serv/as5400/sw_conf/ios_121/pull0134.htm.

SIP Diversion Header Implementation for Redirecting Number (CSCdr72341)

The SIP Diversion Header Implementation for Redirecting Number feature provides support for a new SIP header field; Call Control (CC)-Diversion. The CC-Diversion header field enables the SIP gateway to pass call control redirecting information during the call setup. Call control redirection is the redirection of a call based on a subscriber service such as call forwarding. Call redirection information is information is typically used for Unified Messaging and voice mail services to identify the recipient of a message. Call control rediversion information can also be used to support applications such as automatic call distribution and enhanced telephony features such as Do Not Disturb and Caller ID.

T.38 Fax for Cisco Universal Gateways

When the Cisco universal gateway is equipped with DFCs, it supports carrier-class Voice over IP (VoIP) and fax over IP services. Since the Cisco universal gateway is H.323 compliant, it supports a family of industry-standard voice codecs and provides echo cancellation and Voice Activity Detection (VAD)/silence suppression.

A universal port dial feature card (DFC) is a hardware card that processes digital service port technology for the Cisco AS5400. Ports on the universal port DFC support multiple types of services such as modem, fax, digital data, and voice. The universal port DFC provides multiple port sessions, with each session capable of originating or terminating a session over a DS-0 in PCM format. The number of sessions depends on the port density of the card. You can manage your port connections at the universal port slot level, service processing element (SPE) level, or port level using monitoring and troubleshooting commands. A port is defined as an endpoint on a DFC card through which multiservice tones, voice, and data flow. There are six ports per SPE.

The T.38 Fax Relay for Universal Gateways feature provides standards-based Fax Relay protocol support on AS5800 universal access servers. As The T.38 Fax Relay protocol is standards based, Cisco gateways and gatekeepers will now be able to interoperate with third-party T.38-enabled gateways and gatekeepers in a mixed vendor network where real time Fax Relay capabilities are required.

When a fax is sent from the originating gateway, an initial voice call is established. The terminating gateway, detects the fax tone generated by the answering fax machine. The VoIP H.323 call stack then starts a T.38 mode request using H.245 procedures. If the opposite end of the call acknowledges the T.38 mode request, the initial audio channel is closed and a T.38 Fax Relay channel is opened. When the fax transmission is completed, the call is reverted back to voice mode.

T1 CAS for Voice over IP

This feature adds support for T1 Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) and limited support for E1 R2 signaling to the Cisco AS5800 with the Voice Feature Card (VFC).

CAS is the transmission of signaling information within the voice channel. Various types of CAS signaling are available in the T1 world. The most common forms of CAS signaling are loop-start, ground-start, and recEive and transMit (E&M). The biggest disadvantage of CAS signaling is its use of user bandwidth to perform signaling functions. CAS signaling is often referred to as robbed-bit-signaling because user bandwidth is being "robbed" by the network for other purposes. In addition to receiving and placing calls, CAS signaling also processes the receipt of DNIS and ANI information, which is used to support authentication and other functions.

T1 CAS capabilities have been implemented on the Cisco AS5800 VFC to enhance and integrate T1 CAS capabilities on common central office (CO) and PBX configurations for voice calls. The service provider application for T1 CAS includes connectivity to the public network using T1 CAS from the Cisco AS5800 to the end office switch. In this configuration, the Cisco AS5800 captures the dialed-number or called-party number information and passes it along to the upper-level applications for interactive voice response (IVR) script selection, modem pooling, and other applications. Service providers also require access to calling party number, ANI, for user identification, for billing account number, and in the future, more complicated call routing.

Service providers who implement VoIP include traditional voice carriers, new voice and data carriers, and existing Internet service providers. Some of these service providers might use subscriber side lines for their VoIP connectivity to the PSTN; others will use tandem-type service provider connections.

Open Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM2

This section documents possible unexpected behavior by Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)XM2 and describes only severity 1 and 2 caveats and select severity 3 and 4 caveats.

•CSCds81187

When the PPP Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)-password validation fails—that is, when the PPP PAP password is configured incorrectly—a slow memory leak occurs. There is no workaround.

•CSCdt16007

Egress SS7 modem calls with Continuity Testing (COT) enabled fail to connect.

Workaround: Disable COT on the Cisco SC2200.

•CSCdt25245

On a Cisco 5800 with a PRI-to-PRI configuration or an SS7-to-PRI configuration with the session initiation protocol (SIP) Hairpinning feature and interactive voice response (IVR) enabled, there is no speech path and no ringback for the calls. For calls with IVR and Direct Inward Dialing (DID) disabled, there is a speech path and ringback.

Workaround: Use the global configuration command voice call send-alert. This configures the alerting message to trigger ringback instead of the progress message.

•CSCdt30184

The CLI command isdn negotiate-bchan resend-setup does not show up when using the CLI help feature. This command allows Cisco IOS software to try a different B channel when a call setup on an initial B channel fails—for example, due to a Continuity Testing (COT) test failure. Turning on this option is recommended when using the isdn switch-type primary ni command in order to increase the call success rate.

Workaround: Configure the isdn negotiate-bchan resend-setup command, even though it is not yet documented as a command.

•CSCdt64373

When the information-type fax command is configured under a VoIP dial-peer, a fax-relay call cannot be setup.

Workaround: Do not use the information-type fax command.

Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM2

All the caveats listed in this section are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM2. This section describes only severity 1 and 2 caveats and select severity 3 caveats.

•CSCds04747

Cisco IOS software contains a flaw that permits the successful prediction of TCP Initial Sequence Numbers.

This vulnerability is present in all released versions of Cisco IOS software running on Cisco routers and switches. It only affects the security of TCP connections that originate or terminate on the affected Cisco device itself; it does not apply to TCP traffic forwarded through the affected device in transit between two other hosts.

To remove the vulnerability, Cisco is offering free software upgrades for all affected platforms. The defect is described in DDTS record CSCds04747.

Workarounds are available that limit or deny successful exploitation of the vulnerability by filtering traffic containing forged IP source addresses at the perimeter of a network or directly on individual devices.

This notice will be posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ios-tcp-isn-random-pub.shtml.

This caveat is resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM2.

•CSCdt11676

In an SS7 configuration, when modems are shut down on the calling router by issuing the command spe 1/4 shut, the following message shows on the console: 

Spurious memory access made

There is no workaround.

This caveat is closed in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM2.

Open and Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM1

There are no open and resolved caveats specific to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM1 that require documentation in the release notes.

Open and Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM

There are no open and resolved caveats specific to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5) XM that require documentation in the release notes.
