This section discusses document objectives, targeted audience, document organization, document conventions, terms and acronyms, and additional documentation available.

Document Objectives

This document describes the initial site preparation, hardware installation, and troubleshooting of the Cisco AS5800 universal access server (Cisco AS5800), which consists of the Cisco 5814 dial shelf and the Cisco 7206 router shelf. Also included is information describing the hardware components, including dial shelf cards, dial shelf controller cards, blower assembly, maintenance monitors, power supplies, and cables.

Audience

This publication is designed for the system technician who is responsible for installing the Cisco AS5800. The system technician should be familiar with electronic circuitry and wiring practices and have experience as an electronic or electromechanical technician. It is assumed that the system technician has experience with the installation of high-end networking equipment.

This publication does not include software configuration instructions for the Cisco AS5800. For software configuration, refer to the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Software Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your access server. The Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Software Installation and Configuration Guide will be replaced by the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Operation, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning Guide, available later this year.

This publication does not address the specific dial shelf cards for the Cisco AS5800. For specific information about the dial shelf cards, refer to the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Dial Shelf Card Guide that shipped with your access server.

For a complete description of Cisco IOS software, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guides and command references and to the documents listed in the section "Related Documentation" in this chapter.

Terms and Acronyms

The following acronyms, initialisms, and terms identify the Cisco AS5800 system components and features:

Dial shelf controller (DSC) card—A printed circuit board that connects to the dial shelf backplane and serves as the interface between the dial shelf and the router shelf. The dial shelf controller card also supports environmental monitoring and board initialization at power-up.

CPU core—Common CPU circuitry shared by all cards within the dial shelf.

Dial shelf—A chassis containing modem cards, trunk cards, and dial shelf controller cards. The dial shelf provides digital and analog call termination functionality.

Dial shelf card—A trunk card, modem card, or VoIP card.

Dial shelf interconnect—A 100-Mbps full-duplex, nonblocking connection between the router shelf and the dial shelf, which is used to pass packets between the dial shelf and the router shelf. This connection includes a dial shelf interconnect port adapter and a Cisco proprietary interconnect cable, which is used to connect the interconnect port adapter in the router shelf to the dial shelf controller card.

Double-density modem module (DMM)—Each double-density modem card contains 12 DMM SIMMS. Each DMM SIMM contains 12 digital modems.The Cisco AS5800 has the capability of terminating up to 1,344 modem connections when equipped with 10 double-density modem cards and 2 CT3 trunk cards.

Egress interface—The router shelf interface to a network, such as the Internet or a corporate intranet or backbone. Supported interfaces include Fast Ethernet, HSSI, FDDI, and ATM interfaces.

Front and rear—The front of the dial shelf is defined as the card-insertion side and provides access to the line cards and the blower assembly. The rear or back of the dial shelf is defined as the power-entry side and provides access to the filter module and two power-entry modules.

I/O controller card—The router shelf card containing the system I/O controller.

Ingress interface—Dial shelf cards that connect to the telco network and contain the necessary functionality to terminate a telco connection. The ingress interface terminates digital calls at the dial shelf. The Cisco AS5800 currently supports CE1, CT1 and CT3 ingress interfaces.

Maintenance bus (MBus)—Used in the dial shelf to monitor -48 VDC from both DC power supplies using analog isolation circuits.

Modem card—A printed circuit board that connects to the dial shelf backplane and contains hex modem module SIMMs. Its primary purpose is conversion between pulse code modulation (PCM)-encoded analog bitstreams on the backplane TDM bus and packetized digital data on the backplane interconnect. The modem card terminates incoming analog calls at the dial shelf.

Network processor card—The router shelf card containing the network processing engine (NPE).

Online insertion and removal (OIR)—A feature that allows you to insert and remove modules and cards without interruption to service while the system is powered on.

Pulse code modulation (PCM)—A specific way of representing an analog waveform in digital format.

Power-entry module (PEM)—A -48 VDC power supply module.

Router shelf—The host route processing functionality for the dial shelf. The router shelf carries data between the dial shelf and an external network, such as the Internet. Full Cisco IOS software functionality is provided on the router shelf.

Time-division multiplexing bus (TDM bus)—A dial shelf proprietary serial telecommunications backplane that enables multiple channels of data to be transmitted over the same medium. The TDM bus connects a DS0 channel (from the ingress interface) to an individual modem on the modem card.

Trunk card—A printed circuit board that connects to the dial shelf backplane and contains trunk circuitry, such as CT1 or CE1 interfaces. The trunk card acts as the ingress interface through which all calls are received, and terminates incoming digital calls at the dial shelf.
