SPE Firmware

SPE firmware is automatically downloaded to a universal port DFC from the Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400 when you boot the system for the first time or when you insert a universal port DFC while the system is operating. When you insert DFCs while the system is operating, the Cisco IOS image recognizes the cards and downloads the required firmware to the cards.

The SPE firmware image is bundled with the universal gateway Cisco IOS image. The SPE firmware image uses an auto detect mechanism, which enables the universal port DFC to service multiple call types. An SPE detects the call type and automatically configures itself for that operation. The firmware is upgradable independent of Cisco IOS upgrades, and different firmware versions can be configured to run on SPEs in the same DFC.

The universal port DFC supports the modem standards and features listed in the following table.
