Chapter 6 Voice Feature Card

Online Insertion and Removal of the Voice Feature Card

Note If you plan to use voice feature cards, at least one voice feature card must be present when the universal gateway is powered on. More voice feature cards can be installed later.

Online Insertion and Removal of the Voice Feature Card

To remove a feature card without dropping any calls or connections, you will need to take the feature card out of service by using the busyout command to disable the feature card. The busyout command is executed on a per–feature card basis and will disable the card after waiting for the active services to terminate.

If there are active calls on the feature card after you execute the busyout command, wait for the calls to drop. To view the status of the termination process, use the show busyout command.

Caution The online installation and removal (OIR) of new cards should be done only during times of low CPU utilization, such as during maintenance.

Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, remove or insert only one feature card at a time.

When you replace a feature card with a new feature card of the same type in the same slot, the system software recognizes the new feature card and brings up the interface automatically.

If you replace the existing feature card with a new feature card of a different type, you must reconfigure the system. For configuration details, see the Cisco AS5350XM and Cisco AS5400XM Universal Gateways Software Configuration Guide. For information on voice and fax commands, see the Cisco IOS Voice Configuration Library for your Cisco IOS software release at Cisco.com.

Note To use the voice feature card, at least one voice feature card must be present when the universal gateway is powered on. More voice feature cards can be inserted later. See the “Restrictions for the Voice Feature Card” section on page 6-2for more information.
