Dial Shelf Interconnect Port Adapter

Chassis

To replace the chassis you must remove all internal components. When replacing the chassis, refer to the individual configuration notes that explain how to remove and replace each internal component.

Flash memory cards

Detailed instructions for removing and replacing Flash memory cards and SIMMs are contained in the configuration note Memory Replacement Instructions for the Network Processing Engine and Input/Output Controller (Part Number 78-3226-xx).

Instructions for installing and removing a Flash memory card are also contained in the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide (Document Number DOC-7206-ICG=).

Rack-mount kit and cable-management brackets

Detailed instructions for installing the rack-mount and cable-management brackets on your Cisco 7206,are contained in the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide (Document Number DOC-7206-ICG=).

Dial Shelf Interconnect Port Adapter

The Cisco AS5800 includes a dial shelf interconnect port adapter that connects the Cisco 5814 dial shelf to the Cisco 7206 router shelf. The interconnect port adapter installs in any 7206 router shelf port adapter slot and connects directly to the dial shelf controller card on the dial shelf using a single full-duplex cable.

The interconnect port adapter allows data transfers between the dial shelf and the router shelf. Data is converted into packets by the dial shelf cards, transmitted to a hub on the dial shelf controller card, and sent to the router shelf from there. Conversely, packets from the router shelf are sent to the dial shelf controller card, where they are transmitted over the backplane to the modem and trunk cards.

LED Indicators

The dial shelf interconnect port adapter contains two LEDs: an enabled LED and a link status LED, shown in Figure 1-22.After system initialization, the enabled LED lights to indicate that the dial shelf interconnect port adapter has been enabled for operation.

AS5800 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking and telecommunications field, and its AS5800 series of routers exemplify this tradition. The AS5800, along with the AS5850, AS5350, AS5400, and AS5300, provides robust solutions for service providers and enterprise-level networking applications. Each of these models has distinct features and characteristics that cater to the evolving demands of internet traffic and data processing.

The Cisco AS5800 is designed for high-capacity routing and optimized for broadband services. It supports a wide range of services, including voice, data, and video applications, making it a versatile option for service providers looking to deliver integrated solutions. It is equipped with advanced quality of service (QoS) features that ensure bandwidth is allocated effectively, holding strong even under heavy traffic conditions.

In comparison, the AS5850 offers superior processing capabilities and is typically utilized in larger-scale implementations. This model supports high-density interfaces, allowing numerous connections without compromising performance. Its architecture includes enhanced MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support, enabling more efficient traffic management and better utilization of network resources.

The AS5350 is known for its scalability and energy efficiency, ideal for voice-over-IP (VoIP) and media gateway applications. It supports various telephony features, such as protocol interworking and transcoding, making it a preferred choice for organizations focusing on digital voice technologies. The AS5300, while slightly older, continues to be a valuable asset for less demanding networks, offering reliable performance with VoIP capabilities and basic data applications.

The AS5400 bridges the gap between high-performance routing and operational efficiency. It incorporates Cisco's proprietary technologies to ensure seamless connectivity and robust failover systems. This model is highly regarded for its security features, protecting network integrity and providing peace of mind for businesses relying on sensitive data transfer.

Overall, Cisco’s AS5800 series showcases a progressive evolution of routing capabilities with enhanced features tailored for resilience, scalability, and performance. These routers not only address the technical needs of modern networks but also strategically position organizations for future growth in an increasingly digital world. Each model, with its unique attributes, continues to support the varied demands of global communication infrastructures.
