Warning

The telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector and/or 2) while the housing is open. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the router first. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

This equipment is to be installed and maintained by service personnel only as defined by AS/NZS 3260

Clause 1.2.14.3 Service Personnel. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that should be inaccessible to user contact. Do not attempt to tamper with or open any public telephone operator (PTO)-provided equipment or connection hardware. Any hardwired connection (other than by a nonremovable, connect-one-time-only plug) must be made only by PTO staff or suitably trained engineers. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Warning

To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage

 

 

(TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports

 

 

both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. To see translations of the warnings that appear

 

 

in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this

Cisco AS5400, Cisco AS5350 specifications

Cisco Systems is a global leader in networking and telecommunications technology, and its AS5350 and AS5400 models are prominent offerings in their product line. These devices cater primarily to service providers and large enterprises looking for advanced VoIP, data, and multimedia capabilities.

The Cisco AS5350 is a versatile voice gateway that supports a wide range of protocols including VoIP and PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). Designed for scalability, it can handle numerous simultaneous calls, making it an ideal solution for businesses that require robust communication systems. Some of its main features include built-in support for various signaling protocols such as SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and H.323, which allow seamless integration with existing networks. Additionally, the AS5350 is equipped with high-density digital signal processors (DSPs) that enable efficient call processing and transcoding, ensuring high-quality voice transmission.

On the other hand, the Cisco AS5400 takes this functionality a step further by offering enhanced capabilities suited for more demanding environments. It supports both voice and data services, allowing service providers to deliver a comprehensive solution that includes voice calls, multimedia applications, and broadband services. The AS5400 features a modular design, allowing users to adapt the device to specific needs by adding or removing modules as required. This modularity enhances flexibility and future-proofs the system against evolving technology demands.

Both the AS5350 and AS5400 incorporate advanced security features to protect sensitive communications and data. Features such as encryption, secure signaling, and network access controls are essential for enterprises looking to safeguard their operations in an increasingly vulnerable digital landscape. These gateways also support Quality of Service (QoS) protocols, ensuring that voice traffic is prioritized over other types of data, thereby maintaining call clarity even in times of high data demand.

In conclusion, the Cisco AS5350 and AS5400 are compelling solutions that showcase Cisco's commitment to delivering reliable and high-performance telecommunications devices. By offering state-of-the-art technology, robust features, and a modular approach to scalability, businesses and service providers can ensure they remain competitive in the ever-evolving telecommunications landscape. Whether it is for voice, data, or multimedia applications, these gateways deliver the performance and flexibility needed to meet current and future challenges.
