Chapter 5 Managing And Troubleshooting The Universal Port Card - Cisco AS5350 - Universal Access Server Configuration Manual

Managing and Troubleshooting the
Universal Port Card
Note The information herein applies to the Cisco AS5350, Cisco AS5400, and Cisco AS5400HPX universal
gateways. Note that the latter requires use of Cisco IOS release 12.2(2)XB or later.
Note The cards that reside in the AS5350 and AS5400 chassis, sometimes referred to as dial feature cards
(DFC), are of two types: trunk cards, which provide an E1, T1, or T3 interface, and universal port cards,
which host the universal DSPs that dynamically handle voice, dial, and fax calls.
A universal port card is a hardware card that processes digital signals for the Cisco AS5350 and
Cisco AS5400 universal gateways. Ports on the universal port card support multiple types of services such
as modem, fax, digital data, and voice. You can manage your port connections at the universal-port-card
slot level, service-processing-element (SPE) level, or port level using monitoring and troubleshooting
commands. A port is defined as an endpoint on a trunk card through which multiservice tones, voice,
and data flow. There are multiple ports per SPE.
