Power Management
Redundant load-sharing DC PEMs are standard on the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway. Voltage and current levels on each PEM can be
monitored at the ERSC console, and alarms for voltage and current thresholds are available for use by an element management system. The
DC PEMs provide over and under voltage and over current protection as well as reverse voltage protection and DC power conditioning.
Regulatory Compliance
The Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway complies with Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) Level 3 requirements, as defined
by Telcordia SR-3580; and European requirements, as defined by the ETSI.
Rich Protocol Support
The Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway takes advantage of the full-feature richness and strong IP capabilities of Cisco IOS Software. The
gateway was optimized for service-provider IP networks as well as large enterprises. In addition, it fully supports the specialized needs of
AOL dialup services through Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), or TCP Clear connections. Through its
support of all IP routing protocols, the Cisco AS5850 integrates easily into any service provider’s aggregation layer.
V.92 and V.44 Support
V.92 and V.44 are the latest modem standards to be adopted by the industry. The standards specify a set of features that allow modems to
mimic many of the benefits of broadband:
●
V.44 increases throughput by more than 100 percent when surfing the Internet.
●
V.92 Modem on Hold suspends an Internet session to place or receive a phone call.
●
V.92 Quick Connect provides a faster connect time to the Internet.
Service providers can offer revenue-generating services and increase subscriber retention with V.92 and V.44 standards. Cisco RADIUS
support for Modem on Hold allows premium subscribers to suspend their Internet sessions for longer periods of time to place or receive
phone calls. Quick Connect saves the line conditions of the last number dialed, encouraging subscribers to dial into the same Internet
service provider (ISP) to reduce connection time. Combined with greater compression and connection speeds, V.92 and V.44 allow
service providers to offer their subscribers a “broadband-lite,” which enables Internet users to experience the qualities usually associated
with broadband for the price of dialup or modem access.
Packet Telephony
The framework for voice services on the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway is based on open interfaces and standards, and it allows an
ecosystem of partners to work together to develop innovative network services.
Service providers are not locked into a single VoIP signaling technology when they choose the Cisco AS5850 because H.323, SIP, and
MGCP support are all built in, allowing service providers to enable the call control protocol that is the best fit for their networks today,
with confidence that they can respond to evolving market requirements whenever necessary.
H.323
Leading the industry through the adoption of new standards-based H.323 technology, the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway supports the
scalability enhancements introduced in H.323 Version 3 and H.323 Version 4. For example:
●
Multiple concurrent calls can be supported over a single H.225 call signaling channel to reduce call-setup and call-clearing times
and increase network call capacity.
●
H.225 messages can be transported over TCP or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as described in H.323 Annex E. Using UDP for
call signaling transport effectively enables media cut-through in a single round trip.
