Chapter 1 Overview
Cisco Product Identification Tool
Cisco Product Identification Tool
The Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool provides detailed illustrations and descriptions showing
where to locate serial number labels on Cisco products. It includes the following features:
•
A search option that allows browsing for models using a tree-structured product hierarchy
•
A search field on the final results page making it easier to look up multiple products
•
End-of-sale products are clearly identified in results lists
The tool streamlines the process of locating serial number labels and identifying products. Serial number
information expedites the entitlement process and is important for access to support services.
The Cisco Product Identification tool can be accessed at the following URL:
Dial Feature Cards
Each dial feature card (DFC) is a 5.1 by 13 inch PCI-based interface board. The following is a brief
description of the trunk types supported:
•
North American robbed-bit signaling (RBS) is supported on T1 trunks, including a variety of North
American RBS protocol, framing, and encoding types on these trunks.
•
Channel-associated signaling (CAS) is supported for E1 trunks, with R2 signaling.
•
Many countries require an E1 R2 variant. Per-country defaults are provided for supervisory and
inter-register signaling.
•
The CT3 DFC provides physical line termination for a channelized T3 ingress trunk line, and it uses
an onboard multiplexer to multiplex 28 channelized T1 lines into a single channelized T3 line.
•
Universal access (analog modem or digital calls) is supported when an interface is configured for
ISDN PRI signaling. PRI signaling is available for both T1 and E1 trunks.
In any single DFC slot, you can install your choice of:
•
One T1 dial feature card
•
One E1 dial feature card
•
One T3 dial feature card
Note
The Cisco AS5400XM universal gateway supports only one type of WAN DFC at a time. For more
information, see the
“Mixing WAN DFCs” section on page 4-2
.
Power Supply
The power system consists of a fully redundant switching power supply with two AC (or DC) inputs to
the main power modules. Each input and output is 100 percent fully redundant, with dual fans for added
reliability.
