The Cisco AS5200 universal access server is a multifaceted data communications platform that provides
all the functions of an access server, a router, modems, and terminal adapters (TAs) in a modular chassis.
Mid-sized organizations or service providers requiring centralized processing capabilities for mobile
users and telecommuters will benefit the most using the Cisco AS5200 universal access server.
With its optimization for high-speed modem access, the Cisco AS5200 universal access server is ideally
suited for all traditional dial-up applications, such as host access, electronic mail, file transfer, and
dial-in access to a local area network.
For information on new features and Cisco IOS commands supported by Cisco IOS Release 11.2(26) P,
see the “New and Changed Information” section on page 9 and the “Related Documentation” section on

Memory Recommendations
Table 1 lists the memory recommendations for the Cisco AS5200.
NoteBeginning with Cisco IOS Release 10.3, some software image sizes exceed 4 MB and, when
compressed, exceed 2 MB. Also, some systems now require more than 1 MB of main system memory
for data structure tables.

System Requirements
Feature Set Tables
The Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets consisting of software images—depending on the
platform. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features.
CautionCisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit [3DES] data
encryption feature sets) are subject to United States government export controls and have limited
distribution. Strong encryption images to be installed outside the United States are likely to require
an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay due to United States
government regulations. When applicable, purchaser/user must obtain local import and use
authorizations for all encryption strengths. Please contact your sales representative or distributor for
more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com.
Table 3 lists the features and feature sets supported by the Cisco AS5200 in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P
and uses the following conventions:
• No—The feature is not supported in the software image.
• Basic—This feature is offered in the basic feature set.
• Plus—This feature is offered in the Plus feature set, not in the basic feature set.
NoteThis table might not be cumulative or list all the features in each image. You can find the most current
Cisco IOS documentation on Cisco.com. These electronic documents may contain updates and
modifications made after the hardcopy documents were printed. If you have a Cisco.com login
account, you can find image and release information regarding features prior to
Cisco IOS Release 11.2(26) P by using the Feature Navigator tool at: http://www.cisco.com/go/fn.
