Overview

Overview

The VoIP capability enables a Cisco access server to carry live voicetraffic(forexample,telephone
calls and faxes) over an IP network. The VoIP card is available as a spare or a factory-installed card
within the chassis. Use this document if you are:

• Installing or upgrading 6 session voice modules — Part Number AS53-6VOX (DSPM 542)

• Installing 12 session voice modules — Part Number AS53-VOXD (DSPM 549)

The VoIPcard contains multiple digital signal processor (DSP) modules. It uses the Cisco AS5300’s
interfaceand local-area network(LAN) or wide-area network (WAN)routing capabilities to provide
up to 48/60 channels per Cisco AS5300 universal access server using the AS53-6VOX voice
modules, and up to 96/120 channels per Cisco AS5300 universal access server using the
AS53-VOXD voice modules.

If you purchased a chassis with this card already installed, go directly to the section “Preparing to
Configure the Software,” page 16.

The VoIP card has two primary applications. The first application (see Figure 1) provides a
central-site telephony termination facility for VoIP traffic from multiple voice-equipped
Cisco AS5300 remote office facilities.

Safety Recommendations

Varning! Denna varningssymbol signalerar fara. Du befinner dig i en situation som kan leda till

personskada. Innan du utför arbete på någon utrustning måste du vara medveten om farorna med
elkretsar och känna till vanligt förfarande för att förebygga skador. Se förklaringar av de varningar
som förkommer i denna publikation i dokumentet Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
(Efterrättelse av föreskrifter och säkerhetsinformation), vilket medföljer denna anordning.

Safety with Electricity

Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Warning Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on

AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.

Warning To ensure your safety and the safety of others, be sure the power is OFF and the power cord is

unplugged before working on the router.

Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings,

necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause
serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Warning Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with

telephone-network voltages.

Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power

switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power
cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply
when the power cord is connected.

Warning Before performing any procedures involving installing or removing chassis elements, ensure that

power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel
board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle
of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.

Warning Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units;

disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.

Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings,

necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause
serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Warning Onlytrained and qualified service personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Caution Before opening the chassis, ensure that you have discharged all static electricity from your body

and be sure that the power is OFF.

Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:

• Locate the emergency power-OFF switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an

electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut the power OFF.

• Disconnect all power before doing the following:

— Installing or removing a chassis
— Working near power supplies

• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

• Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power

extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

• If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:

— Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
— Turn OFF power to the system.
— Ifpossible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the

victim and then call for help.

— Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take

appropriate action.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.It occurs when
electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent
failures.Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removingand replacing cards. Ensure that
the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wearan ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring
that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to
safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and
shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground
yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between

1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

General Safety Recommendations

Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:

• Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.

• Put the removed chassis cover in a safe place.

• Keep tools away from walk areas where you or others could fall over them.

• Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll

up your sleeves.

Required Tools and Equipment

• Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment

unsafe.

Required Tools and Equipment

To install or remove voice cards with DSP modules or perform other maintenance procedures, you
will need the following tools and equipment, which are not included:

• Cisco AS5300 universal access server

• Card removal tool

• Medium-size Phillips screwdriver

• ESD-preventive wrist strap

• ESD-preventive mat

• Antistatic bag (optional)

• Blank slot covers for open slots

Removing and Installing Cards and Modules

This section describes how to remove and install VoIP cards and modules. This section describes
how to:

• Removing VoIP Cards

• Removing DSP Modules

• Installing DSP Modules

• Installing VoIP Cards

Removing VoIP Cards

If you are installing (rather than replacing) a card, skip this topic.
To remove the VoIP card, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap.

Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Caution The cards are not hot-swappable (that is, you cannot remove or install them when the power to the

access server is ON). Be sure to turn OFF the power to the access server before installing or removing cards.

Failure to do so can damage the access server.

Step 2 Power OFF the access server. Turn the power switch on the access server OFF and

disconnect site power. If using a DC-powered unit, read the warning that follows, then
refer to Figure 3 and complete steps a to d.
