Objective
This document serves as a software installation and configuration guide describing detailed advanced configuration management alternatives for the Cisco AS5850 universal gateway. The guide provides a conceptual framework for Cisco AS5850 network connectivity, and covers four primary levels of network management: operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning. Administrators can quickly commission the system to take a call using the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway Commissioning Guidelines, and then use this document as a reference and procedures manual to subsequently deploy diverse task-oriented protocol settings and engage all networking capabilities. This guide references features described in the Cisco IOS configuration guides and command references. Refer to those documents for additional information.
Audience
This publication includes basic software configuration to enable users to get their systems running as quickly as possible. However, this document does not include extensive software configuration instructions enabling users to customize their Cisco AS5850 gateways. For more inclusive software configuration, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guides and command references, and in this guide to the documents listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
This guide is intended primarily for the following audiences:
•Customers with technical networking background and experience
•Customers who support dial-in users
•System administrators who are familiar with the fundamentals of router-based internetworking, but who may not be familiar with Cisco IOS software
•System administrators who are responsible for installing and configuring internetworking equipment, and who are familiar with Cisco IOS software
Organization
This software configuration guide is organized into the following chapters and appendixes:

Related Documentation
The Cisco AS5850 consists of a route switch controller and feature cards (an 8 channelized E1 trunk + 216 universal port card, channelized T3 trunk +216 universal port card, and 324 universal port card). Additional field-replaceable units include the cooling module and power entry module.
Note A Cisco AS5850 using only 8 channelized E1 trunk + 216 universal port cards or channelized T3 trunk +216 universal port card can be used as a remove server without an async port-handling card such as the 324 universal port card. If you require full modem coverage, one or more dedicated port-handling cards need to be installed to handle DS0 overflow from the hybrid trunk/port-handling cards.
Timesaver Verify that you have access to the documents listed in Table 3. These documents are available in print, on CD-ROM, and online.

Obtaining Technical Assistance
Cisco provides Cisco.com, which includes the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) Website, as a starting point for all technical assistance. Customers and partners can obtain online documentation, troubleshooting tips, and sample configurations from the Cisco TAC website. Cisco.com registered users have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website, including TAC tools and utilities.
Cisco.com
Cisco.com offers a suite of interactive, networked services that let you access Cisco information, networking solutions, services, programs, and resources at any time, from anywhere in the world.
Cisco.com provides a broad range of features and services to help you with these tasks:
•Streamline business processes and improve productivity
•Resolve technical issues with online support
•Download and test software packages
•Order Cisco learning materials and merchandise
•Register for online skill assessment, training, and certification programs
To obtain customized information and service, you can self-register on Cisco.com at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com
Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center. The avenue of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.
We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:
•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.
•Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.
•Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.
•Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
Cisco TAC Website
You can use the Cisco TAC website to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC website, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website. Some services on the Cisco TAC website require a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC website, you can open a case online at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/index.html
If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC website so that you can describe the situation in your own words and attach any necessary files.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.
To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml
Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled: for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). When you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
