[c-nsp] Cisco AS5400XM call limitations

[Mack McBride]

It is in the data sheet:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iad/ps505/ps6269/product_data_sheet0900aecd802efc92.html

As to why this design.
My guess is that the data showed that most T3s were only 80% utilized.
It can also route TDM circuits for a full 2 x CT3 so it can only terminate 550 calls but you
Should be able to forward the remainder to a parallel device.

I am not an expert on these but it doesn't look like you need another box in front to handle it.

Oh?... I am about to buy a AS5400XM for an install that we plan on loaded up a full DS3 on it.  Can you point me to the data saying it can only handle 550 calls?

Thanks...

Any idea why Cisco didn't build a box that can handle the full 672 DS0s in a CT3?    They will primarily handle g711 calls, some modem NAS stuff and a bit of t.38
