[cisco-voip] Cisco AS5400XM

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Not sure if you've seen it before, but the Dynamic Configuration Tool is very handy for stuff like this. You can see alternatives listed and select everything you need. Missing a piece? It will tell you. I used to build from the price list directly and/or data sheets until my SE asked me why I wasn't using the configuration tool. I told him I hadn't seen it before.

You still have to do due diligence by checking whether a piece is EOL or not (could be EOL but still orderable sometimes), but at least it helps with making sure you have the correct licenses, etc.

Mark, 

Thanks for verifying my configuration. Contacted Cisco and they came 
back with different hardware than the list that I sent them: 

(1) AS54-DFC-8CT1 (Octal T1/PRI DFC Card) 
(1) AS5X-FC (Feature card with six PVDM DSP modules slots) 
(4) AS5X-PVDM2-65 (64-Channel Packet Voice/Fax DSP modules) 

I'm a little confused on the DSP differences, the list I sent to Cisco 
was for two "AS5400 108 Voice/Universal Port Feature Cards" and 
instead they send back a different feature card and some Voice/Fax DSP 
modules. 

Help with a couple more questions would be greatly appreciated. 

1. Do both the "AS5400 108 Voice/Universal card" and the "Voice/Fax 
DSP modules" support the PRI to SIP signaling I am wanting to do? 

2. Am I losing anything by getting the Voice/Fax vs the 
Voice/Universal? What are the differences? 

Thanks, 
Kyle Sexton
