Cisco AS5850 Overview
Figure 2 Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway Fully Installed—Rear View
The Cisco AS5850 is equipped with channelized T3 (CT3) or T1/E1 (CT1/E1) ingress interfaces that
provide a synchronous telecommunication interface in both North American and international
environments. These ingress interfaces are installed in the Cisco AS5850 and contain all necessary
functionality to terminate the telephone company connection.
The Cisco AS5850 universal gateway is also equipped with port cards that recognize Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) and Serial Line Interface Protocol (SLIP) framing that convert pulse code modulation
(PCM) analog bitstreams to digital data. The port card forwards converted and packetized data to the
main processor, which examines the data and forwards it to the routing logic, where the data is routed to
an external network.
The Cisco AS5850 is a 14-slot chassis that can support as many as 12 trunk or universal port cards, and
2 route switch controller cards. The chassis fits in a standard 19-inch, 4-post or standard 2-post telco
equipment rack.
