Cisco AS5800 Hardware Review
The Cisco AS5800 consists of two primary system components, the Cisco 5814 dial shelf (DS) and the
Cisco 7206 router shelf (RS).

Dial Shelf
The Cisco 5814 dial shelf (DS) houses three primary types of circuit cards or boards. Two of these circuit
cards, commonly referred to as Feature Module (FM) are trunk cards and modems. They support online
insertion and removal (OIR), a feature that permits dynamic replacement without interrupting system
activity. These CE1/T1/T3 trunk cards and DMM modem carriers provide the ingress (signal input)
interfaces for the Cisco AS5800. The third circuit card type is the dial-shelf controller (DSC) card that
provides dial-shelf chassis control and management interfaces.
Dial-Shelf Controller
The Cisco AS5800 dial-shelf controller (DSC) card is located in slots 13 or 14 on the dial-shelf
backplane interconnect bus (BIC). It manages all interfaces through the dial shelf, serves as the dial
shelfs direct interface to the router shelf, and facilitates the TDM Bus Clock. The DSC card contains
two PC card slots that hold the internal flash (bootflash).
Router Shelf
The Cisco 7206 serves as the host router for the Cisco AS5800 and conducts all route/packet route
processing functionality of carrying data between the dial shelf and an external network. Full Cisco IOS
software functionality is provided on the router shelf. Major components of the Cisco 7206 router shelf
are the network processing engine (NPE), dial-shelf interconnect port adaptor (DSI-PA), and the egress
interfaces (PAs).
The Cisco 7206 router shelf resides in a standard C7206 chassis, holds the Cisco AS5800s system
configuration, performs all Cisco AS5800 routing functions, supports NPE-400, and provides the
Cisco AS5800s egress (signal output) interfaces.
