Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Configuration Guide
The following hardware configuration is used on the Cisco AS5200 access server:
• One 2-port T1 PRI card
• One 48-port card containing four 6-port MICA 56K modem modules and two 12-port Microcom
V.34 modem modules
To configure basic physical partitioning, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Enter global configuration mode:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
Step 2 Create the modem pool for the 56K MICA modem services using the modem-pool name command. The
modem pool is called 56kservices, which spans four 6-port MICA 56K modem modules.
Router(config)# modem-pool 56kservices
Router(config-modem-pool)#
Note The router is in modem pool configuration mode after the prompt changes from
Router(config)# to Router(config-modem-pool)#.
Step 3 Assign a range of modems to the modem pool using the pool-range number-number command. Because
all the 56K MICA technologies modems are seated in slot 1, they are assigned TTY line numbers 1 to
24. Use the show line EXEC command to determine the TTY line numbering scheme for your access
server.
Router(config-modem-pool)# pool-range 1-24
Step 4 Assign a DNIS to the modem pool using the called-number number [max-conn number] command.
This example uses the DNIS 5550101 to connect to the 56K modems. The maximum simultaneous
connection limit is set to 24. The 25th user who dials 5550101 gets a busy signal.
Router(config-modem-pool)# called-number 5550101 max-conn 24
Step 5 Return to EXEC mode by entering Ctrl-Z. Next, display the modem pool configuration using the show
modem-pool command. In the following example, 56K modems are in the modem pool called
56kservices. The remaining 24 V.34 Microcom modems are still in the default system pool.
Router(config-modem-pool)# ^Z
Router# show modem-pool
modem-pool: System-def-Mpool
modems in pool: 24 active conn: 0
0 no free modems in pool
modem-pool: 56kservices
modems in pool: 24 active conn: 0
0 no free modems in pool
called_party_number: 5550101
max conn allowed: 24, active conn: 0
0 max-conn exceeded, 0 no free modems in pool
Step 6 Create the modem pool for the Microcom physical partition. After the configuration is complete, the
show modem-pool command shows that there are no remaining modems in the system default modem
pool.
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# modem-pool v34services
