Functional Overview
The Cisco AS5850 supports high-density dial aggregation and integrates with the Cisco AS5350 and
Cisco AS5400 universal gateways for scaling your service provider network.
The Cisco AS5850 universal gateway also supports high availability of service through online insertion
and removal (OIR) capabilities and redundant power modules that are hot swappable. All active
components within the chassis support OIR, which allows components to be removed or replaced while
the system is powered on. Feature cards can be busied-out through the software to avoid loss of calls.
The Cisco AS5850 is compatible with the Cisco Universal Gateway Manager (UGM) network
management software. For more on Cisco UGM, see the
“Network Management” section on page 1-8

The Cisco AS5850 supports Channelized T1, E1,T3 PRI, and STM1 ingress interfaces that terminate
ISDN and modem calls at DS0 granularity. Digital calls are terminated onboard the trunk card, and
analog calls are sent to port handling resources on the same card or on other feature cards. As a result,
