•
Fax DialOut running with a minimum of Cisco IOS Release 11.3(6)T is possible with the fax
firmware available in 3.2.10 and with Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1) and higher. Cisco recommends
Cisco IOS Release 11.3(4)T and higher because there was a serious bug (CSCdj61765) with
abnormal disconnects in earlier versions, which was fixed in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(4)T and
higher.
•
Only RAM based K56flex client modems are supported because the early ROM based K56flex
implementations were not stable and are not currently supported by Rockwell.
Notices
•
Because of a reliability problem with back-to-back tests (CSCdj74085), it is recommended that no
modem startup be configured.
•
Defaults for 5.0.xx:
– :T124 = 43
– :T110 = 44
•
Disable K56flex/K56plus in the following 5.0.xx images:
– :T110 - 38 (decimal). Disables K56flex by disabling V.8bis negotiation.
– :T124 = 11 (decimal). Disables K56plus.
•
You must change the country code setting if you are using your modems in a country other than those
included in the USA country code. The USA country code is used for the following:
– Argentina
– Brazil

The K56flex DSP code must be stored in the Cisco AS5200 access server’s boot Flash memory with
the new 56K modems. See Downloading Modem Code for more information.
The current Flash file system does not support removing individual files when the Flash is
full. The Flash memory must be erased and then restored with the required files in order to
free up Flash memory space. Therefore, it is highly recommended that copy operations to
the boot Flash memory be limited to an absolute minimum.

Differences Between Firmware Versions 5.3.30 and 5.2.30
Note
Firmware version 5.3.30 is a maintenance release and should be used instead of previous
versions. This is the final Cisco Microcom release.
Firmware version 5.3.30 supports the same features as version 5.2.30.
Differences Between Firmware Versions 5.2.30 and 5.1.20
Firmware version 5.2.30 supports the following changes over version 5.1.20:
•
Maintenance fixes on the previous baseline. Some minor enhancements were included that may
resolve issues regarding reporting incorrect speeds reported by the modem by way of the
Out-of-Band Port (OOBP), which is used for modem management. Additional Cisco proprietary
design features were also incorporated.
•
The following registers were revised:

OL-0025-01
Revision History
– :T52 revised to support independent V.90 Tx Power Level Adjust.
– :T127 revised to support server Rx aggression/nonaggression rate control.
– :T110 revised to default 0d36 matching server-client reported rates over Robbed bit signaling
(RBS).
Bugs Fixed in 5.2.30
•
CSCdm35014—Data loss/corruption during V.21 and Bell 103 300 bps connection. The DSP was
set to synchronous mode although the connection was asynchronous. The DSP is notified of the
configuration change by a set bit.
•
CSCdm05446— K56flex PCM Rates over RBS report incorrectly. Register:t110 default is now set
to 0d36 to report K56 Tx rates to be equal to client Rx rates over RBS. To disable V.8bis, set the
register to 0d38. RBS counter will be reported in the @E report for flex connections only. RBS
counter now reports as N/A for all other modulations.
•
CSCdk93866—ModemSurfr V2.083 has error correction problems in V.90 with some circuits.
Register:T52 is now used only for V.90 transmit levels. It is set to 12 by default. Register :T51 still
defaults to 13 and effects V.34 connections. Transmit levels for flex connections are locked at -12
dB. This change alleviates many if not all of the Retrains and Rate Renegotiations problems reported
by some V.90 and V.34 modems under certain conditions. It also has the effect of increasing the
client V.90 connect rates on certain lines an average of 1.333 kbps.
•
CSCdk89980—Cases of speed throttling or excessive V.42 receive errors on marginal circuits.
Register :T127 has 3 new bits defined that fix this bug. (The default is still 0.) Bits 2 and 3 are used
to reduce the receive speeds for V.90, flex, and V.34 modulations. This is one of the enhanced Cisco
Access Server features incorporated under CSCdk89980. Nonaggressive settings are described in
Table 2.

•
CSCdk90934—Digital Pad compensation disable. You can now set Register :T127 bit 4 = 1 to
disable compensation.
•
CSCdm25849— MABP character counter errors. The modems now correctly report the number of
transmitted and received characters during a connection by way of the Out-Of-Band (MABP) port
in all modes.
•
CSCdm29789—Inability to dial out when set to certain countries. All countries now default to

Differences Between Firmware Versions 5.1.20 and 5.0.40
Firmware version 5.1.20 supports the following changes over version 5.0.40:
•
Maintenance fixes on the previous baseline.
Bugs Fixed In 5.1.20
•
CSCdk39344—Power level reduction in K56flex with Lucent modem.
•
CSCdm21172—Some client initiated rate renegotiations cause receive rates to spiral down to low
V.34 levels.
•

•
CSCdk90101—Back-to-Back does not work reliably with a 28.8K Cap.
•
CSCdk91863—Mcom OOB Spewing Connection Update Messages.
•
CSCdk93866— ModemSurfr V2.083 has EC problems in V.90 with some circuits.
•

•
CSCdk86050—Rate Renegotiation Requests & Disconnects in V.34.
•
CSCdk24518—Bell212 MNP broken on 5.0.24 code.
Differences Between Firmware Versions 5.0.40 and 5.0.20
Firmware version 5.0.40 supports the following changes over version 5.0.20:
•
A workaround has been added to resolve an issue regarding Lucent-based V.90 clients making
excessive (could be as high as 50% depending on client and firmware revision) normal mode
connections when the client is set to defaults (S109=1). This client default will negotiate a V.90 or
K56flex connection and allow the V.8bis handshake. V.90 was being advertised by the server modem
by bit 1 in octet 15 of V.8bis (octet 15 sent as 83). The workaround is to clear this bit (octet 15 sent
as 81) which will force a K56flex connection for Lucent clients ONLY. The current K56flex
implementation does not have an issue of connecting in Normal mode, therefore connections will be
more stable.
•
A new register has been added. Bit 1 of :T127 controls this workaround. The default is zero
(:T127=0). To disable the workaround, set :T127=2 (set bit 1).
Note
Forcing V.90 on the client by setting S109=2 would also disable this
workaround while still allowing for V.90 connections. However, if V.90
connections are desired on Lucent modems they should be limited to below
50K for now.
Bugs Fixed In 5.0.40
•
CSCdj85485—Older modems can not connect to 56k microcom modems.

Changing Country Codes on Microcom Modems
This section describes how to change the country code on Microcom modems in Cisco AS5200
Universal Access Servers running Cisco IOS Release 11.2(8)P, 11.2(9)P, 11.3(x), 11.3(T), 12.0(x), or
12.0(x)T. See Changing Country Codes on Microcom Modems—Cisco AS5300 for a description of
country codes on the Cisco AS5300.
Note
With the introduction of Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10)P and Release 11.3(2)T for
Cisco AS5200, the system supports changing country codes as described in Changing
Country Codes on Microcom Modems—Cisco AS5300.
The default country code is USA. The USA country code is also used for the following countries:
Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia,
Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. If you are using the modems in a different
country, you must change the country code.
Note
Customers using Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1 or higher will be prompted to use the
Service Processing Element (SPE) command instead of the modem-pool command to
download code. The modem-pool command will no longer be available, and the existing
modem firmware configurations in the router will be converted to the new spe command
format. See the “Downloading Modem Code” section for more information.

This concludes the procedure for changing the country code.
Country codes that are set manually, not following the procedure just described, will remain in effect
until one of the following events occur:
•
Another -I command is sent.
•
The firmware is reloaded (firmware reloads will always reset the country code to USA).
•
The access server is power cycled.
•
The access server is reloaded.
If you have questions or need assistance, refer to Obtaining Documentation.
Changing Country Codes on Microcom Modems—Cisco AS5300
Cisco IOS Release 11.2(9)XA and higher introduced a new command to change the country code. This
section describes how to change the country code in the Cisco AS5300 Universal Access Server with the
new command.
Note
The new command is updated for Cisco AS5200 access servers running Cisco IOS
Release 11.2(10)P and Release 11.3(2)T.
To change the country code on Microcom modems in Cisco AS5300 universal access servers, use the
following command from global configuration mode:
5300(config)# modem country microcom_hdms <country name>
This command specifies the country to set the modem parameters (including encoding) for Microcom
modems. The default is usa. Note that the access server will reset the Microcom modems for the
command to take effect.

Downloading Modem Code
For additional details on this feature including country codes, refer to the Cisco AS5300 Universal
Access Server Software Configuration Guide and the Updates to Cisco AS5300 Universal Access Server
Module Installation and Software Configuration Guides. See the “Related Documentation” section for
more information.
Note
If you previously set the country code by editing the modemcap file (that is, by following
the procedure described in Changing Country Codes on Microcom Modems), you must edit
the file again to delete the country code entry (-i18z). Otherwise, you will not be able to
use the modem country command.
Downloading Modem Code
Use the following information to download modem code. For 56K systems running Cisco IOS Release
12.0(4)XI1and 12.0(5)T, the spe command is available. When you enter the copy xxxx modem
command on a 56K system, an error message appears, and you are prompted to use the spe command.
Note
V.34 modems can only use the copy xxxx modem command and will not support the spe
commands. See downloading modem code on Cisco AS5200 V.34/V.110 or AS5300 V.34
Systems Running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1.
Cisco AS5200 or AS5300 56K Systems Running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1
To download modem portware/firmware using the spe command, use the following steps:
Step 1
Enter the spe command, one configuration command per line, in the following format:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#spe <slot>/<spe_begin> <slot>/<spe_end>
Router(config-spe)#firmware location <the_filesystem:filename>
For example, the following example shows an SPE download loading Slot 1 (that is, all modems on the
feature card). The modem code resides on the Flash memory, and the modem code filename is
mcom-modem-code.5.3.30.bin.
Router(config)# spe 1/0 1/23
Router(config-spe)# firmware location flash:mcom-modem-code.5.3.30.bin
Step 2
Press CNTL Z (^Z) to complete the configuration and return to the router prompt:
Router(config-spe)# CNTL z
Router#
Step 3
Copy the configuration from NVRAM into running RAM:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Download occurs when the modems become available.

Downloading Modem Code
The spe command is a configuration command—save it by using the write
memory command; otherwise, the configuration is not saved and the specified
firmware will not download after the next reboot.
Note
SPE Range Description
•
SPE ranges cannot span across the following parameters:
– Empty slots.
– Empty SPE units.
– SPEs of different firmware attributes in adjacent slots.
Note
The typical T1 system for the Cisco AS5300 uses only 8 MICA modules, so
even adjacent slots having MICA modems appear with a 2 SPE range entry
(they typically have 8 modules; slots 9 and 10 are empty).
•
SPE ranges must represent the same hardware.
•
New SPEs inserted in place of old ones with higher SPE capacity:
– Break the SPE range if the original SPE is non-default.
– Expand the range if the original SPE is the default.
•
New SPEs inserted in place of old ones with lower SPE capacity shrink the SPE range.
•
Entering “no firmware location” triggers a download of the default firmware.
Troubleshooting SPE
To troubleshoot the SPE function, use the following information:
Router(config)# spe 2/12 2/14
Router(config-spe)# firmware location flash:mcom-fw-dsp.5.3.3_47.22.bin
Please use 'copy' command, firmware download not supported for this type of SPE 2/12
Please use 'copy' command, firmware download not supported for this type of SPE 2/13
Please use 'copy' command, firmware download not supported for this type of SPE 2/14

Downloading Modem Code
Cisco AS5200 V.34/V.110 or AS5300 V.34 Systems Running Cisco IOS Release
12.0(4)XI1
Access servers with V.34 modems or V.110 Microcom terminal adapters must continue to use the copy
xxxx modem command. When the spe command is entered, it displays a message that the command is
not supported. On boot up, because these modems do not require download, the command displays the
location of the firmware as “feature_card_flash.” For example:
spe 1/0 2/23
firmware location feature_card_flash
For firmware download procedures using the copy xxxx modem command, see the URLs in the
following section.
Cisco AS5200 or AS5300 Running Cisco IOS Releases Earlier Than 12.0(4)XI1

Configuration Guide:
For the Cisco AS5200, refer to the Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Server Software Configuration Guide
Cisco AS5200 Running Cisco IOS Release 11.2(8)P and 11.2(9)P
In order to support K56flex modulation, Cisco AS5200 access servers running Cisco IOS
Release 11.2(8)P and 11.2(9)P require two files that represent two modem code images: controller
firmware and DSP software. Versions of the firmware and DSP software must be compatible. To
determine compatibility, compare the filenames. For example, notice the similarity in the filenames for
version 3.1.30 that follow:
Note
•
mcom-modem-fw-3.1.30-1.1.0.bin (controller firmware filename)
•
mcom-modem-dsp-3.1.30-1.1.0.bin (DSP software filename)
Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T uses the two separate modem code files described above, and
Cisco IOS Release 11.3(2)T uses the single modem code file.
The firmware is stored in the modem Flash memory, and the DSP software is stored in the access server’s
boot Flash memory. The procedure for downloading the DSP code is outlined in Figure 1. It is important
to note that the current Flash-based file system does not support the erasing or deleting of individual
files.
Figure 1 illustrates the flow of supported copy commands in the Cisco AS5200 running Cisco IOS
Release 11.2(9)P and 11.2(8)P.
