Tip If you are having trouble:
• Make sure the serial interface and protocol are up by entering the show interface serial command.
• Check the IP address.

Configuring the Universal Port Card and Lines
Rather than the more traditional line/modem one-to-one correspondence, lines are mapped to a Service
Process Element (SPE) that resides on the universal port card. Associated SPE firmware serves a
function similar to modem code on a MICA modem.
One SPE provides services for multiple ports. Busyout and shutdown can be configured at the SPE or
port level. There are several universal port cards, each with a different number or ports, available for the
Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400.
The universal port card performs the following functions:
• Converts pulse code modulation (PCM) bitstreams to digital packet data
• Forwards converted and packetized data to the main processor, which examines the data and
forwards it to the backhaul egress interface
• Supports all modem standards (such as V.34 and V.42bis) and features, including dial-in and dial-out
