The Voice Switch Service Module (VXSM) product is supported by the MGX 8880 Media Gateway and the MGX 8850 Multiservice Switch. Refer to their respective release notes for platform and version level support guidelines.
Note
To verify that you have the latest version of Cisco IOS required to support the new features included in this release, please check Cisco IOS availability status at Cisco.com. The VXSM software release notes are supported by Cisco Voice Switch Services (VXSM) Configuration Guide, Release 5.6.10 and Cisco Voice Switch Services (VXSM) Command Reference, Release 5.6.10, both of which are available on cisco.com.
Multiple Bearer IP Pool Support for Alternative Codec String Hold Tone During Warm Transfer Increased Announcement IDs on VXSM Ignoring Unsupported Parameters in SDP Preference for Codec Negotiation
Usage Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you configure a multiple bearer IP pool on VXSM:
Supported on all codec templates for the H248 protocol. Supports all card types such as T1, E1, OC3, and so on. Supports a maximum eight of bearer pools. Supports minimum zero and a maximum of eight bearer IPs in each pool. VXSM shall support two new packages vpnd and evpnd while creating pdn termination. Pools can be shared across different Virtual Media Gateways (VMG). The default pool name is networkA.

Firmware Images
Configures Announcement File. Displays the configuration parameters for a specified announcement file. Displays the configuration parameters for a all the announcement files.

Firmware Images
For each VXSM card type (OC-3/STM-1, T1/E1, or T3), two firmware images are available, namely, Non-CALEA and CALEA. When placing an order, the user must specify whether a Non-CALEA or CALEA image is required. Both CALEA and Non-CALEA images supports three Media Gateway Control protocols, namely, H.248, MGCP, and TGCP. However, VXSM supports only one protocol at a time. The user must choose between the H.248, MGCP, and TGCP protocols when the image is first loaded from the PXM using the setrev command.
Release Notes for Cisco Voice Switch Service Module (VXSM) Release 5.6.10
OL-23364-03
The CALEA image supports LI based on SII architecture for H.248, TGCP and MGCP protocols. The PktCable CALEA is supported only with MGCP and TGCP protocols. VXSM supports four different Codec templates; Tandem Gateway (TGW), Tandem Gateway 2, Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC), and Cable. The Cable template can be used only in conjunction with TGCP.
VXSM supports upgrade of non-CALEA to CALEA firmware. But upgrade from CALEA to non-CALEA is not supported. When loading or upgrading a boot or runtime image to a VXSM card, users must observe the following caution:
Caution
If an H.248 association is active with SrvChgProfile (used in service change message) as BT_TGW in 5.3.x.x release, after graceful upgrade to 5.6.10, the association will continue to use BT_TGW, but new association(s) cannot be added with SrvChgProfile as BT_TGW. From the 5.4.00 release onward, the BT_TGW SrvChgProfile is no longer available. All new associations must be added using either etsi_tgw or CISCO_TGW. Prior to upgrade, user should confirm that additional termtypes (other than the defaults) have not been configured for VXSM in H.248.
Warning
Many of the commands involved in loading or upgrading boot and runtime images can take several minutes to execute completely. If the user resets or otherwise disturbs the VXSM card during a loading or upgrading process, the card can easily be damaged even to the extent that it must be returned to the factory for repair. In particular: Do not reset VXSM or PXM cards manually or through commands such as resetcd or resetsys Do not save all MGX configurations with commands such as saveallcnfs. Do not toggle primary/secondary cards through commands such as switchredcd, delred Do not change the name of software image before or during the upgrade Do not change any configuration of active primary card during the upgrade THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE COMMAND PROMPT AFTER A COMMAND IS ENTERED DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THE IMAGE LOAD OR UPGRADE HAS BEEN COMPLETED. After the execution of the burnboot, clrsmcnf, loadrev, or setrev commands, the user must execute either a dspcds or dsprev command periodically to verify that the state of the VXSM card being loaded or upgraded is either Active, Standby, or Failed. ONLY WHEN THE CARD IS DISPLAYED TO BE IN ONE OF THESE STATES IS IT SAFE TO GO TO THE NEXT STEP.

Feature Clarifications
If the upgrade procedure is interrupted for reasons outside the control of the user (for example, a power outage), see Interrupted Procedure Recovery below for instructions.
Execute the abortrev command: abortrev <PrimarySlot> <NewImageRevision> If the primary VXSM becomes Failed/Active (out of Failed-U/Active), then execute the resetcd command resetcd <PrimarySlot> If the secondary VXSM becomes Failed/Active (out of Failed-U/Active), then execute the resetcd command: resetcd <SecondarySlot> Both primary and secondary VXSM cards should now have their original SW image and original DB

Feature Clarifications
Call Rate Performance Support
VXSM OC3 Card supports the following call rates:
In MGCP, the maximum CPS supported is 60 (without signaling). If signaling (M3UA/IUA/RUDP) is configured, then the maximum supported CPS is 50. In H.248, the maximum CPS supported is 85 (without signaling). If signaling (M3UA/IUA) is configured, then the maximum supported CPS is 50.

In this example, 175 G711 calls have been established along with four G711 resources used for diagnostics. The online diagnostics feature does not reduce the maximum number of 8064 G711 DSP resources available for calls on the VXSM card. If the number of call requests on the VXSM is sufficiently high, the online diagnostic feature is disabled automatically and the four Codecs are made available for active calls.
Log on to http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/index.shtml Locate the VXSM platform (either VXSM 8880 or VXSM 8850) and click the down arrow to expand the Select Release Level drop down menu. Select the desired MIB release level (for example, Release 5500) to display a list of downloadable files. Click on the desired file (for example, mgx8850-fw-5500.tar). Read the license agreement and, if approved, click Accept. In the Software Download dialog box, click on Download: filename (where filename is the name of the file selected for download). This step starts the download procedure. Follow the normal file download procedure for your computer. When the file has been downloaded, untar or unzip the downloaded file. The MIB file is included in the downloaded file and is listed as a tar file (for example mgx8850rel5500mib.tar).
