SPE Firmware
SPE firmware is automatically downloaded to a universal port or dial-only feature card from the
Cisco AS5350XM or Cisco AS5400XM universal gateway when you boot the system for the first time
or when you insert a universal port or dial-only feature card while the system is operating. When you
insert feature cards while the system is operating, the Cisco IOS image recognizes the feature cards and
downloads the required firmware to the feature cards.
The SPE firmware image is bundled with the gateway Cisco IOS image. The SPE firmware image uses
an autodetect mechanism, which enables the universal port feature card to service multiple call types.
An SPE detects the call type and automatically configures itself for that operation. The firmware is
upgradable independently of Cisco IOS upgrades, and different firmware versions can be configured to
run on SPEs in the same feature card.
The universal port and dial-only feature cards support the modem standards and features listed in
Table
