Introduction
This document describes the dspcds, cc, dspcd, version, and dspfwrevs commands. You can use these commands in order to gather version and revision information about both hardware and firmware of the ASC and the Processor Switching Module (PXM) cards.
The processor card for the MGX 8220 Shelf Concentrator, which was formerly called the AXIS shelf controller, is the ASC. The ASC is a two-card set that consists of an ASC front card and an ASC-BC back card. You can insert the ASC card set only in Slot 3 or Slot 4 of the shelf. In order to achieve 1:1 redundancy, you can insert an ASC card set in both slots.
The processor card for the MGX 8250 Edge Concentrator is the PXM card. This is a three-card set that consists of a full-height PXM front card and two half-height PXM back cards. You can insert the PXM card set only in Slot 7 or Slot 8 of the MGX 8250 Concentrator. In order to achieve 1:1 redundancy, you can insert a PXM card set in both slots.
The ASC provides a user interface in order to control, configure, and manage the shelf. The ASC interfaces with the other cards in the shelf via the cell bus on one side and with the user through console ports on the other side.
Like the ASC, the PXM also provides a user interface for control, configuration, and management. It also provides the switching function for the MGX 8250 Concentrator.

The dspcds Command
The dspcds command displays the status on all cards. It lists the cards that the ASC can see in the shelf. You can only issue this command on the active ASC or active PXM.

In the output, the CardState field indicates the status of the card in the CardType field. CardState Active indicates that ASC recognizes the card and is ready to be configured for the services it supports. You cannot configure the card for services if it is in another state.
CardState Standby indicates that the card is configured for redundancy and is the redundant backup for the adjacent card. Configurations are replicated on the redundant card by the active card. Refer to the Enclosure and Card Installation chapter of Cisco MGX 8850 Installation and Configuration, Release 1.1.00 for more information on redundancy.
The CardAlarm field indicates whether the card is in Major Alarm or Minor Alarm.
The cc Command
The cc slot-number command changes the login session to the card specified. Before you issue other commands, you must first issue the cc command.

The dspcd Command
The dspcd command displays characteristics of the current card hardware and firmware, and information about its status. In order to issue this command on a card, you must issue the cc command in order to change the session to the card.

The version Command
The version command shows the different types of version-related information such as firmware version, operating system kernel version, and the date of the software build. In order to issue this command on a card, you must change the session to the card by issuing the cc command.

The dspfwrevs Command
The dspfwrevs command displays the current revision levels of the firmware on the shelf or concentrator. You can only issue this command on the ASC or the PXM card sets.

In the output, all files with .bt extensions are bootcode files. Files with the .fw extensions are firmware files. You can use firmware files with the format sm##.fw on slots in the shelf that contain a card that matches the firmware type. However, if the format is sm##_slot#.fw, then the firmware file can only be used by that specific slot for a specific card type. If a card that does not match the firmware is inserted in that slot, then the card goes into the Reserved CardState. The Cfg field indicates whether the file is used by the shelf. The Version field indicates the version of the firmware or bootcode file. Refer to the appropriate Software Release Notes for current information about firmware and bootcode versions.
Note: The commands in this document and their explanations are valid for the MGX 8220 and MGX 8250. The screen outputs shown in this document are taken from an MGX 8220 shelf. The outputs for the MGX 8250 Concentrator are very similar.
