Questions & Answers
What is the SM-X-PVDM-500 DSP module?
The SM-X-PVDM-500 is a high-density digital signal processor module for Cisco 4000 Series routers that delivers up to 768 voice and conferencing channels in a single SM-X slot.
How many voice and conferencing channels does the SM-X-PVDM-500 support?
The SM-X-PVDM-500 supports up to 768 simultaneous voice and conferencing channels when installed in a compatible Cisco 4000 Series chassis.
Which Cisco 4000 Series routers are compatible with the SM-X-PVDM-500?
The SM-X-PVDM-500 is compatible with Cisco 4321, 4331, 4351, 4431, and 4451 routers that feature an SM-X expansion slot and appropriate power and IOS XE software.
What are the key features of the SM-X-PVDM-500 module?
Key features include 768-channel DSP capacity, hardware-based transcoding, conferencing, voice quality enhancement, and secure real-time media encryption (SRTP).
How do I install the SM-X-PVDM-500 in my router?
Power down the router, insert the SM-X-PVDM-500 into an available SM-X slot, secure the retention screws, power on the router, and verify detection via IOS XE CLI show platform hardware.
What software or IOS XE version is required for the SM-X-PVDM-500?
The SM-X-PVDM-500 requires Cisco IOS XE 16.6.1 or later with the corresponding UC feature set to enable voice DSP services.
Is a separate license required for the SM-X-PVDM-500 module?
No separate hardware license is needed for the SM-X-PVDM-500, but you must have the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications or UC Express voice feature license applied on the router.
Can I mix the SM-X-PVDM-500 with other PVDM modules?
Yes. You can install the SM-X-PVDM-500 alongside smaller PVDM2/3 modules in the same router, provided total channel capacity does not exceed system limits.
Is the SM-X-PVDM-500 hot-swappable?
No. The SM-X-PVDM-500 must be installed or removed only when the router is powered down to ensure system stability.
What is the power consumption of the SM-X-PVDM-500?
The module draws approximately 60 watts under full load; ensure your router’s power supply and cooling meet Cisco specifications for SM-X modules.
How does the SM-X-PVDM-500 improve call processing performance?
By offloading DSP tasks from the router CPU, the SM-X-PVDM-500 delivers dedicated hardware acceleration for transcoding, conferencing, and echo cancellation at scale.
Does the SM-X-PVDM-500 support conference bridging?
Yes. The SM-X-PVDM-500 provides hardware-based conference bridging and supports mixed-codec conferencing for up to 768 ports.
What media encryption protocols are supported?
The SM-X-PVDM-500 supports SRTP for secure media streams and can integrate with Cisco IOS XE TLS for signaling encryption.
What environmental specifications apply to the SM-X-PVDM-500?
The module operates in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F) with humidity up to 90% non-condensing, per Cisco environmental standards.
What warranty and support options are available?
Cisco offers a limited lifetime hardware warranty and optional SMARTnet support for advanced replacement, OS updates, and 24/7 technical assistance.
Where can I find configuration and installation guides?
