2.2 Router 1-Port Serial SIC
2.2.1 Introduction
1-port multiprotocol synchronous/asynchronous serial interface card (Router 1-Port
Serial SIC) supports both synchronous and asynchronous operating modes. It
supports:
z Transmission/Receiving and handling of synchronous and asynchronous serial
data streams;
z Different operating modes, such as V.24/V.35 and DTE/DCE, depending on the
actual applications;
z Automatic external cable type detection without the need of manual configuration;
z Local loopback and remote loopback, facilitating fault test and location.
I. Synchronous and asynchronous
In different operating modes, a synchronous/asynchronous serial interface supports
different signal standards and baud rates and the maximum transmission distance of
the signals is related to the baud rate setting. For the relationships between cable type,
baud rate setting and signal transmission distance, see the following table.

3Com Router 5000 and Router 6000 v2.41
Module Guide
Caution:
The baud rate cannot exceed 64 kbps if V.24 cable is used and the interface operates in synchronous
mode.
II. DTE and DCE
The synchronous serial interface supports both DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and
DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) operating modes. Given that two devices
are directly connected, if one operates in the DTE mode, the other will operate in the
DCE mode. The DCE device provides the synchronous clock and specifies the
communicating rate. The DTE device receives the synchronous clock and
communicates at the specified rate. Generally, the Router is used as a DTE device. To
make sure that the device is a DTE or DCE, refer to the manual shipped with this
device. In addition, the following table may also help you to identify the type of the
device.
Chapter 2 Smart Interface Cards
Table 2-4 Typical DTE and DCE equipment
Equipment type Interface type Typical equipment
DTE Male PC, Router
DCE Female Modem, Multiplexer, CSU/DSU
Asynchronous serial interface is generally used as dialing port and connected to a
modem or a Terminal Adapter (TA). In this case, regardless of the operating mode of
the device, only an appropriate baud rate for the interface needs to be selected.
Synchronous serial interface is generally used for the direct connection to such a
device as DDN, frame relay, or X.25 switch.

SIC/MIM and even damage the router.
z When using a telephone cable with ferrite core outdoors, you are recommended to install a special
lightning arrester on the input end of the cable in order to avoid lightning more effectively.
Chapter 2 Smart Interface Cards
If the SIC has been properly installed, follow these steps to connect the cable:
Step 1: Confirm the type of the ISDN line provided by your telecom service provider;
Step 2: Connect the cable;
z For Router 2-Port ISDN-S/T SIC
If the ISDN U interface is adopted for the line, use NT1 for conversion. The connecting
procedure is to insert one end of the telephone cable with ferrite core into the BRI S/T
interface of Router 2-Port ISDN-S/T SIC and the other end into the NT1.
If the line uses the ISDN S/T interface, directly insert the cable with ferrite core into the
BRI S/T interface of the Router 2-Port ISDN-S/T SIC and the other end into the ISDN
S/T interface.
z For Router 2-Port ISDN-U SIC
If the ISDN U interface is adopted for the line, directly insert the cable with ferrite core
into the BRI U interface of the Router 2-Port ISDN-U SIC and the other end into the
ISDN U interface.
If the line uses the ISDN S/T interface, contact the agent and replace the SIC with
Router 2-Port ISDN-S/T SIC.
Step 3: Power on the Router, and check the corresponding Related LED on the front
panel of the Router. If the LED is ON, it indicates that the SIC has passed the self-test
and can operate normally. If the LED is OFF, it indicates the failure of the self-test. In
such a case, please contact your agent.

Step 4: Check the LED on the SIC panel: ON means the SIC is normally powered on.
If it is OFF, contact the agent.

2.4 Router 1-Port Fractional E1 SIC
2.4.1 Introduction
1-port channelized E1/cE1/PRI compatible interface card supports:
z Transmission/Receiving and handling of E1 data streams;
z CE1 (channelized E1) access;
z ISDN PRI function;
z Remote loopback and local loopback functions, facilitating fault test and location.
It is possible to use the card for multiple purposes through different configurations.
Following are the differences between SIC-EPRI and 1-port Fractional E1 interface
card (Router 1-Port Fractional E1 SIC):
z FE1 mode of Router 1-Port Fractional E1 SIC can support only one channel
bundle (the rate is n x 64kbps, n=1-31), while the 31 channels can be grouped
into multiple arbitrary bundles by SIC-EPRI;
z Router 1-Port Fractional E1 SIC does not support PRI mode.
