The E1/FE1 Adapter Module provides high speed connectivity to E1 digital data
services. It operates at fractional rates up to full E1 speed, and supports both the
G.703 and G.704 standards.
Before You Begin
This guide is intended for qualified service personnel who are installing the
E1/FE1 Adapter Module in an AN/ANH, ARN, Passport 5430, or Passport 2430
for the first time or who need to install or replace any customer-replaceable unit
(CRU). A qualified service person should have appropriate technical training and
experience and be aware of the hazards involved in installing and replacing
CRUs.

E1/FE1 Connections
The BayStack route rs support the c onversion of data (HDLC protocol ) from a n E1
line using an optional E1/FE1 adapter module. The integrated DSU/CSU
functionality allows direct connection to the E1 network, as opposed to
connecting via an external adapter. This solution reduces equipment costs and
simplifies c onnection to an E1 carrier.
The E1/FE1 implementation supports dynamic reconfiguration, Fractional E1
loopback, and an integrated Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) line tester. Configuring

Note: The only boot/startup methods you can use from the E1/FE1 WAN
adapter module interface are Local Boot and EZ-Install. The E1/FE1 WAN
adapter module does not support Netboot or Directed Netboot.
Note: Adding softwar e for the WAN adapter module may incr ease the rou ter’s
memory requirements beyond its current capacity. If the BayStack router
experiences a memory problem, see the section “Memory or Buffer Problem”
in Troubleshooting Routers. For information about changing the router image,

Warning:
AN, ANH, and ARN BayStack routers, and the Passport 5430 and Passport

WAN Adapter Module Placement Considerations
When installing WAN adapter modules in the Passport 5430 Module slots, note
the following:
• Each WAN adapter module you install is automatically assigned a circuit,
even if the WAN adapter module has not been configured. This prevents
disruption of active circuits if you reconfigure the module at a later time.
• ISDN BRI adapter modules can use two circuits (one for each of the 2 B
channels).
• You can configure a total of 4 circuits.
• Circuit allocations are prioritized according to which Module slot is being
used by the WAN adapter modules. Module slot 3 has priority over Module
slot 4, and Module slot 4 has priority over Module slot 5.
302702-B Rev 00
3-1
E1/FE1 Adapter Module
• When there are more than the 4 possible circuits to be configured, for example
if there are 2 ISDN BRI adapter modules and a serial adapter module (5
circuits in all), circuit allocation becomes an issue.
In the example above, the first ISDN BRI module (in Module slot 3) has the
resources to bring up a sec ond B channel (thus usin g 2 circui ts). The s erial adapt er
in Module slot 4 uses a third circuit. The second ISDN BRI adapter module (in
Module slot 5), can have only 1 B channel configured because the serial adapter
module (in Module slot 4) has priority and is allocated a circuit over anything in
Module slot 5. In this case, there are not enough circuits left to utilize the second
B channel on the ISDN BRI adapter in Module slot 5. In this example, if you
wanted to have both B channels on both ISDN BRI adapters configured, you
would have to remove the serial card from Module slot 4.

E1/FE1 Connections
The Passport 5430 supports the conversion of data (HDLC protocol) from an E1
line using an optional E1/FE1 adapter module. The integrated DSU/CSU
functionality allows direct connection to the E1 network, as opposed to
connecting via an external adapter. This solution reduces equipment costs and
simplifies c onnection to an E1 carrier.
The E1/FE1 implementation supports dynamic reconfiguration, Fractional E1
loopback, and an integrated Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) line tester. Configuring
WAN Line Services describes these services and how to configure them for
connection to a E1 network.
