Follow the hardware installation steps in that manual, then refer to this document
for information specific to the serial adapter module.
WAN Adapter Module Placement Considerations
Chapter 3
303124-B Rev 00
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 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.
• 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.
3-1
Serial Adapter Module
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.
Table 3-1 lists examples of valid WAN adapter module combinations.
