SPA Interface Addresses on the Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700
A Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router identifies a SPA interface address by its rack number,
SIP slot number, SPA subslot, and port number on the SPA, in the format rack/slot/subslot/port . Subslots
and ports are numbered starting from 0, so each Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700 has two subslots 0 (left) and 1
(right). For example, the interface addresses of a 2-port SPA located in the second SIP subslot, where the SIP
is inserted into router line card slot 3 in rack 0 are 0/3/1/0 and 0/3/1/1. The following figure shows the slot,
subslot, and port locations for the 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA on a Cisco ASR 9006 6-slot chassis.

2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA Overview
The 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA is a double-height SPA that provides Synchronous Optical NETwork
(SONET) network connectivity with a bandwidth of 622.08 Mbps.
The following sections describe the 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA:
2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA LEDs
The 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA has three types of LEDs. There are two LEDs for each port on the
SPA, and one STATUS LED. The following figure shows an example of these LEDs on a SPA.
The framer processes incoming and outgoing SONET frames. The framer operates at OC-12c/STM-4 line
rates (622.08 Mbps). Packet data is transported with a user-configured encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point
Protocol [PPP]) and mapped into the STS-12c/STM-4 frame. The main operational mode of the framer is
OC-12, where each one of the 12 Paths can carry a DS3 and each DS3 can carry 28 DS1s.
The 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA interface is compliant with ANSI and Telco standards.
2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA SFP Optical Transceiver Modules and
Cables
The 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module
installed in each port for SONET single-mode and multimode optical fiber connection. (See the following
figure.)
Cisco Systems qualifies the optics that are approved for use with its SPAs. The 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0
SPA supports the following types of optical transceiver modules:
Use a single-mode optical fiber that has a modal-field diameter of 8.7 ±0.5 microns. (Nominal diameter is
approximately 10/125 microns.)
Use single-mode (for intermediate or long-reach configurations) or multimode optical fiber cable to connect
your router to a network or to connect two 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA -equipped routers back to
back.
Long-range SFP optical transceiver modules (for long-reach configurations) cannot be connected back-to-back
without using an attenuator between the two of them.
1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA Overview
The following sections describe the 1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA:
1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA LEDs
The 1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA has two types of LEDs: an A/L LED for the port and a STATUS
LED, as shown in the following figure.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide

Page 29
Overview: Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Shared Port Adapters
The framer processes incoming and outgoing SONET or SDH frames. The framer operates at OC-48/STM-16
line rates (2.488 Gbps).
Packet data is transported with a user-configured encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP]) and
is mapped into the STS-48/STM-16 frame. HDLC and Frame-Relay are also supported. The main operational
mode of the framer is OC-48, where each one of the 48 Paths can carry a DS3 and each DS3 can carry 28
DS1s.

Overview: Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Shared Port Adapters
1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA Cables and Connectors
The 1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA interface is compliant with RFC 1619, PPP over SONET/SDH,
and RFC 1662, PPP in HDLC-like Framing. The 1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA also provides
support for SNMP v1 agent (RFC 1155–1157), and Management Information Base (MIB) II (RFC 1213).
1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA Cables and Connectors
The 1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver
module installed in the port for SONET and SDH single-mode and multimode optical fiber connection (see
the following figure).
Figure 9: SFP Optics Module
The SFP optical transceiver modules used with the 1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA provide the
following optical fiber options:
• Multimode—2.488-Gbps, OC-48/STM-16 optical fiber (SONET STS-48 or SDH STM-16)
Use a multimode optical fiber that has a core/cladding diameter of 62.5/125 microns.
• Single-mode—2.488-Gbps, OC-48/STM-16 optical fiber (SONET STS-48 or SDH STM-16)
Use a single-mode optical fiber that has a modal-field diameter of 8.7 ±0.5 microns. (Nominal diameter is
approximately 10/125 microns.)
For single-mode and multimode optical fiber connections, you can use either a duplex LC-type cable (see the
figure below) or two simplex LC-type cables, one for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).
Use single-mode (for intermediate- or long-reach configurations) or multimode optical fiber cable to connect
your router to a network or to connect two 1-Port Channelized STM-16/OC-48 SPA-equipped routers back
to back.

4-Port OC-3 STM-1/OC-12 STM-4 POS SPA Overview
The 4-Port OC-3 STM-1/OC-12 STM-4 POS SPA is a single-height OC-12 SPA that can be installed into
one SIP subslot. The OC-12 SPA with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver modules provides
SONET and SDH network connectivity. Since any given channel can be configured as either OC-3 or OC-12,
so the per-port bandwidth can be either 155.52 Mbps or 622.08 Mbps respectively, depending on the type of
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module installed.
Note
When SFP modules are replaced, the SPA interface retains any previously-defined configurations. This
includes settings for IP address, clock source, loopback, CRC, and POS flags.
The 4-Port OC-3 STM-1/OC-12 STM-4 POS SPA is a half rate SPA.
For more information about SPA bandwidth, see the “Bandwidth Oversubscription” topic in this chapter.
For more information about SPAs and their compatibility with SIPs and modular optics, see the “SIP and

T1 lines from individual subscribers are attached to the RJ-45 connectors on the front of the 24-port patch
panel. Each RJ-45 port accommodates an individual T1 subscriber line.
Pins 1 and 2 and 4 and 5 of the RJ-45 connectors are used for the 24-port CEoP SPA’s Transmit (TX) and
Receive (RX) signals. Depending on how the cable is installed between the SPA and its patch panel (rear),

Patch Panel Cabling
If you are connecting two 24-Port Channelized T1/E1/J1 CEoP SPAs to each other, you must cable both the
SPA’s patch panels together using a T1 crossover cable or a T1 straight through cable. The type of cable you
use (crossover or straight through) depends on how the CEoP SPAs are cabled to their patch panels:
• If both the CEoP SPAs are connected to their patch panels in the same manner (TX to Transmit and RX
to Receive, or TX to Receive and RX to Transmit), use a T1 crossover cable to connect the patch panels
to each other.
• If both the CEoP SPAs are connected to their patch panels in a different configuration (TX to Transmit
and RX to Receive on one SPA, and TX to Receive and RX to Transmit on the other SPA), use a T1
straight through cable (standard RJ-45 patch cable) between the patch panels.

Electromagnetic compatibility regulatory statements are listed in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety
Information for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers publication (Document Number
OL-17505-01). Review these before installing, configuring, or maintaining your SIP or SPA.
Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off
switch for the room in which you are working.
• Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe;
carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension
cables, and missing safety grounds.
Telephone Wiring Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to
other network cabling:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected
at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Laser/LED Safety
The single-mode transmitter in the module uses a small laser to transmit the light signal to the network ring.
Keep the transmit port covered whenever a cable is not connected to it. Although multimode transceivers
typically use LEDs for transmission, it is good practice to keep open ports covered and avoid staring into open
ports or apertures. The single-mode aperture port contains a laser warning label, as shown in the figure below.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly
handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is an integral
component of the line card. Cisco recommends using an ESD-preventive strap whenever you are handling
network equipment or one of its components.
The following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Connect
the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD connection socket on the router or to bare metal on
the chassis.
• Handle SIPs by the captive installation screws, the provided handle, ejector levers, or the line card metal
carrier only; avoid touching the board or connector pins.
• Place removed SIPs board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If you plan to
return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
• Avoid contact between the SIPs and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the board from ESD voltages
on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Caution
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD strap. The measurement should be between 1
and 10 megohms.
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and parts to remove and install SIPs:
• Flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver
