to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was pr obabl y caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Interface Specifications, page 1-2

Port Adapter Overview
The P A-4E1G, sho wn in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2, provides up to four E1 synchronous serial interfaces,
which are compatible with and specified by G.703/G.704. The PA-4E1G network interfaces provide a
connection between standard serial interfaces such as V.35 to telephone lines or Post, Telephone, and
Telegraph (PTT) networks. Each PA-4E1G interface operates in full-duplex mode at E1 (2.048 Mbps)
speed.
The PA-4E1G interfaces do not operate in the data terminal equipment (DTE) and data communications
equipment (DCE) modes that are typical of data communications interfaces. The PA-4E1G interfaces
operate with either a line-recovered or an internal clock signal. The def ault is fo r a line clock si gnal th at
the interface recovers from the received data stream. The interface can also operate with an internal clock
signal. The PA-4E1G generates the internal clock signal; the interface does not use the motherboard or
system clock.
The PA-4E 1G provides the following features and capabilities:
• Provides framed and unframed service access, E1 (2.048 Mbps) line speeds over unbalanced 75-ohm
or balanced 120-ohm cable, with 15-pin, D-shell (DB-15) receptacles on the port adapter
• Operates over E1 leased-line services, and provides ITU-T G.703 with high-density bipolar of order
3 (HDB3) line encoding
• Operates with either an external or internal clock signal, and runs at wire speed
• Provides for local and remote loopback testing services
• Allows you to fractionalize a data stream into a single channel from 64 kilobits per second (kbps)
to 1984 kbps
• Provides G.704 framing for n x 64-kbps service support (where n = 1 to 31)
• Support for 4-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC4) to provide and ensure data integrity
• Support for point-to-point connections to supported platforms
• Eliminates the need for a separate, external data termination unit that is typically used to convert
standard serial interfaces, such as V.35, to E1-G.703/G.704
NotePA-4E 1Gs are available as spare parts PA-4E1G-120(=) and PA-4E1G-75(=).
Interface Specifications
Each PA-4E1G interface is available in either balanced (120-ohm) or unbalanced (75-ohm) mode; a
unique port adapter supports each type. Neither the balanced and unbalanced modes nor the balanced
and unbalanced cables are interchangeable; you cannot configure a balanced port to support an
unbalanced line, nor can you attach an interface cable intended for a balanced line to an unbalanced port.
Balanced interfaces typically use three conductors and three signal states: high, low, and ground. The
high and low signals mirror each other. Unbalanced interfaces use only two signals: signal and ground.
You can discover the mode of each interface by examining the agency approval label on each port
adapter, or by using the show controller cbus command.
Following is an example of discovering whether the PA-4E1G is in balanced or unbalanced mode:

The PA-4E1G interface is divided into 32 time slots or frames. (See Figure 1-3.)

Interface Specifications

H2402
Each of the 32 time slots is an 8-bit frame that transmits data at 64 kbps. Each of these time slots can be
configured to carry data or to remain empty. (The P A-4E1G inserts an idle pattern i nto empty time slots.)
Time slot 0, or the first 8 bits, is reserved as overhead. The remaining 248 bits (31 frames with 8 bits
each) are designated time slots 1 through 31. Time slot 16 is also designated as a framing slot when usi ng
framed mode. When you use framed mode (G.704), you can configure time slot 16 to carry data and
operate as any of the other slots; therefore, in framed mode time slot 0 must be designated as a framing
signal; time slot 16 can be configured for either data or framing.
With framed mode (G.704) you can specify a bandwidth for the interface by designating 31 of the time
slots for data and reserving time slot 0 for framing (timing). When you use framed mode, you must
designate start and stop time slots; the slots within the start and stop boundaries are used for data, and
the remaining slots are left idle. For example, on an interface with framing set on time slots 1 through
8, the interface carries data within the specif ied 8 frames, and frames 9 through 31 remain idle. Because
each time slot transmits at 64 kbps, the interface operates at 512 kbps (8 frames x 64 kbps = 512 kbps).
By configuring 16 of the time slots to carry data and the other 16 to remain empty, you can essentially
configure the interface for 1.024 Mbps (by leaving half the time slots empty and unable to carry data).
The system inserts an idle pattern into unused time slots to identify them as overhead (unused for data).
Only one contiguous time slot range can be used. In Private A utomatic Branch Exchange (PABX)
systems, time slot 16 is always left unused. By default, time slot 16 is not enabled for data in the
PA-4E1G interface. The command ts16 overrides the default and enables time slot 16 to carry data.
Unframed mode (G.703) uses all 32 time slots for data. None of the 32 time slots are used for framing
signals. This allows each of the 32 time slots to transmit at 64 kbps; therefore, 32 time slots x 64 kbps =
2.048 Mbps. While unframed mode is the default, you can also specify unframed mode with the
command timeslot 0-0, which specifies time slot 0 as the start slot with no stop (ending) time slot;
therefore, all slots are used for data. The no timeslot command restores the default of unframed mode.
OL-3065-05
Framed mode supports a 4-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC4), which you enable with a software
command. The default is for no CRC.
NoteThe E1-G.703/G.704 interface on PA-4E1G is compliant with BABT 221.
For more information about CRC4 with a PA-4E1G on a VIP , Cisco 7100 series router, Cisco 7200 series
router, or Cisco uBR7200 series router, refer to Chapter 4, “Configuring the PA-4E1G.”

Chapter 1 Overview
NoteYou must connect the correct type of interface cable for the port to operate.
Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts
The port adapter end of all E1-G.703/G.704 adapter cables is a DB-15 connector. At the network end,
the adapter cable for unbalanced (75-ohm) connections uses a BNC connector. The adapter cables for
balanced (120-ohm) connections u se DB-15, tw inaxial, or RJ-45 connections to accommodate
connection standards in different countries.
Warning
It is a requirement of the statutory approval of the E1-G.703/G.704 interface that the jackscrews of the
connector backshell are securely screwed down while the portadapter is operating.
Cables for balanced and unbalanced mode are available with the following types of network-end
connectors:
• Unbalanced (75-ohm) coaxial cables with BNC connectors at the network end, which are used
primarily for connection in the United Kingdom. (See Figure 1-5.)
