Serial Interface Spec ifications
NoteAlthough the Cisco 7304 PC I Port A dapt er Car rie r Card i n the Cisco 7304 ro ut er, Catalyst RSM/VI P2,
Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, and VIP support online insertion and removal (OIR), individual
port adapters do not. To replace port adap ters, y ou must first rem ove the C isco 73 04 PCI Port Ada pter
Carrier Card in the Cisco 7304 router, the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module,
or VIP from the chassis and then replace port adapters as required.
Cisco 7 100 series , Cisco 7200 series, Cisco uBR7200 ser ies rout ers, Cisco 7301 route rs, and
Cisco 7401ASR routers support online insertion and removal of all port adapter types.
The PA-8T-232 supports non return to zero (NRZ) and non return to zero inverted (NRZI) signaling, and
both 16-bit and 32-bit cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs). The default configuration is for NRZ signaling
and 16-bit CRC. You can change the default settings with software commands. (For more information,
see the “Configu ring the EIA /TI A-23 2 I nte rfaces ” section on page 5-2.)
There is no default mode or clock rate set on serial ports, although an internal clock signal is present on
all ports for DCE support. The interna l clock also a llows you to perform local loo pback te sts withou t
having to terminate the port or connect a cable. To use the port as a DCE interface, you must set the
clock rate and connect a DCE compact serial cable. To use the port as a DTE interface, you need only
connect a DTE compact serial cable to the port. Because the serial adapter cables determine the mode
and interface type, the PA-8T-232 interface becomes a DTE when you connect a DTE cable to it.
Chapter 1 Overview
If you connect a DTE cable to a port with a clock rate set, the DTE ignores the clock rate and uses the
external clock signal that is se nt from the re mote DCE. For a brie f descript ion of the clock rate
command, see the “Configur i n g Timing (Clock) Signals” section on page 5-10. For complete command
descriptions and instructions, r efer to th e p ublic ation s liste d in th e “Related Docu m entation” section on
page viii.
Serial Interface Specifications
Serial signals can travel a limited distance at any given bit rate; generally, the slower the bit rate, the
greater the di stance . All ser ial s ig nals a re su bjec t t o dista nc e lim its beyon d wh ich a signa l d egrades
significantly or is completely lost. Table 1-1 lists recomme nded tra nsmission spee ds and dist ances for
EIA/TIA-232 seria l i nter faces. T he rec om mend ed maxi mum ra te for EI A/T IA-2 32 is 6 4 kbps.

NoteEIA/TIA-232 supports 64 kbps rates without any problems; however, we do not recommend you exceed
the listed specifications for transmission speed versus distance. Do so at your own risk.
The PA-8T-232 has one row of eight status LEDs (o ne for eac h port) and one enab led (EN ) LED. (S ee
Figure 1-2 .) The green- and amber-colored LED for each port indicates port status.

After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the port adapter is enabled for
operation.
The following conditions must be met before the PA-8T-232 is enabled:
• Port adapter is correctly connected to the backplane or midplane and receiving power.
• Valid system software image for the port adapter has been downloaded successfully.
• System recognizes the port ada pter or PA-8T-232-e quippe d Catalyst RSM/VIP2 , Catal yst 6000
family FlexWAN module , VIP, or Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card.
If any of the abo ve cond itions are not met, or if the init ialization f ails for othe r reasons, the enabled LED
does not go on.

Instead, you must connect an additional, intermediate adapter cable—with standard EIA/TIA-232
DB-25 connectors at both ends—from the network end of C AB -OCT-232-MT= to the stan da rd
EIA/TIA-232 DB-25 con necto r (the DCE inte rface) on th e NEC - NEXT STAR 1E model C4969

PA-8T-232 Synchronous Serial Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
This section desc ribe s how to i dent ify int erfac e a ddresse s for the PA-8T- 232 in supp orte d platf orm s.
Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on the PA-8T-232 i nstalled in a router maintain the same address regardless of whether other
port adapters are installed or removed. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the
first number in the interface address changes to reflect the new port adapter slot number.
Interfaces on a PA-8T-232 installed in a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module or a VIP maintain the
same address regardless of whether other interface processors are installed or removed. Howev er, when
you move a VIP to a different slot, the interface processor slot number changes to reflect the new
interface processor slot.
NoteInterface ports are nu mbered fr om left to right star ting wi th 0.

The interface addresses of the i nterfaces on the PA-8T-232 in port adap ter slot 1 are 1/0 through 1/7
(port adapter slot 1 and interfaces 0 through 7). If the PA-8T-232 was in por t adapt er slo t 4, these same
interfaces would be numbered 4/0 throu gh 4/7 (port ada pter slot 4 and int erfaces 0 throu gh 7).
In Cisco uBR7200 se ries rout ers, port adapter slot s are n um bere d slo t 1 and slo t 2 for the
Cisco uBR72 46 a nd Cisc o uBR7246VXR and slot 1 for the Cisco uBR7223. (Slot 0 is always rese rved
for the Fast Et hern et po rt on the I/ O contr oller —if present.) The in di vidual inte rf aces al ways beg in with
0. The number of additional interfaces depends on the number of interface ports on a port adapter.
The interface addresses of the interfaces on a PA-8T-232 in port adapter slot 2 are 2/0 and 2/1
(port adapter slot 2 and interfaces 0 and 1). I f th e PA-8T- 232 wa s in po rt a dapt er sl ot 1, these s ame

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules
comprise printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to
protect the board from ES D, use a preventive antistatic strap duri ng handling .
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD w ris t o r ank l e st rap a nd ensu re tha t i t m akes go od skin co nta ct.
• Connect the equipmen t end of the strap t o an unfinished chassis surface .
• When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental
removal, provide proper grou ndi ng f or the syste m, and he lp to e nsu re t ha t bus co nnec tors ar e
properly seated.
• When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
• Handle carriers by available handl es or e dg es on ly ; avoid touchi ng the pri nted ci rcui t b oar ds or
connectors.
FCC Class A Compliance
• Place a removed board component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container.
If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding
container.
• Avoid contact between t h e pri n ted cir cuit boa rd s and c lothi ng. T he wr ist stra p o nly pro tec ts
components from ESD voltages on the body ; ESD voltages on clo thing can still cause dam age.
• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
CautionFor safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 m egohms (M oh m).
FCC Class A Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. Th ese l imi ts ar e de signe d to pr ovide rea son ab le pr otec tion a gainst harm ful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate ra dio-fre quency en ergy and, if not inst alle d and used in accord ance 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 co rr ect the i n terf er en ce at th ei r own expens e.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference
stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equ ipme nt or on e of its per iphe ral devices. If the equi pm ent

Removing and Installing Port Adapters
This chapter describes how to remove the Cisco PA-8T-232 port ad apte r from suppor ted plat forms and
also how to install a new or replacement port adapter. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Handling Port Adapter s, page 3-1
• Online Insertio n and R em oval, pag e 3- 2
• Warnings and Cautions, page 3-3
• Port Adapter Removal and Installation, page 3-4
Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) damage.
NoteWhen a port adapter s lo t is no t i n u se, a blank port ad apter m ust fill the emp ty s lo t to allow the router or
switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper
airflow across the port adapters. If you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you
must first remove the blank port adapter.
CautionWhen powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.
Handling Port Adapters
CautionAlways handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter’s
components or connecto r pins. (See Figu re 3-1 on page 3-2.)

CautionTo prevent system problems, do not remove port adapters from the Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier
Card, VIP, Catalyst RSM/VIP2, or Catalyst 6000 fam ily FlexWAN module motherboard or attempt t o
install other port adapters on the motherboard when the system is operating. To install or replace port
adapters, first remove the Ci sco 7304 PCI Port Ada pte r Carrie r Card, VI P, Catalyst RSM/VIP2, or
Catalyst 6000 family Fl exWAN module from its interface proc esso r sl ot.
It is wise to gracefully shut down the system before removing a port adapter that has active traffic
moving through it. Removing a module while traffic is flowing through the ports can cau se system
disruption. Once t he m od ul e is inse rte d, t he p ort s ca n be b rou ght ba ck up.
NoteAs you disengag e the mo dule f rom t h e rout er or sw it ch , onl ine in ser tio n an d r em oval (OIR)
administratively shuts down all active interfaces in the module.
OIR allows you to install and replace modules while the router is operating; you do not need to notify
the software or shut down the system power, although you should not run traffic through the module you
are removing while it is being removed. OIR is a method that is seamless to end users on the network,
maintains all rout ing info rmat ion, and pr es erves se ssions.
The following is a functional des cript ion of OIR for bac kgroun d informa tion only; for specific
procedures for insta lling and repl acin g a module in a supp orted pl atform , refer t o the “P o rt A da pte r

Chapter 3 Removing and Installing Port Adapters
Each module has a bus connector that connects it to the router. The connector has a set of tiered pins in
three lengths that send specific signals to the system as they make contact with the module. The system
assesses the signals it receiv es and the ord er in which it rece ives them to determine if a module is being
removed from or introduced to the system .
From these signals, the system determines whether to reinitialize a new interface or to shut down a
disconnected interface.
Specifically, when you insert a modu le, th e l onge st pin s m ake cont act wit h t he m odul e first, and t he
shortest pins make contact last. The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it receives
them.
When you remove or insert a mod ule , the pi ns send sign als t o n otify th e s ystem of ch an ges. T he rout er
then performs the f ollowing p roce dur e:
1. Rapi dly scans the system for configurat ion change s.
2. In itia lize s newly in ser ted port ada pte rs or admi nist rat ively shuts down any vacant inte rfaces .
3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the module back to their previously installed state.
Any newly inserted interface is put in the administratively shutdown state, as if it was present (but
not configured) at boot time. If a similar module type is reinserted into a slot, its ports are configured
and brought online up to the por t count of the original ly install ed module of th at type.
Warnings and Cautions
NoteBefore you begin installation, read Chapte r 2, “Preparing for Installation,” for a list of parts and tools
required for installation.
Warnings and Cautions
Observe the following warnings and cautions when installing or removing port adapters.
CautionDo not slide a port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying
to do so will disrupt normal operation of the router or switch.
NoteIf a port adapter lever or other retaining mechanism does not move to the locked position, the port
adapter is not completely seat ed in th e m idpla ne. Carefully pull the port ad apter h alf w ay o ut of th e sl ot,
reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever to the locked position.
CautionTo prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to
ensure that the ed ge connector at th e rear of the port ad ap te r mates with the conn ec tio n at the rear of t he
port adapter slot, make certain that the carrier is positioned correctly, as shown in the cutaway in the
following illustrations.

following sections:
• Connecting a Compact Serial Cable, page 4-1
• Determining the Port Mode , page 4-3
Connecting a Compact Serial Cable
On a single PA-8T - 232, y ou can u se only one EIA /TIA-23 2 compac t seria l cable , which is a v ailabl e only
from Cisco Systems; it is not available fr om outs ide co mmer cia l cabl e vendors .
CautionAttach only an EIA/TIA-232 compact serial cable to the PA-8T-232 installed in your router. Attaching
a compact serial cabl e of anothe r interfac e type to the port adap ter coul d damage your route r or the
hardware at the network end of the cable.
CHAPTER

OL-3562-03
To connect a compact serial cable to a PA-8T-232, follow these steps:
Step 1Attach the compact serial cable plug directly to the receptacle on the PA-8T-232, and tighten the
strain-relief s crews. (Se e Figu re 4-1 on page 4-2.)
NotePort adapters have a handle a ttac hed , but this ha ndle is no t shown to a llow a ful l vi ew of de tail
on each port adapter’s faceplate.
When attaching the cable receptacle on the PA-8T-232, use the cable-management bracket that
shipped with your router for extra strain relief.

This completes the procedure for attaching a compact serial cable to the PA-8T-232.
If you need to replace a compact serial cable with a cable of a different mode (DTE or DCE), proceed
to the “Determining the Port Mode” section on page 4-3; otherwise proceed to Chapter 5, “Configuring
the PA-8T-232 Interfaces.”

Chapter 4 Atta ching a Compact Serial Cable
Determining the Port Mode
The compact serial cable connected to each port determines the mode of the ports (the electrical interface
type is always EIA/TIA-232). Th e default mode of the ports is DCE , which allows you to perf orm a
loopback test on any port without having to attach a port adapter cable. For info rmati on relate d to the
loopback command, see th e “Using loopback C omm a nds” section on page 5-32. Although DC E is the
default, there is no default clock rate set on the interfaces . On a Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series,
Cisco u BR7200 seri es router, Cisco 7301 ro uters, or Cisc o 7401ASR router, when there is no cabl e
attached to a port, the sof tw are a ctu ally identifies the port a s ca bl e type: None present rather than either
a DTE or a DCE interface. On a Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Ca rrier Card, VIP, Catalyst RSM/VIP2,
or Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, when there is no cable attached to a port, the software
actually identifies the port as Universal (cable unattached) rather than either a DTE or a DCE interface.
CautionAttach only an EIA/TIA-232 compact serial cable to the PA-8T-232 installed in your router. Attaching
a compact serial cabl e of anothe r interfac e type to the port adap ter coul d damage your route r or the
hardware at the network end of the cable.

Following is an example of the show controllers cbus command that sho ws a VIP interfa ce port (2/1/0 )
that has a DTE cable attached:
To change the mode of a port online, use software commands to shut down the interface, replace the
compact serial cable, restart the interface, and (if necessary) reconfigure the port for the new interface.
At system startup or restart, the system polls the interfaces and determines the electrical interface type
of each port (according to the type of compact serial cable attached). However, the system does not
necessarily repoll an interface when you change the adapter cable online. To ensure that the system
recognizes the new interface type, shut down and re enable the interface after changing the cable.
If you are replacing a cable with a cable that has the same mode, these steps are not necessary (simply
replace the cable wit hout inte rrupti ng operat ion).

These steps prompt the system to poll the interface and recognize the new interface immediately.
When you configure a port for a DCE interface for the first time, or when you set up a loopback test, you
must set the clock ra te for the po rt. When you con nect a DCE cable to a port, th e interfa ce rema ins do wn
and does not function until you set a clock rate (regardless of the DCE mode default).
If you are changing th e mode of th e interfac e from DC E to DTE, y ou do not nee d to change the clock
rate for the port. After you replace the DCE cable with a DTE cable, and the system recognizes the
interface as a DTE, it uses the external clock signal from the remote DCE device and ignores the internal
clock signal that the DCE interface normally uses. Therefore, when you configure the clock rate on a
port for either a DCE interface or loopback, you can leave the clock rate configured and still use that
port as a DTE interface.
This completes the procedure for replacing a PA-8T-232 compact serial cable on the PA-8T-232.
Proceed to Chapter 5, “Configuring the PA-8T-232 Interfaces.”

Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
CHAPTER
5
You modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called the EXEC
(also called enable mode). You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter with
the enable command before you can use the configure command to conf i gur e a new interface or change
the existing configuration of an interface . The syste m prompts you for a password if one has been set.
The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) in stead of an angle bracke t (>).
At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:
Step 1At the user-level EXEC prompt, ent er the enab le com ma nd . The EXEC pr om pts y ou for a
privileged-level password as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Step 2Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.
When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):

To configure the new interfaces, proceed to the “Configuring the EIA/TIA-232 Interfaces” section on
page 5 -2.

Configuring the EIA/TIA-232 Interfaces
After you verify tha t th e n ew PA-8T-232 is ins tal led c orr ectl y (the ena ble d LE D goe s on) , use the
privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Have the following information
available:
• Protocols you plan to route on each new interface
• IP addresses, if you plan to configure the in terfaces for IP routing
• Bridging protocols you plan to use
• Clock timing source you plan to use for each new interface and clock speeds for exter nal timing
If you installed a new P A-8T-232 or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you
must enter configuration mode to configure the new interfaces. If you replaced a PA-8T-232 that was
previously configured, the system recognizes the new interfaces and brings each of them up in their
existing configuration.
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring interfaces on a
PA-8T-232, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the “Related Documentation”
section on page viii .
Chapter5 Configuring the PA-8T-232 Interfaces
You execute co nfiguration co mman ds from th e privileged level of the EXEC comm and int erpret er,
which usually requ ires pa ssword ac cess. C ont act you r sy stem adm i nistra tor, if necessa ry, to obtain
password access. (See the “Using the EXEC Command Interpreter” section on page 5-1 for an
explanation of the privileged level of the EXEC.)
This section conta ins th e fo llowing su bse ctions :
• Shutting Down an Interface, page 5-2
• Performing a Basic C onfiguratio n, page 5- 8
• Configuring Timing (Clock) Signals, page 5- 10
• Configuring NRZI Format, page 5-13
• Configuring Cyclic Redu nda ncy C heck s, page 5- 14
Shutting Down an Interface
Before you re move an inter f ace that you will n ot replace, rep lace a compact ser ial cable, or replace port
adapters, use the shutdown command to shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when
you reinstall the new or reconfigured interface processor. When you shut down an interface, it is
designated administratively down in the show command displays .
Follow these steps to shut down an interface:
Step 1Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpre ter (also c alle d en ab le m ode). ( See th e “Using
the EXEC Command Interp reter ” sect ion on page 5-1 for instruc ti ons.)

Step 2At the privileged-level prompt, ente r c onfigurat ion m ode and sp ec ify tha t t he c on sol e t ermi na l is th e
source of the configuratio n su bcomm a nds, a s fol lows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 3Shut down interfaces by entering the interface serial subcomma nd (f ollowed by the int erfa ce a dd ress
of the interface) and then enter the shutdown command. Table 5-1 shows the command syntax.

Configuring Timing (Clock) Signals
Chapter5 Configuring the PA-8T-232 Interfaces
All EIA/TIA-232 inter faces suppor t both DTE an d DCE mod e, depend ing on the mode of the compa ct
serial cable attached to the port. To use a port as a DTE interface, you need only con nect a DTE compact
serial cable to th e po r t. W h en th e sy st em detects the DTE mode cab le, it au to mat i ca lly uses the externa l
timing signal. To use a port in D CE m ode, you m ust c on nect a D CE co mpac t se ria l c ab le an d set th e
clock speed with the clock rate configuration command. You must also set the clock rate to perform a
loopback test. This sec tion descr ibes how to set the clock rat e on a DCE port and, if ne cessary, how to
invert the clock to correct a phase shift between the data and clock signals. Table 5-4 summarizes some
of the commands used to conf igure the clock r ate. See the specifi c sections that f ollo w for furthe r details.

Setting the Clock Rate
The default operation on a PA-8T-232 DCE interface is for the DCE device to generate its own clock
signal (TxC) and send it to th e remote DT E. Th e remot e DTE de v ice r eturns the clock sign al to the DCE
(the PA-8T-232). Set the clock rate of an interface using the clock rate subcommand, which specifies
the clock rate a s a bits -per-second value.
Before you can assign a cloc k rate, yo u must use the interface serial command (followed by the
interface address of t he interf ace) to selec t the interf ace t o which y ou want to assign the clo ck rate v alue.
In the following example, the clock rate is specified as 72 kbps:
Router(config-if)# clock rate 72000
The preceding comm and example applie s to all systems in wh ich the PA-8T-232 is support ed. Use the
no clock rate command to remove the clock rate.
Following are the standard clock rates:
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 , 1920 0 38400 , 560 00, 640 00 ,
When you are done, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit
to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt. Then write the new
configuration to NVRAM using the copy running-config startup-config command.

Inverting the Clock Signal
Systems that use long cables or cables that are not transmitting the TxC (clock) signal might ex perience
high error rates when operating at the higher transmission speeds. If a PA-8T-232 DCE port is reporting
a high number of error packets, a phase shift might be the problem: inverting the clock might correct this
phase shift.
When the EIA/TIA-232 interface is a DTE, the invert-txc command inverts the TxC signal the DTE
receives from the remote DCE. When the EIA/TIA-232 interface is a DCE, the invert-txc command
inverts the clock signal to the remote DTE port. Use the no invert-txc command to change the clo ck
signal back to its original phase.
Inverting the Data Signal
If you use an EIA/TIA-2 32 interface o n the PA-8T -232 port adap ter to dri ve a dedi cated T1 line that do es
not have B8ZS encoding—a method to avoid 15 zeros—you must invert the data stream (both TXD and
RXD) either in the connecting CSU/DSU or on the interface . To invert the data stream coming out of the
P A-8T-232, use the invert data command. By in v erting the HDLC data stream, the HDLC zero insertion
algorithm becomes a ones insertion algorithm that satisfies the T1 requirements.
Configuring the EIA/TIA-232 Interfaces
NoteInvert data only on the PA-8T-232 interface or on the CSU/DSU; inverting both canc el out both d ata
inversions.

All EIA/TIA-232 interfaces on the PA-8T-232 support non return-to-zero (NRZ) and non return-to-zero
inverted (NRZI) formats. Both formats use two different voltage levels for transmission. NRZ signals
maintain constant voltage levels with no signal transitions—no return to a zero voltage level—during a

but interprets the absence of data—a space—at the beginning of a bit int erval as a signa l tr ansi tio n an d
the presence of da ta—a mark—as no signal transition. NRZI uses relational encoding to in terpret signals
rather than determining absolute values.
NRZ format—the factory default on all interfaces—is more common . NRZI format is commonl y used
with EIA/TIA-232 c onn ect ions in IBM e nvironments.
Enable NRZI encoding on any interface using the nrzi-encoding [mark] command, where no argument
after the command is interpreted as a signal transition, and mark is interpreted as no signal transition.
Before you can e nabl e N RZ I en co di ng, y ou mu st use the i nterf ace ser ial comma nd ( followed by the
interface address of the interface) to select the interface on which you want to enable NRZI encoding.
In the example that follows, NRZI encoding with a signal transition— no argument—is specified:

CRC is an error-checking technique that uses a calculated numeric value to detect errors in transmitted
data. All interfaces use a 16-bit CRC (CRC-CITT) by def ault b ut also support a 32-bit CRC. The send er
of a data frame calculates t he fra me chec k sequen ce ( F CS). Bef ore it s ends a frame, the sender appends

from the sender. If there is a difference between the two calculations, the receiver assumes that a
transmission error occurred and sends a request to the sender to resend the frame.
Enable 32-bit CRC u s ing the crc 32 co mman d. Befo re you can en able 32-bit CRC , you must use the
interface seri a l command (followed by the interface address of the interface) to select the interface on
which you want to enable 32-bit CRC. This command functions in the same way on all supported
platforms.
In the example that follows, 32-bit CRC is specified:

Step 1Enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration
subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 2Specify the interface to configure for controlled-carrier mode using the interface serial subc ommand
(followed by the interface address of the interface) and then enter the half-duplex controlled-carrier
subcommand.
The following example is for the first interface of the port adapter in port adapter slot 1:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0
