Overview

This chapter describes the Cisco PA-MC-T3-EC port adapter and contains the following sections:

• Port Adapter Overview, page 1-1

• Channelized T3 Overview, page 1-2

• Unchannelized T3 Overview, page 1-3

• T3 Specifications, page 1-3

• LEDs, page 1-4

• Port Adapter Slot Locations, page 1-4

• Identifying Interface Addresses, page 1-6

Port Adapter Overview

The PA-MC-2T3-EC is a single-width port adapter that provides two T3 interface connections using BNC connectors. (See Figure 1-2.) The PA-MC-T3-EC provides one T

3 interface connection using BNC

connectors. (See Figure 1-1.) Hereafter, both versions of this port adapt

er will be referred to as the

PA-MC-TE-EC. A channelized T3 provides 28 T1 lines multiplexed into the T3.

The PA-MC-T3-EC supports the following hardw

are accelerated features.

• Multilink PPP (MLPPP)

• Multilink Frame Relay (FRF.16)

• Frame Relay Fragmentation (FRF.12)

For more information on the features, and restrictions, see Chapte

r 5, “Configuring the Channelized

Mode.”

Chapter 1 Overview

Channelized T3 Overview

Figure 1-2 PA-MC-2T3-EC—Front Panel

The PA-MC-T3-EC has the following features and physical characteristics:

• The PA-MC-T3-EC supports channelized operations.

• The PA-MC-T3-EC transmits and receives data bidirectionally at the T3 rate of 44.736 Mbps.

• The PA-MC-T3-EC conforms to relevant specifications for Digital Signal Level 3 (DS3) circuits.

• The T3 connection, provided by two female BNC connectors for transmit (TX) and receive (RX),

requires 734A coaxial cable that has an impedance of 75 ohms.

• The PA-MC-T3-EC supports RFC 1406 and RFC 1407 (CISCO-RFC-1407-CAPABILITY.my). For

RFC 1406, Cisco supports all tables except the FarEnd table. For RFC 1407, Cisco does not support FarEnd or Fractional tables. (For information on accessing Cisco MIB files, refer to the Cisco MIB User Quick Reference publication.)

• PA-MC-T3-EC microcode is loaded at initialization and is bundled into Cisco IOS software.

Note The PA-MC-T3-EC does not support E1 into channelized T3.

Channelized T3 Overview

In the channelized mode of operation, a PA-MC-T3-EC T3 link is channelized into 28 DS1 data lines in an industry standard multiplexing format.

Each of the T1 lines contains 24 time

slots of 64 or 56 kbps each. The T1 lines can support one or more user data channels which appear to the system as serial interfaces. Each serial interface is assigned one or more of the time slots giving the serial interface a bandwidth of n x 56 kbps or n x 64 kbps, where n is the number of time slots assigned. Any unused time slots of the T1 are filled with an idle channel pattern.

The following restrictions apply: A time slot can only be used by one serial interface. A serial interface canno

t use time slots from more than one T1 line. Each T3 line can have a maximum of 128 serial

interfaces. Unused serial interfaces on one T3 cannot be used by the other T3 line.

The PA-MC-T3-EC supports Cisco High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), Frame Relay, PPP, and Switched Multime

gabit Data Service (SMDS) Data Exchange Interface (DXI) encapsulations over each

serial interface.

Note T1 lines on the PA-MC-T3-EC are numbered 1–28, rather than the more traditional zero-based scheme

(0–27) used with other Cisco products. This is to ensure consistency with telco numbering schemes for T1 lines within channelized T3 equipment.

Chapter 1 Overview

Unchannelized T3 Overview

Note The PA-MC-T3-EC does not support the aggregation of multiple T1 lines (called inverse multiplexing

or bonding) in hardware for higher bandwidth data rates. MLPPP may be used for this purpose in software.

The T3 section of the PA-MC-T3-EC supports the maintenance data link (MDL) channel when using c-bit parity framing as well as local and network loopbacks. The T1 section of the PA-MC-T3-EC supports facilities data link (FDL) in Extended Superframe (ESF) framing, as well as various loopbacks. Bit error rate (BER) testing is supported on each of the T1 lines, although a test may not be active on more than one T1 line at a time. BER testing may be done over a framed or unframed T1 signal.

Unchannelized T3 Overview

In the unchannelized mode of operation, a T3 link provides a single high speed user data channel, rather than being multiplexed into 28 T1 lines. The data channel appears to the system as a serial interface that may be configured to use the full T3 bandwidth or a smaller portion of the T3 bandwidth. No industry standard exists for subdividing the T3 bandwidth, but the PA-MC-T3-EC is compatible with the proprietary formats of five vendors of data service units (DSUs), when used at the far end of the T3 link.

In unchannelized T3 mode, the T3 section sports the maintenance data link (MDL) channel when using c-bi

t parity framing as well as local and network loopbacks. Bit error rate (BER) testing is supported on the T3 link. The PA-MC-T3-EC supports Cisco High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), Frame Relay, PPP, and Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) Data Exchange Interface (DXI) encapsulations over the serial interface.

T3 Specifications

The PA-MC-T3-EC T3 port is designed to receive and transmit at the DSX-3 level while driving and receiving from 75-ohm coaxial cables (ATT 734A or equivalent quality coaxial cable). The T3 port connects directly to any equipment with DSX-3-level BNC connectors.

Table 1-1

lists the specifications that the T3 front end is designed to meet.

Note The coaxial shield side of the T3 BNC connectors is connected to the router chassis ground.

Identifying Interface Addresses

This section describes how to identify the interface addresses used for the PA-MC-T3-EC in Cisco 7200 VXR routers. Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch. The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format

port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number.

Interfaces on the P

A-MC-T3-EC installed 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.

Note Interface ports are numbered from left to right starting with 0.

Identifying Interface Addresses

Table 1-2 explains how to identify interface addresses

In Cisco 7200 VXR routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the lower left to the upper right, beginning with port adapter slot 1 and continuing through port adapter slot 2 for the Cisco 7202, slot 4 for the Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR. (Port adapt

er slot 0 is reserved for the optional Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller—if present.)

The interface addresses of the inte

rfaces on the PA-MC-T3-EC in port adapter slot 1 are 1/0 and 1/1 (port

adapter slot 1 and interfaces 0 and 1). If the P

A-MC-T3-EC was in port adapter slot 4, these same

interfaces would be numbered 4/0 and 4/1 (port adapter slot 4 and interfaces 0 and 1).

Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility

To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether modules within a system are compatible, but it does provide the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware modules or components.

Note Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.

To access Software Advisor, click Login at Cisco.com and go to Support

> Tools and Resources >

Software Advisor. You can also access the tool by pointing your browser directly to

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/

tsd_most_requested_tools.html.

Choose a product family or enter a specific product number to search for the minimum supported sof

tware release needed for your hardware.

75-Ohm In-Line Coaxial Attenuator

A 75-ohm in-line coaxial attenuator may be required to tune the signal between the PA-MC-T3-EC and the far-end equipment if the port adapter is experiencing line code violations (LCVs). LCVs occur when the far-end equipment transmit signal saturates the front-end receiver of the PA-MC-T3-EC.

Cisco offers an attenuator kit (ATTEN-KIT

-PA=) that contains five attenuators with fixed values ranging

from 3 dB to 20 dB. For more information on the attenuator kit, see the Installing the 75-Ohm In-line

Safety Guidelines

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.

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 ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.

FCC Class A Compliance

• 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 grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are 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 handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or

connectors.

• 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 the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects

components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be

between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

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. 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.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference b

y turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably 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.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is,

make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Note The Cisco PA-MC-T3-EC port adapter has been designed to meet these requirements. Modifications to

this product that are not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the various approvals and negate your authority to operate the product.

Removing and Installing Port Adapters

This chapter describes how to remove the Cisco PA-MC-T3-EC port adapter from the supported platform and also how to install a new or replacement port adapter. This chapter contains the following sections:

• Handling Port Adapters, page 3-2

• Online Insertion and Removal, page 3-2

• Warnings and Cautions, page 3-3

• Port Adapter Removal and Installation, page 3-4

• Cisco 7201 Router—Removing and Installing a Port Adapter, page 3-6

Note When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot 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.

Caution When powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.
