The PA-A6-OC3MM/SMI/SML port adapters have four status LEDs and one ENABLED LED. (See Figure 1-6.)
Figure 1-6 PA-A6 LEDs—Horizontal Orientation
The PA-A6-E3 and PA-A6-T3port adapters have three status LEDS (RF CELLS, RX CARRIER, RX ALARM). See Figure 1-4 and Figure 1-5.
After system initialization, the ENABLED LED goes on, indicating that the port adapter has been enabled for operation.
The following conditions must be met before the PA-A6 is enabled:
•The port adapter is correctly connected and is receiving power.
•A valid system software image for the port adapter has been downloaded successfully.
•The system recognizes the port adapter.
If any of these conditions are not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the ENABLED LED does not go on.
Table 1-2 lists LED colors and function.
The PA-A6 interfaces are full duplex. You must use the appropriate ATM interface cable to connect the PA-A6 with an external ATM network.
Table 1-3 summarizes the PA-A6 interface types, connectors, and cables.
Note The PA-A6 is considered an ATM end-point device.
The OC-3c port on the PA-A6 is considered a DTE device.
For SONET/SDH multimode and SONET/SDH single-mode connections, use one duplex SC connector (see Figure 1-7) or two simplex SC connectors (see Figure 1-8). These cables are not available from Cisco.
Note For information on SONET specifications for fiber-optic transmissions, understanding power budget, and assistance with approximating the power margin for multimode and single-mode transmissions, see the "Additional Information" section.
Figure 1-7 Duplex SC Connector
Figure 1-8 Simplex SC Connector
An appropriate fiber-optic cable must be used to connect the PA-A6 to the ATM switch or circuit. Single-mode and multimode cables should perform to the specifications listed in Table 1-4.
Note A single fiber link should not mix 62.5-micron and 50-micron cable.
The PA-A6-T3 and PA-A6-E3 port adapters use a 75-ohm coaxial interface cable to connect your router to an ATM T3 or E3 network. The coaxial cables (Figure 1-9) conform to EIA/TIA-612 and EIA/TIA-613 specifications.
Figure 1-9 PA-A6-T3 and PA-A6-E3 Cables
A single PA-A6-T3 or PA-A6-E3 contains one ATM T3 or E3 port that consists of two connectors: receive and transmit. The Cisco 75-ohm coaxial cable has two BNC connectors that attach to the T3 or E3 port receptacles.
The T3/E3 75-ohm coaxial cable, which comes with attached ferrite bead (see Figure 1-9), is available from Cisco in lengths of 10 feet (3.04 meters). The typical maximum distance between stations for T3 transmissions is 450 feet (137.2 meters) and for E3 transmissions is 1250 feet (381 meters).
Note To ensure compliance with electromagnetic interference (EMI) and European certification standards for emission control (EN55022/CISPR22 Class B for radiated emission levels), the TX and RX cables should be tied together along their entire length, and ferrite beads should be installed on each cable near the TX and RX connectors.
The PA-A6-T3 and PA-A6-E3 provide an interface to ATM switching fabrics for the bidirectional transmission and reception of data at rates of up to 45 Mbps (for T3) and 34 Mbps (for E3).
This section describes the SONET specifications for fiber-optic transmissions, defines the power budget, and helps you approximate the power margin for multimode and single-mode transmissions. This section includes the following subsections:
•Approximating the PA-A6 Power Margin
•Multimode Power Budget Example with Sufficient Power for Transmission
•Multimode Power Budget Example of Dispersion Limit
•Using Statistics to Estimate the Power Budget
•References on Determining Attenuation and Power Budget
The SONET specification for fiber-optic transmission defines two types of fiber: single mode and multimode. Modes can be thought of as bundles of light rays entering the fiber at a particular angle. Single-mode fiber allows only one mode of light to propagate through the fiber, whereas multimode fiber allows multiple modes of light to propagate through the fiber. Because multiple modes of light propagating through the fiber travel different distances depending on the entry angles, causing them to arrive at the destination at different times (a phenomenon called modal dispersion), single-mode fiber is capable of higher bandwidth and greater cable run distances than multimode fiber.
The typical maximum distances for single-mode and multimode transmissions, as defined by SONET, are in Table 1-5. If the distance between two connected stations is greater than this maximum distance, significant signal loss can result, making transmission unreliable.

1 Table 1-5 gives typical results. Use the power budget calculations described in the following sections to determine the actual distances. |
SONET is a Layer 1 protocol that uses a layered architecture. The following illustration shows SONET's three layers: section, line, and path. The Section OverHead (SOH) and Line OverHead (LOH) form the Transport OverHead (TOH), while the Path OverHead (POH) and actual payload form the Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE). (See Figure 1-10.)
Figure 1-10 Three SONET Layers of a SONET Frame
Each layer adds some number of overhead bytes to the SONET frame.
Table 1-6 illustrates the overhead bytes of the SONET frame.
To design an efficient optical data link, evaluate the power budget. The power budget is the amount of light available to overcome attenuation in the optical link and to exceed the minimum power that the receiver requires to operate within its specifications. Proper operation of an optical data link depends on modulated light reaching the receiver with enough power to be correctly demodulated.
Attenuation, caused by the passive media components (cables, cable splices, and connectors), is common to both multimode and single-mode transmission.
The following variables reduce the power of the signal (light) transmitted to the receiver in multimode transmission:
•Chromatic dispersion (spreading of the signal in time because of the different speeds of light wavelengths)
•Modal dispersion (spreading of the signal in time because of the different propagation modes in the fiber)
Attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for other media. For multimode transmission, chromatic and modal dispersion reduce the available power of the system by the combined dispersion penalty. The power lost over the data link is the sum of the component, dispersion, and modal losses.
Table 1-7 lists the factors of attenuation and dispersion for typical fiber-optic cable.

The LED used for a multimode transmission light source creates multiple propagation paths of light, each with a different path length and time requirement to cross the optical fiber, causing signal dispersion (smear). Higher-order mode loss (HOL) results from light from the LED entering the fiber and being radiated into the fiber cladding. A worst-case estimate of power margin (PM) for multimode transmissions assumes minimum transmitter power (PT), maximum link loss (LL), and minimum receiver sensitivity (PR). The worst-case analysis provides a margin of error; not all of the parts of an actual system will operate at the worst-case levels.
The power budget (PB) is the maximum possible amount of power transmitted. The following equation lists the calculation of the power budget:
PB = PT - PR
PB = -20 dBm - (-30 dBm)
PB = 10 dBm
The power margin calculation is derived from the power budget minus the link loss, as follows:
PM = PB - LL
If the power margin is positive, as a rule, the link will work.
Table 1-8 lists the factors that contribute to link loss and the estimate of the link loss value attributable to those factors.
After you calculate the power budget minus the data link loss, the result should be greater than zero. Circuits with results that are less than zero may have insufficient power to operate the receiver.
The SONET specification requires that the signal must meet the worst-case parameters listed in Table 1-9.

-20 dBm |
PR |
-34 dBm |
-31 dBm |
-30 dBm |
PB |

16 dBm |
10 dB |
The following is a sample multimode power budget calculated based on the following variables:
Length of multimode link = 3 kilometers (km)
Four connectors
Three splices
Higher-order mode loss (HOL)
Clock recovery module (CRM)
Estimate the power budget as follows:
PB = 10 dB - 3 km (1.0 dB/km) - 4 (0.5 dB) - 3 (0.5 dB) - 0.5 dB (HOL) - 1 dB (CRM)
PB = 10 dB - 3 dB - 2 dB - 1.5 dB - 0.5 dB - 1 dB
PB = 2 dB
The positive value of 2 dB indicates that this link would have sufficient power for transmission.
Following is an example with the same parameters as the previous example, but with a multimode link distance of 4 km:
PB = 10 dB - 4 km (1.0 dB/km) - 4 (0.5 dB) - 3 (0.5 dB) - 0.5 dB (HOL) - 1 dB (CRM)
PB = 10 dB - 4 dB - 2 dB - 1.5 dB - 0.5 dB - 1 dB
PB = 1 dB
The value of 1 dB indicates that this link would have sufficient power for transmission. But due to the dispersion limit on the link (4 km x 155.52 MHz > 500 MHz/km), this link would not work with multimode fiber. In this case, single-mode fiber would be the better choice.
The single-mode signal source is an injection laser diode. Single-mode transmission is useful for longer distances, because there is a single transmission path within the fiber and smear does not occur. In addition, chromatic dispersion is also reduced because laser light is essentially monochromatic.
The receiver for single-mode intermediate reach (SMI) cannot be overloaded by the SMI transmitter and does not require a minimum fiber cable length or loss. The maximum receive power for single-mode long reach (SML) is -10 dBm, and the maximum transmit power is 0 dBm. The SML receiver can, therefore, be overloaded when short lengths of fiber are used. Overloading the receiver will not damage the receiver but can cause unreliable operation. To prevent overloading an SML receiver connected with short fiber links, insert a minimum 10-dB attenuator on the link between any single-mode long-reach transmitter and the receiver.
Statistical models more accurately determine the power budget than the worst-case method. Determining the link loss with statistical methods requires accurate knowledge of variations in the data link components. Statistical power budget analysis is beyond the scope of this document. For further information, refer to UNI Forum specifications, ITU-T standards, and your equipment specifications.

This section describes how to identify the interface addresses for the PA-A6 in supported platforms. Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on a PA-A6 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.
Interfaces on a PA-A6 installed in a VIP or FlexWAN module maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface processors or modules are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP or FlexWAN module to a different slot, the interface processor or module slot number changes to reflect the new interface processor or module slot.
Note Interface ports are numbered from left to right starting with 0.
The following subsections describe the interface address formats for the supported platforms:
•Cisco 7200 Series Routers and Cisco 7200 VXR Routers Interface Address

In the Cisco 7304 router, port adapters are installed in a Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, which installs in Cisco 7304 router module slots 2 through 5. The port adapter slot number is the same as the module slot number. See Figure 1-15.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format module-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-10. For example, if a single-port PA-A6 is installed in the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card in Cisco 7304 router module slot 3, the interface address would be 3/0.
In the Cisco 7401ASR router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered slot 1. See Figure 1-16.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-10. For example, if a single-port PA-A6 is installed on a Cisco 7401ASR router, the interface address would be 1/0.
In Cisco 7500 series routers, port adapters are installed on a versatile interface processor (VIP), which installs in interface processor slots 0 through 12 (depending on the number of slots in the router). The port adapter can be installed in either bay (port adapter slot 0 or 1) on the VIP. See Figure 1-17, Figure 1-18, Figure 1-19, and Figure 1-20.
The interface address for the VIP is composed of a three-part number in the format interface-processor-slot-number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-10.
The first number identifies the slot in which the VIP is installed (slot 0 through 12, depending on the number of slots in the router).
The second number identifies the bay (port adapter slot) on the VIP in which the port adapter is installed (0 or 1). The bays are numbered from left to right on the VIP.
The third number identifies the physical port number (interface port number) on the port adapter. The port numbers always begin at 0 and are numbered from left to right. The number of additional ports depends on the number of ports on the port adapter. The PA-A6 is a single-port port adapter, therefore the port is always 0.
For example, if a single-port PA-A6 is installed in a VIP in interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, the interface addresses would be 3/1/0.
Note Although the processor slots in the seven-slot Cisco 7507 and the thirteen-slot Cisco 7513 chassis are vertically oriented and those in the five-slot Cisco 7505 are horizontally oriented, all Cisco 7500 series routers use the same method for slot and port numbering.
In Cisco 7600 series routers, port adapters are installed in a FlexWAN or Enhanced FlexWAN module, which installs in module slots 2 through 13 (depending on the number of slots in the router). The port adapter can be installed in either bay (port adapter bay 0 or 1) on the FlexWAN or Enhanced FlexWAN module. See Figure 1-21, Figure 1-22, Figure 1-23, and Figure 1-24.
The interface address is composed of a three-part number in the format module-slot-number/port-adapter-bay-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-10.
The first number identifies the module slot of the chassis in which the FlexWAN module is installed (slot 2 through slot 3, 6, 9, or 13 depending on the number of slots in the chassis). These module slots are generally numbered from top to bottom, starting with 1. The Cisco 7609 is the exception with slots numbered right to left, starting with 1.
The second number identifies the bay of the FlexWAN module in which the port adapter is installed (0 or 1). The bays are numbered from left to right on the FlexWAN module.
The third number identifies the physical port number on the port adapter. The PA-A6 is a single-port port adapter, therefore the port is always 0
For example, if a single-port PA-A6 is installed in the FlexWAN module, which is inserted in module slot 3, port adapter bay 0, then the interface address of the port adapter would be 3/0/0 (module slot 3, port adapter bay 0, and port 0). If the same port adapter is in port adapter bay 1 on the FlexWAN module, the interface addresses would be numbered 3/1/0.
