Port Adapter Overview
The multichannel E1/PRI port adapters (PA-MC-2E1/120 and PA-MC-8E1/120) integrate data service unit (DSU) functionality and E1 channel support into the Cisco router.
The PA-MC-2E1/120 and PA-MC-8E1/120 provide two or eight independent E1 (120-ohm) connections via RJ-48C connectors. (See Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.) The PA-MC-8E1/120 can provide up to 128 separate full-duplex High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) channelized E1, fractional E1, full E1, or unframed E1 interfaces and the PA-MC-2E1/120 can provide up to 62 separate full-duplex HDLC channelized E1, fractional E1, full E1, or unframed E1 interfaces.
Note The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 and the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module support the PA-MC-8E1/120 multichannel E1/PRI port adapter only.
Note The Cisco 7201 router supports the PA-MC-2E1/120 multichannel E1/PRI port adapter only.
Note The Cisco 7401ASR router supports the PA-MC-8E1/120 multichannel E1/PRI port adapter only.

Note Each port adapter has a handle attached, but this handle is not shown in this publication to allow a full view of the detail on the port adapter face plate.
When you are running channelized E1, each E1 interface can provide up to 31 E1 channel groups, which are numbered from 0 to 30. Each channel group provides up to 31 64-kbps timeslots (E1 channels), which are numbered 1 to 31. Multiple timeslots can be mapped to a single channel group. Each channel group is presented to the system as a serial interface that can be configured individually. Usable bandwidth for each channel group is calculated as n x 56 kbps or n x 64 kbps, where n is a number of E1 channels (1 to 31).
Note The Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module does not support ISDN.
When you are running ISDN PRI, each E1 interface provides 30 bearer (B) channels that can transmit and receive data at the rate of 64 kbps, full-duplex, and one data (D) channel that can transmit and receive data at the rate of 64 kbps, full-duplex. The B channels are used for transmitting user data. The D channel is used for call setup control and network connection teardown, and provides the communication from the router to the ISDN switch. The B and D channels are presented to the system as serial interfaces that support HDLC and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) encapsulation. The multichannel E1/PRI port adapter supports dial-on-demand routing (DDR) when you are running ISDN PRI.
Each of the E1 channels on the multichannel E1/PRI port adapter uses a portion of the E1 bandwidth (fractional E1) or the entire E1 bandwidth for data transmission. Usable bandwidth for each E1 is n x 64 or n x 56 kbps, where n is a number from 1 to 31. The unused portion of the E1 bandwidth, when you are not running at full E1 speeds, cannot be used and is filled with idle channel data.
Note E1 timeslots on the PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 are numbered 1 to 31, rather than following the more traditional zero-based scheme (0 to 30) used with other Cisco products. This is to ensure consistency with telco numbering schemes for E1 channels within channelized equipment.
The PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 support network and payload loopbacks. Bit error rate (BER) testing is supported on each of the E1 links. The bit error rate (BER) tester can be run only on one port at a time.
The PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 supports the aggregation of multiple E1s (called inverse multiplexing or bonding) for higher bandwidth data rates. The PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 also supports Cisco HDLC, Frame Relay, PPP, and SMDS Data Exchange Interface (DXI) encapsulations over each E1 link. For SMDS only, DXI is sent on the E1 line, so it needs to connect to an SMDS switch that has direct DXI input.

Both port adapters: 20 with Cisco IOS 11.2 release and Cisco IOS 11.1CA release |
Rules for determining the allowable number of PRI groups per port adapter:
•Each port can have a maximum of 1 PRI group
•Each PRI group can have from 1-31 timeslots configured
•The number of channels is determined adding the number of timeslots (B channels) configured, and the 1 required D channel (per PRI group)
•The allowable number of PRI groups per port adapter is governed by the maximum number of channels supported by the hardware which is 128
Example 1: Valid configuration.
PA-MC-8E1 configured with:
1 PRI group of 10 timeslots (10 B channels + 1 D channel = 11 channels)
1 PRI group of 20 timeslots (20 B channels + 1 D channel = 21 channels)
1 PRI group of 15 timeslots (15 B channels + 1 D channel = 16 channels)
1 PRI group of 31 timeslots (30 B channels + 1 D channel = 31 channels)
1 PRI group of 31 timeslots (30 B channels + 1 D channel = 31 channels)
Total number of channels: 110
This example is valid because 110 channels is fewer than the 128 channels maximum allowable per port adapter. In this case the 5 PRI ports can be used for the PA-MC-8E1. (Another 18 channels could be configured for a maximum of 128 [110 + 18 = 128] ports.)
Example 2: Non-valid configuration.
PA-MC-8E1 configured with:
1 PRI group of 31 timeslots (30 B channels + 1 D channel = 31 interfaces)
1 PRI group of 31 timeslots (30 B channels + 1 D channel = 31 interfaces)
1 PRI group of 31 timeslots (30 B channels + 1 D channel = 31 interfaces)
1 PRI group of 31 timeslots (30 B channels + 1 D channel = 31 interfaces)
1 PRI group of 31 timeslots (30 B channels + 1 D channel = 31 interfaces)
Total number of interfaces: 155
This example is not valid because 155 channels exceeds the 128 channels allowable.

•Supports user-configurable international and national bits, set to a predetermined pattern.
Compliance and Electrical Interface Specifications for E1/PRI
The E1/PRI line interface unit (LIU) meets the following specifications for input jitter tolerance, pulse shape/amplitude (E1), line termination, and jitter transfer:
•CCIT G.703
•CCIT G.704
•CCIT G.823
The PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 ports receive and transmit at the E1 level while driving and receiving from a 120-ohm unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. This port adapter connects directly to any equipment that has E1 level input/output. The E1/PRI front end meets the following specifications:
•Line rate: 2.048 Mbps (± 32 ppm)
•Line code: AMI or HDB3 (bipolar with eight-zero substitution) on the external ports
•Impedance: 120 ohms
•Pulse shape: ANSI E1.102, with pulse amplitude between 2.4 and 3.6V peak.
Table 1-2 provide the E1 channel data rates for the multichannel E1/PRI port adapter.

LEDs
The multichannel E1/PRI port adapter contains the ENABLED LED, standard on all port adapters, and one status LED for each port. After system initialization, the ENABLED LED goes on, indicating that the multichannel E1/PRI port adapter has been enabled for operation. (See Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4.) The console screen also displays a message as the system discovers each interface during its reinitialization.
The following conditions must be met before the multichannel E1/PRI port adapter is enabled:
•The multichannel E1/PRI port adapter is correctly connected to the backplane and receiving power.
•The system bus recognizes the multichannel E1/PRI port adapter.
•A valid version of multichannel E1/PRI port adapter microcode is loaded and running.
If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the ENABLED LED does not go on.

Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts
The E1/PRI interface receptacles on the multichannel E1/PRI port adapter are RJ-48C receptacles for E1 (120-ohm). You can use them all simultaneously. Each connection supports E1 (120-ohm) interfaces that meet G.703 standards. The RJ-48C connection does not require an external transceiver. The E1/PRI ports are E1 interfaces that use 120-ohm unshielded twisted pair cables. (See Figure 1-5.)
Note To meet VCCI Class II EMI requirements, you must use foil twisted pair (FTP) cables.
Figure 1-5 and Table 1-4 show the multichannel E1/PRI port adapter interface cable, connector, and pinout.

Catalyst RSM/VIP2 Slot Numbering
The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 can be installed in any slot in a Catalyst 5000 family switch except the top slots, which contain the supervisor engines. The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 does not use interface processor slot numbering; therefore, slots are not numbered. The PA-MC-8E1/120 can be installed into either port adapter slot 0 or slot 1 on a Catalyst RSM/VIP2. Figure 1-6 shows a Catalyst 5000 family switch with two port adapters installed in a Catalyst RSM/VIP2.
Note The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 supports the PA-MC-8E1/120 multichannel E1/PRI port adapter only.
Note The Catalyst 5500 switch has 13 slots. Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine. If a redundant supervisor engine is used, it would go in slot 2; otherwise, slot 2 can be used for other modules. Slot 13 is a dedicated slot, reserved for the ATM Switch Processor (ASP) module. Refer to the Catalyst 5000 Series Route Switch Module Installation and Configuration Note for any additional slot restrictions for the Catalyst RSM/VIP2.

The PA-MC-2E1 and PA-MC-8E1 are supported on the VIPs (versatile interface processors) used in Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers. In the Cisco 7010 router and Cisco 7505 router, the VIP motherboard is installed horizontally in the VIP slot. In the Cisco 7507 router and Cisco 7513 router, the VIP motherboard is installed vertically in the VIP slot. The PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 can be installed in either bay (port adapter slot 0 or 1) on the VIP. The bays are numbered from left to right on the VIP. Figure 1-17 shows the slot numbering on a VIP.
Figure 1-17 VIP Slot Locations
Cisco 7010 routers have three slots for port adapters, and two slots for Route Switch Processors (RSPs). The slots are numbered from bottom to top. You can place the PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 in any of the VIP interface slots (slot 0 through 2). Slots 3 and 4 are always reserved for RSPs. The Cisco 7010 router is not shown.
Cisco 7505 routers have four slots for port adapters, and one slot for an RSP. The slots are numbered from bottom to top. You can place the PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 in any of the VIP interface slots (slot 0 through 3). One slot is always reserved for the RSP. Figure 1-18 shows the slot numbering on a Cisco 7505 router.
Figure 1-18 VIP Slots in the Cisco 7505 Router
Cisco 7507 routers have five slots for port adapters, and two slots for RSPs. The slots are numbered from left to right. You can place the PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 in any of the VIP interface slots (slot 0, 1, 4, 5, or 6). Slots 2 and 3 are always reserved for RSPs. The Cisco 7507 router is not shown.

The Cisco 7513 router is not shown.
Identifying Interface Addresses
This section describes how to identify interface addresses for the PA-MC-2E1/120 or PA-MC-8E1/120 in the supported platforms. Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on a PA-MC-2E1/120 and PA-MC-8E1/120 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-MC-2E1/120 and PA-MC-8E1/120 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.
Note E1 timeslots on the multichannel E1/PRI port adapter are numbered 1 to 31, rather than following the more traditional zero-based scheme (0 to 30) used with other Cisco products. This is to ensure consistency with telco numbering schemes for E1 channels within channelized E1 equipment.

Catalyst RSM/VIP2 Interface Addresses
In Catalyst 5000 family switches, the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 can be installed in any slot except the top slots, which contain the supervisor engine modules. The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 in a Catalyst 5000 family switch does not use interface processor slot numbering; therefore, the slots in which it is installed are not numbered. A port adapter can be installed into either port adapter slot 0 or slot 1 on a Catalyst RSM/VIP2. See Figure 1-6.
The interface address is composed of a three-part number in the format port-adapter-slot number/interface-port number:channel-group-number. See Table 1-5. For example, if an eight-port PA-MC-8E1/120 is installed in slot 1, channel 1, on a Catalyst RSM/VIP2, the interface addresses would be 1/0:1, 1/1:1, 1/2:1, 1/3:1, 1/4:1, 1/5:1, 1/6:1, and 1/7:1 (port adapter slot 1 interface ports 0 through 7, and channel group 1).
Note The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 supports the PA-MC-8E1/120 only.

The Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module can be installed in module slots 2 through 13 (depending on the number of slots in the router). Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine. A port adapter can be installed into either port adapter bay 0 or bay 1 on a FlexWAN module. See Figure 1-7.
The interface address is composed of a four-part number in the format module-number/ port-adapter-bay-number/interface-port-number:channel-group-number. See Table 1-5.
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 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-MC-8E1/120 is an eight-port port adapter, therefore the port can be 0 through 7.
The fourth number identifies the logical channel group and is a number from 0 through 30.
For example, if an eight-port PA-MC-8E1/120 is installed in the FlexWAN module in module slot 3, port adapter bay 0, channel 1, the interface addresses would be 3/0/0:1 through 3/0/7:1 (module slot 3, port adapter bay 0, interface ports 0 through 7, and channel group 1).
Note The FlexWAN module supports the PA-MC-8E1/120 only.
Note The FlexWAN module physical port address begins with slot 0, which differs from the conventional Catalyst 6000 family port address, which begins with slot 1.

Cisco 7000 Series Routers and Cisco 7500 Series Routers VIP Interface Addresses
In Cisco 7000 series routers and 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, and Figure 1-18.
The interface address for the VIP is composed of a four-part number in the format interface-processor-slot-number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port- number:channel-group-number. See Table 1-5.
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-MC-2E1/120 is a dual-port port adapter, therefore the port can be 0 or 1. The PA-MC-8E1/120 are eight-port port adapters, therefore their port can be 0 through 7.
The fourth number identifies the logical channel group and is a number from 0 through 30.
For example, if a dual-port PA-MC-2T1 is installed in a VIP in interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1,channel 1, the interface addresses would be 3/1/0:1 and 3/1/1:1 (interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, interface ports 0 and 1, and channel group 1). If an eight-port PA-MC-8E1/120 is installed in a VIP in interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, channel 1, the interface addresses would be 3/1/0:1, 3/1/1:1, 3/1/2:1, 3/1/3:1, 3/1/4:1, 31//5:1, 3/1/6:1, and 3/1/7:1 (interface processor slot 3,port adapter slot 1, interface ports 0 through 7, and channel group 1).
Note Although the processor slots in the seven-slot Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 routers and the thirteen-slot Cisco 7513 router are vertically oriented and those in the five-slot Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 routers are horizontally oriented, all Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers use the same method for slot and port numbering.
