Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/DS3 STM-16 SPA
The Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/DS3 STM-16 (1xCHOC48/DS3) is a dual-hight high power SPA that provides channelized SONET or SDH router interface to the corresponding network. The Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/DS3 STM-16 SPA provide IP services engine technology on channelized packet over SONET (POS) or Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) interfaces. Each SPA provides up to 48 channelized POS/SDH, DS-3, or E3 interfaces.
The Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/DS3 STM-16 SPA fits into SIP400 line card of the Cisco 7600 series Routers. The SIP 400 line card has four half height bays; the 1-Port Channelized OC-48/DS3 STM-16 occupies two bays of the SIP 400 line card.
The Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA provides the network scalability with low initial cost and ease of upgrades. It channels one OC-48 or STM-16 interface into DS-3, E3, OC-3c, STM-1c, OC-12c, or STM-4c channels and provides an extensive set of service-enabling features while providing equal line rate to all the ports. The Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/DS3 STM-16 SPA provides a minimum bandwidth of DS3 (T3 or E3). For the Optical Channel (OC), use either SONET or SDH framing.
The basic unit of framing in SDH is STM-1 (Synchronous Transport Module, level 1), which operates at 155.52 Mbps. In case of SONET, the basic unit of framing is STS-3c (Synchronous Transport Signal 3, concatenated) or OC-3c, depending on whether the signal is carried electrically (STS) or optically (OC). The bit-rate for STM-1 and STS-3c/OC-3c is same. SONET also provides an additional basic unit of transmission, the STS-1 (Synchronous Transport Signal 1) or OC-1, operating at 51.84 Mbps (one third of an STM-1/STS-3c/OC-3c carrier).

Interface Naming
The standard interface naming convention is used for naming the SONET/SDH interfaces. The interface names for SONET are:
•
For T3/E3 mode:
interface serial <slot#>/<bay#>/<port#>.<sts#>
•
For POS interface:
interface POS <slot#>/<bay#>/<port#>:<NSTS-1>
Here, the NSTS-1 is the identifier of the first STS-1 on the POS interface and the value of N ranges between 1 to 48.
The interface names for SDH are:
•
For T3/E3 mode:
interface serial <slot#>/<bay#>/<port#>.<au3#>
•
For serial interface:
interface serial <slot#>/<bay#>/<port#>.<au-4#>/<tug-3#>
•
For POS interface:
interface serial <slot#>/<bay#>/<port#>

Configuring BER Testing
Bit error rate test (BERT) allow you to test cables and diagnose signal problems in the field. You can configure individual T1 channel groups to run an independent BER test. You set one local serial port to Bit error rate test (BERT) mode while the remaining local serial ports continue to transmit and receive normal traffic. The BER test checks communication between the local and the remote ports. When running a BER test, your system expects to receive the same pattern that it is transmitting.
Bit error rate test (BERT) circuitry is built into the Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/DS3 STM-16 SPA. There is one pseudo-random binary sequence generator every 16 channels. For each group of 16 channels, BER testing can be run on only one interface at a time.
You can set one local DS3 or E3 serial port to BERT mode while the remaining local serial ports continue to transmit and receive the normal traffic. The BERT checks the communication between the local and the remote DS3 or E3 ports. If traffic is not being transmitted or received, create a back-to-back loopback BER test and send out the specified stream to ensure that you receive the same data that was transmitted.
To determine if the remote DS3/E3 serial port returns the same BERT pattern, you must manually enable network loopback at the remote DS3/E3 serial port, while you enter a bert pattern interface configuration command for specified time intervals on the local DS3/E3 serial port.
With BER tests, you can accurately assess the number of errors on a DS3/E3 link and diagnose signal problems in the field. The Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/DS3 STM-16 SPA supports these pseudorandom test patterns:
•
2^15—Pseudorandom repeating pattern that is 32,767 bits long.
•
2^20—Pseudorandom repeating pattern that is 1,048,575 bits long.
•
2^23—Pseudorandom repeating pattern that is 8,388,607 bits long. This pattern is only available for an E3 interface.
•
Unframed- 2^15—Pseudorandom repeating pattern that is 32,767 bits long, and the DS3 framing bit in the DS3 frame is overwritten when the pattern is inserted in the DS3 frame.
•
Unframed-2^20—Pseudorandom repeating pattern that is 1,048,575 bits long, and the DS3 framing bit in the DS3 frame is overwritten when the pattern is inserted in the DS3 frame.
•
Unframed-2^23—Pseudorandom repeating pattern that is 8,388,607 bits long, and the DS3 framing bit in the DS3 frame is overwritten when the pattern is inserted in the DS3 frame. This pattern is only available for an E3 interface.
Table 21-3 lists the BERT patterns, the pattern length, and the command.

Both the total number of error bits transmitted and the total number of bits received are available for analysis. You can set the testing period from 1 minute to 1440 minutes (240 hours). You can also retrieve the error statistics any time during the BER test.
Sending a BERT Pattern on a DS3/E3 Interface
To perform a BER test on a serial DS3/E3 interface, select an interface and configure the BERT pattern and test duration with the BERT pattern configuration command as follows:
router# configure terminal
router(config)# interface serial 5/0:2
router(config-if)# bert pattern 2^15 interval 3
You can terminate a BER test during the specified test period with the no bert pattern interval time configuration command. (See the "Terminating a BERT" section.)
Inserting Errors in BERT
To insert errors when BERT is in progress, select the interface and specify the number of errors to insert in the BER test pattern. You can then display the results while the test is in progress. (See the "Displaying a BERT" section.)
router# configure terminal
router(config)# interface serial 5/0:2
router(config-if)# bert errors 5
Displaying a BERT
The following sections discuss displaying BER tests using SONET or SDH with AU-3 mapping, or using SDH with AU-4 mapping.
Displaying a BER Test Using SONET or SDH with AU-3 Mapping
When framing is SONET or SDH with AU-3 mapping, you can display the results of a BERT anytime during or after the test, using the show controllers sonet command, as follows. See Table 21-4 for a description of the BER test display.
router# show controller sonet 5/0:2 bert
Interface Serial5/0:2 (DS3 channel 2)
Table 21-4 BERT Display Description
BERT Display
|
Description
|
State: enabled (not synchronized)
|
BERT is active, but the hardware is not synchronized. Errors are counted only when the hardware sunchronizes.
|
State: enabled (synchronized)
|
BERT is active, but the hardware has synchronized. Any errors detected are counted.
|
State: disabled (synchronization failed)
|
BERT is completed and the test failed, either because hardware could not synchronize or the DS3/E3 alarms were detected on the interface.
|
State: disabled (synchronized completed)
|
BERT is completed because the interval expired.
|
State: disabled (synchronized aborted)
|
BERT is completed as a result of user request.
|
Pattern
|
One of the supported patterns.
|
Interval
|
Value from 1 to 1440 in minutes.
|
Time remaining
|
Test duration remaining, formatted in hours, minutes, and seconds (hh:mm:ss).
|
Total errors
|
Total number of errors while the hardware is synchronized.
|
Time this sync
|
If the hardware is currently synchronized, the amount of time since the synchronization began. If it is not currently synchronized but was synchronized earlier, indicates the amount of time the last or most recent synchronization period lasted. Formatted in hh:mm:ss.
|
Errors this sync
|
If the hardware is currently synchronized, the number of errors displayed during the current synchronization period. If it is not currently synchronized but was synchronized earlier, the number of errors displayed during the last or most recent synchronization period.
|
Sync count
|
The number of times the hardware synchronized.
|
Displaying BER Test Results Using SDH with AU-4 Mapping
When the framing is SDH with AU-4 mapping, you can display the results of a BERT any time during or after the test using the show controllers sonet command. See Table 21-4 for a description of the BER test display.
router# show controller sonet 8/1.1:1 bert
Interface Serial8/1.1:1 (E3 channel 1)
Terminating a BERT
You can terminate a BERT with the no bert configuration command:
router# configure terminal
router(config)# interface serial5/0:2
router(config-if)# no bert
