PA-A3-T3, PA-A3-E3, PA-A3-OC3MM, PA-A3-OC3SMI, and PA-A3-OC3SML ATM Port Adapters
The PA-A3-T3 and PA-A3-E3 port adapters were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 11.1(18)CC. This feature module has been updated to include information on the PA-A3-OC3MM, PA-A3-OC3SMI, and PA-A3-OC3SML ATM Port Adapters, which were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 11.1(19)CC.
Feature Summary
The enhanced ATM port adapter is a new generation of single-wide, single-port ATM port adapters available on Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7500 series routers, and Cisco 7000 series routers with the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI). The PA-A3 port adapters include five hardware versions that support the following standards-based physical interfaces:
•
DS3
•
•
•
•
The PA-A3 port adapters support all Cisco IOS features and ATM-specific features available in Release 11.1(18)CC except for the available bit rate (ABR) permanent virtual circuit (PVC) and LAN emulation (LANE) features. ABR and LANE will be supported in a future maintenance release of Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CC.

For further information on configuring the PA-A3 port adapter, see the "Configuring ATM" chapter of the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.
Command Reference
This section documents new or modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 11.1 command references.
atm ds3-scramble
To enable scrambling of the ATM cell payload for the DS-3 PLIM on an ATM interface, use the atm ds3-scramble interface configuration command. To disable scrambling of the ATM cell payload for the DS-3 PLIM, use the no form of this command.
atm ds3-scramble
no atm ds3-scrambleSyntax Description
This command has no keywords and arguments.
Default
DS3 scrambling is disabled.
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command was modified in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CA to change the command syntax from ds3 scramble to atm ds3-scramble.
D3 scrambling is used to assist clock recovery on the receiving end.
Example
The following example disables DS3 scrambling on the interface:
Router(config)# interface atm 4/0Router(config-if)# no atm ds3-scrambleatm e3-scramble
To enable scrambling of the ATM cell payload for the E3 PLIM on an ATM interface, use the atm e3-scramble interface configuration command. To disable scrambling of the ATM cell payload for the E3 PLIM, use the no form of this command.
atm e3-scramble
no atm e3-scrambleSyntax Description
This command has no keywords and arguments.
Default
E3 scrambling is enabled.
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CA.
E3 scrambling is used to assist clock recovery on the receiving end.
Example
The following example disables E3 scrambling on the interface:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0Router(config-if)# no atm e3-scrambleatm framing (DS3)
To specify DS3 line framing on an ATM interface, use the atm framing interface configuration command. To return to the default C-bit with Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) framing, use the no form of this command.
atm framing [cbitadm | cbitplcp | m23adm | m23plcp]
no atm framing [cbitadm | cbitplcp | m23adm | m23plcp]Syntax Description
Default
cbitplcp
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command was modified in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CA to include the ATM CES port adapter and in Release 11.1 CC to include the PA-A3 enhanced ATM port adapter.
This command is available on Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers with DS3 access speeds, on Cisco 7200 series routers with the ATM CES port adapter, and on Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7500 series routers, and Cisco 7000/RSP7000 series routers with the PA-A3 enhanced ATM port adapter.
Framing on the interface must match that on the switch for this ATM link.
Example
The following example specifies M23 ADM framing on a router that has been set up with DS3 access to an ATM network:
Router(config)# interface atm 4/0Router(config-if)# atm framing m32admatm framing (E3)
To specify E3 line framing, use the atm framing interface configuration command. To return to the default G.751 Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) framing, use the no form of this command.
atm framing [g832adm | g751adm | g751plcp]
no atm framing [g832adm | g751adm | g751plcp]Syntax Description
g832adm
(Optional) Specifies G.832 ATM direct mapping.
g751adm
(Optional) Specifies G.751 ATM direct mapping.
g751plcp
(Optional) Specifies G.751 PLCP encapsulation. This is the default.
Default
g751plcp
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command was modified in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CA to include the g751plcp keyword.
The default framing is described in the ITU-T Recommendation G.751.
Note
Framing on the interface must match that on the switch for this ATM link.
Example
The following example specifies G.832 ADM framing on a router that has been set up with E3 access to an ATM network:
Router(config)# interface atm 4/0Router(config-if)# atm framing g832admatm lbo
To specify the cable length (line build-out) for the ATM interface, use the atm lbo interface configuration command. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.
atm lbo {long | short}
no atm lboSyntax Description
long
Specifies a cable length greater than 50 feet.
short
Specifies a cable length of less than 50 feet. This is the default.
Default
short
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CA.
Example
The following example specifies that the ATM interface use a cable less than 50 feet:
Router(config)# interface atm 4/0Router(config-if)# atm lbo shortloopback
To place the ATM interface into loopback mode, use the following form of the loopback interface configuration command. To remove the loopback, use the no form of this command.
loopback [cell | line | payload]
no loopback [cell | line | payload]Syntax Description
Default
line; packets loop from the ATM interface back to the ATM network.
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command was modified in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CC to remove the diagnostic and test options for the PA-A3 enhanced ATM port adapter.
This command is useful for testing because it loops all packets from the ATM interface back to the interface as well as directing the packets to the network.
Use the loopback line command to check that the PA-A3 port adapter is working by looping the receive data back to the transmit data.
Example
The following example loops all packets back to the ATM interface:
Router(config)# interface atm 4/0Router(config-if)# loopback diagnostic
