Serial Mobile Interface Card
The Serial Mobile Interface Card is one component of the Cisco 3200 Series Mobile Access Router. It provides the router up to 4 high-speed sets of serial signals in both data terminal equipment (DTE) and data circuit equipment (DCE) modes. Additional components provide power and link interfaces to the SMIC. For example, the Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card provides the host processor, memory, and headers for the Fast Ethernet, console, and auxiliary signals for the router. The exact configuration of your router will vary, depending on how it was configured by your vendor.
Note 
This section provides basic information about the SMIC hardware for the purpose of performing simple troubleshooting, such as reconnecting a loose cable. To solve more difficult problems, please contact your vendor.
Each SMIC provides the following:
•Support for two to four sets of serial signals with protocol support for High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), asynchronous, synchronous and octet-oriented PPP modes. The signals can be configured to any serial standard (EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, EIA/TIA-530, EIA/TIA-530A, EIA/TIA-X.21, or CCITT V.35).
•DCE and DTE mode support on each set of serial signals.
•Speeds of 2 Mbps for synchronous data transfer and 115 kbps for asynchronous data transfer on each serial interface. All serial standards reach 2 Mbps (for synchronous) except for the EIA/TIA-232 standard, which supports up to 192K.
Note The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus and the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus use keying features in the standard stacking headers to guarantee proper module installation. On the PCI bus, pin D30 is removed and its opening is plugged. On the ISA Bus, pin C19 and pin B10 are removed, and their openings are plugged.
The PCI bus connector supports communication between the SMIC, the Fast Ethernet Switch Mobile Interface Card (FESMIC), and the Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card or Mobile Access Router Card (MARC). The Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) communicates with the router through an internal Fast Ethernet port and is configured through an independent console port; the WMIC only draws power only from the bus.

Caution If you add non-Cisco cards that generate signals on the PCI bus, the router might shut down. Do not add non-Cisco cards that generate signals on the PCI bus.

Signals for the SMIC
The Cisco Single-sideband (SSB) Serial standard supports the following:
•EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, EIA-530, EIA-530A, X.21, and V.35 standards in both DTE and DCE modes.
•Signals (SSB and LED) are provided through the 60-pin multifunction header(s).
The position of the rotary switch determines the port assignments. Although the rotary switch has eight positions, only positions 0, 1, and 2 are supported on the 4-port SMIC, and only positions 0 and 1 are supported on the 2-port SMIC.
Table 5-1 provides 4-port SMIC port assignments.

4-Port SMIC Rotary Switch Positions
Table 5-3 shows the 4-port SMIC serial signal assignments. The position of the rotary switch determines the port assignments. Although the rotary switch has 8 positions, only 1 of 4 positions can be selected. The rotary switch position should be unique for each mobile interface card (MIC) card.
