Port Adapter Overview
The PA-MC-STM-1, shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2, is a high-speed, single-port multichannel STM-1 port adapter. You can configure the PA-MC-STM-1 as a multichannel E1 STM-1 port, which can be configured into 63 individual E1 links. Each E1 link can carry a single channel at full or fractional rates, or it can be broken down into multiple DS0 rates.
Two restrictions exist:
•The maximum number of channels is limited to 256 per PA-MC-STM-1.
•The maximum number of FIFO buffers is 2048. The FIFO buffers are shared among the interfaces; how they are shared is determined by speed. If all the FIFO buffers have been assigned to existing interfaces, a new interface cannot be created, and the "%Insufficient FIFOs to create channel group" error message is seen. FIFO allocation information is provided in Table 1-1, and examples of supported and unsupported configurations are provided in Table 1-2 and Table 1-3.

SDH Overview
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is the international standard for optical digital transmission at hierarchical rates from 155.520 Mbps (STM-1) to 2.5 Gbps (STM-16) and greater.
The International Telecommunications Union Telecommunication Sector (ITU-T) defines a series of SDH transmission rates beginning at 155.520 Mbps as follows:
|
|
STM-1 |
155.520 Mbps |
STM-4 |
622.080 Mbps |
STM-16 |
2,488.320 Mbps |
STM-64 |
9,953.280 Mbps |
The PA-MC-STM-1 currently allows transmission over single-mode and multimode optical fiber only. Transmission rates are integral multiples of 51.840 Mbps, which can be used to carry E3 bit-synchronous signals.

PA-MC-STM-1 Multiplexing Hierarchy
Figure 1-3 illustrates the SDH multiplexing structure supported on the PA-MC-STM-1. The PA-MC-STM-1 multiplexing structure is a subset of that defined in ITU-T G.707. At the lowest level, containers (Cs) are input into virtual containers (VCs) with stuffing bits to create a uniform VC payload with a common bit-rate, ready for synchronous multiplexing. Then the VCs are aligned into tributary units (TUs) where pointer processing operations are implemented, allowing the TUs to be multiplexed into TU groups (TUGs). Three TU-12s can be multiplexed into one TUG-2.
Figure 1-3 PA-MC-STM-1 Multiplexing Structure
The TUGs are then multiplexed into higher level VCs, which in turn are multiplexed into administration units (AUs). The AUs are then multiplexed into an AU group (AUG) and the final payload from the AUG is then multiplexed into the Synchronous Transport Module (STM).

PA-MC-STM-1 Optical Fiber Specifications
The PA-MC-STM-1 specification for optical fiber transmission defines two types of fiber: single-mode and multimode. Within the single-mode category, two types of transmission are defined: intermediate reach and long reach. Within the multimode category, only short reach is available. (See Table 1-4 for specifications.)
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 at one wavelength and polarization, and multimode fiber allows multiple modes of light to propagate through the fiber for each wavelength and polarization.
Multiple modes of light propagating through the fiber travel different distances depending on the entry angles, which causes them to arrive at the destination at different times (a phenomenon called modal dispersion). Model dispersion limits propagation distance in multimode fiber before attenuation does. Therefore, single-mode fiber is capable of higher bandwidth and greater cable run distances than multimode fiber. Table 1-4 lists nominal OC-3 optical parameters for single-mode and multimode optical fiber transmission.
Note If the distance between two connected stations is greater than the maximum distances listed, significant signal loss can result, making transmission unreliable.

LEDs
The PA-MC-STM-1 has three LEDs. (See Figure 1-4). The green- or yellow-colored LEDs indicate port adapter status.
Figure 1-4 PA-MC-STM-1 LEDs
After system initialization, the ENABLED LED goes on to indicate that the port adapter has been enabled for operation.
The following conditions must be met before the PA-MC-STM-1 is enabled:
•The PA-MC-STM-1 is correctly connected and is receiving power.
•A valid system software image for the port adapter has been downloaded successfully.
•The system recognizes the PA-MC-STM-1.
If any of the above conditions are not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the ENABLED LED does not go on.

Identifying Interface Addresses
This section describes how to identify interface addresses for the PA-MC-STM-1 in supported platforms. Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on a PA-MC-STM-1 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-STM-1 installed in a FlexWAN module or VIP maintain the same address regardless of whether other modules or interface processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a FlexWAN module or VIP to a different slot, the module or interface processor slot number changes to reflect the new module or interface processor 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:
•Catalyst 6000 Family Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers with FlexWAN Module Interface Addresses
•Cisco 7200 VXR Routers Interface Addresses
•Cisco 7200 VXR Routers with the Port Adapter Jacket Card Interface Addresses

Catalyst 6000 Family Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers with FlexWAN Module Interface Addresses
In Catalyst 6000 family switches and Cisco 7600 series routers, port adapters are installed in a FlexWAN module, which installs in module slots 2 through 9 (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 module. See Figure 1-8.
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 1-6.
The first number identifies the module slot of the chassis in which the FlexWAN module is installed (slot 2 through slot 3, 6,or 9 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-MC-STM is a single-port port adapter, therefore the port is always 0.
For example, if a single-port port adapter 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.
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 7200 VXR Routers Interface Addresses
In Cisco 7200 VXR routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the lower left to the upper right, beginning with slot 1 and continuing through slot 4 for the Cisco 7204VXR router, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206VXR router. Port adapters can be installed in any available port adapter slot from 1 through 6 (depending on the number of slots in the router). Slot 0 is reserved for the I/O controller. See Figure 1-9.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-6. For example, if a single-port PA-MC-STM-1 is installed in slot 1of a Cisco 7200 VXR router, the interface address would be 1/0. If a single-port PA-MC-STM-1 is installed in slot 4, the interface address would be 4/0.
Cisco 7200 VXR Routers with the Port Adapter Jacket Card Interface Addresses
With an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 installed, port adapter slot 0 of Cisco 7204VXR router or Cisco 7206VXR router can accept the Port Adapter Jacket Card. When the Port Adapter Jacket Card resides in port adapter slot 0, the port adapter in the Port Adapter Jacket Card is in port adapter slot 5 on the Cisco 7204 VXR router, or port adapter slot 7 on the Cisco 7206 VXR router. See Figure 1-10
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-6. For example, if a single-port PA-MC-STM-1 is installed in a Port Adapter Jacket Card in the slot formerly known as slot 0 on a Cisco 7204VXR router, but now known as slot 5, the interface address would be 5/0 (slot 5 and interface port 0). If a single-port PA-MC-STM-1 is installed in a Port Adapter Jacket Card in the slot formerly known as slot 0 on a Cisco 7206VXR router, but now known as slot 7, the interface address would be 7/0 (slot 7 and interface port 0).
Cisco 7201 Routers Interface Addresses
In the Cisco 7201 router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered as slot 1. See Figure 1-11.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-6. For example, if a single-port PA-MC-STM-1 is installed in a Cisco 7201 router, the interface address would be 1/0.
Cisco 7301 Routers Interface Addresses
In the Cisco 7201 router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered as slot 1. See Figure 1-12.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-6. For example, if a single-port PA-MC-STM-1 is installed in a Cisco 7201 router, the interface address would be 1/0.
Cisco 7304 Routers with Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card Interface Addresses
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 1-13 and Figure 1-14.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format module-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-6. For example, if a single-port PA-MC-STM-1 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.
Cisco 7401ASR Routers Interface Addresses
In the Cisco 7401ASR router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered as slot 1. See Figure 1-15
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-6. For example, if a single-port PA-MC-STM-1 is installed on a Cisco 7401ASR router, the interface address would be 1/0.
Cisco 7500 Series Routers VIP Interface Addresses
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 1-16, and Figure 1-17.
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 1-6.
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). These processor slots are numbered from bottom to top starting with 0.
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-STM-1 is a single-port port adapter, therefore the port is always 0.
For example, if a single-port PA-MC-STM-1 is installed in a VIP in interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, the interface addresses would be 3/1/0. If the PA-MC-STM-1 is in port adapter slot 0 on the VIP, the same interface address would be 3/0/0.
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 chassis are horizontally oriented, all Cisco 7500 series routers use the same method for slot and port numbering.
