To continue your PA-4E1G installation, you must configure the serial interfaces. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. Minor differences between the platforms—with Cisco IOS software commands—are noted.
This chapter contains the following sections:
•Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
•Customizing the Configuration
You modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called the EXEC (also called enable mode). You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter with the enable command before you can use the configure command to configure a new interface or to change the existing configuration of an interface. The system prompts you for a password if one has been set.
The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>). At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:
Step 1 At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for a privileged-level password as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Step 2 Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.
When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):
Router#
To configure the new interfaces, proceed to the "Configuring the Interfaces" section.
After you verify that the new PA-4E1G is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Have the following information available:
•Protocols you plan to route on each new interface
•IP addresses, if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing
•Bridging protocols you plan to use
•Clock timing source you plan to use for each new interface and clock speeds for external timing
If you installed a new PA-4E1G or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must enter configuration mode to configure the new interfaces. If you replaced a PA-4E1G that was previously configured, the system recognizes the new interfaces and brings them up in their existing configurations.
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring interfaces on a PA-4E1G, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
You execute configuration commands from the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, which usually requires password access. Contact your system administrator, if necessary, to obtain password access. (See the "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section for an explanation of the privileged level of the EXEC.)
This section contains the following subsections:
•Performing a Basic Interface Configuration
Before you remove an interface that you will not replace, or replace port adapters, use the shutdown command to shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured port adapter. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command displays.
Follow these steps to shut down an interface:
Step 1 Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable mode). (See the "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section for instructions.)
Step 2 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 3 Shut down interfaces by entering the interface serial subcommand (followed by the interface address of the interface), and then enter the shutdown command.
When you have finished, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter.
Table 4-1 shows the shutdown command syntax for the supported platforms.
Note If you need to shut down additional interfaces, enter the interface serial command (followed by the interface address of the interface) for each of the interfaces on your port adapter. Use the no shutdown command to enable the interface.
Step 4 Write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#
The system displays an OK message when the configuration has been stored in NVRAM.
Step 5 Verify that new interfaces are now in the correct state (shut down) using the show interfaces command (followed by the interface type and interface address of the interface) to display the specific interface.
Table 4-2 provides examples of the show interfaces serial command for the supported platforms.
Step 6 Re-enable interfaces by doing the following:
a. Repeat Step 3 to re-enable an interface. Substitute the no shutdown command for the shutdown command.
b. Repeat Step 4 to write the new configuration to memory. Use the copy running-config startup-config command.
c. Repeat Step 5 to verify that the interfaces are in the correct state. Use the show interfaces command followed by the interface type and interface address of the interface.
For complete descriptions of software configuration commands, refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
Following are instructions for a basic configuration, which include enabling an interface and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface. For complete descriptions of configuration subcommands and the configuration options available for serial interfaces, refer to the appropriate software documentation.
In the following procedure, press the Return key after each step unless otherwise noted. At any time you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:
Router# disable
Router>
Step 1 Enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 2 Specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface serial subcommand, followed by the interface address of the interface you plan to configure.
Table 4-3 gives examples of the interface serial subcommand for the supported platforms.
Step 3 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface (if IP routing is enabled on the system) by using the ip address subcommand, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
Step 4 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface characteristics.
Step 5 Re-enable the interfaces using the no shutdown command. (See the "Shutting Down an Interface" section.)
Step 6 Configure all additional port adapter interfaces as required.
Step 7 After including all of the configuration subcommands to complete your configuration, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt.
Step 8 Write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#
This completes the procedure for creating a basic configuration.
Use the privileged-level configure command to perform an advanced interface configuration. You will need the following information to perform this configuration:
•Timing source for each new interface (a line-derived or internal clock signal)
•Whether you will use framed or unframed mode on the interfaces
•The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) you want to use
This section contains the following topics:
•Configuring Framed and Unframed Mode
•Configuring Timing (Clock) Signals
•Configuring Cyclic Redundancy Checks
The PA-4E1G supports both framed (G.704) and unframed (G.703) modes of operation; the default is unframed operation.
To enable framed operation, you must specify the start and stop slots, separated by a hyphen, as follows:
timeslot 0/start-slot-31/stop-slot
Following is an example of using the timeslot command with a start slot of 1 and a stop slot of 13:
Router# timeslot 1-13
Nonconfigurable combinations of start and stop slots will be ignored, and the interface will be left unchanged.
In framed mode, the system default is not to use time slot 16 for data. To use slot 16 for data, use the ts16 command in addition to the timeslot 1-17 command, as follows:
Router# timeslot 1-17
Router# ts16
To restore the system default, use the no ts16 command.
Each PA-4E1G operates either with an external clock signal that it recovers from the received data stream or its own internal clock signal. The default is the external clock source line.
To specify the clock source, use the clock source {line | internal} command.
To change the default and use the internal clock, use the clock source internal command.
To return the interface to the default state, use the clock source line command. (The no clock source internal command also returns the interface to the default state.)
Note All E1-G.703/G.704 interfaces operate at a default clock rate of 2.048 Mbps; you cannot configure the clock rate.
The 4-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC4) is an error-checking technique that uses a calculated numeric value to detect errors in transmitted data. By default, CRC4 is not enabled. The sender of a data frame calculates the frame check sequence (FCS). Before it sends a frame, the sender appends the FCS value to the message. The receiver recalculates the FCS and compares its calculation to the FCS from the sender. If there is a difference between the two calculations, the receiver assumes that a transmission error occurred and sends a request to the sender to resend the frame.
Note The E1-G.703/G.704 interface on the PA-4E1G is compliant with BABT 221. The E1-G.703/G.704 interface supports CRC4 in framed mode only.
Table 4-4 summarizes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) commands.
Enable CRC4 using the crc 4 command. Before you can enable 4-bit CRC, you must use the interface serial command (followed by the interface address of the interface) to select the interface on which you want to enable 4-bit CRC. This command functions in the same way on all supported platforms.
In the example that follows, 4-bit CRC is specified:
Router(config-if)# crc 4
The preceding command example applies to all systems in which the PA-4E1G is supported. Use the no crc 4 command to disable CRC4 and return the interface to the default CRC disabled setting.
When you have finished, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt. Then write the new configuration to NVRAM using the copy running-config startup-config command.
For command descriptions, refer to the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces, and use the ping and loopback commands to check connectivity. This section includes the following subsections:
•Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status
•Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity
Table 4-5 demonstrates how you can use the show commands to verify that new interfaces are configured and operating correctly and that the PA-4E1G appears in them correctly. Sample displays of the output of selected show commands appear in the sections that follow. For complete command descriptions and examples, refer to the publication listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
Note The outputs that appear in this document may not match the output you receive when running these commands. The outputs in this document are examples only.
If the interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still have problems bringing up the interface, contact a service representative for assistance. This section includes the following subsections:
•Using the show version or show hardware Commands
•Using the show interfaces Command
Display the configuration of the system hardware, the number and type of each interface type installed, the Cisco IOS software version, the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images, using the show version (or show hardware) command.
Note The outputs that appear in this document may not match the output you receive when running these commands. The outputs in this document are examples only.
The following sections offer some platform-specific output examples using the show version command:
•Cisco 7100 Series Routers—Example Output of the show version Command

Proceed to the next section "Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity" to check network connectivity of the PA-4E1G and switch or router.
Using the ping command, you can verify that an interface port is functioning properly. This section provides a brief description of the ping command. Refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section for detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends echo request packets out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending an echo request, the system waits a specified time for the remote device to reply. Each echo reply is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each request that is not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed] indicate a bad connection.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 10.0.0.10:
Router# ping 10.0.0.10 <Return>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.0.0.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
Router#
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination and that the device is active (powered on); then repeat the ping command.
Proceed to the next section "Using loopback Commands," to finish checking network connectivity.
With the loopback test, you can detect and isolate equipment malfunctions by testing the connection between the PA-4E1G interface and a remote device such as a modem or CSC/DSU. The loopback subcommand places an interface in loopback mode, which enables test packets that are generated from the ping command to loop through a remote device or compact serial cable. If the packets complete the loop, the connection is good. If not, you can isolate a fault to the remote device or compact serial cable in the path of the loopback test.
The E1-G.703/G.704 interface supports the same local loopback test as other (data communications) interfaces. Using the loopback functions, you can check the integrity of the physical data path between the motherboard (or chassis system) and the PA-4E1G with the loopback command. The loopback signal follows this path regardless of whether or not a cable is attached to the port.
Figure 4-1 shows the signal path of the loopback function. The no loopback command disables all loopback tests on the interface.
Note Because each E1-G.703/G.704 interface uses a default clock rate of 2.048 Mbps, you do not have to configure a clock signal on the interface before performing a loopback test.
