support full-duplex operation at T1 (1.544 Mbps) and E1 (2.048 Mbps) speeds. Each port supports any
of the available interface types: Electronics Industries Association/Telecommunications Industries
Association (EIA/TIA)-232, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, X.21, and EIA-530. The cable attached to each PA-4T
interface port determines its type (EIA/TIA-232, and so forth) and its mode (DCE or DTE).
Note
Although the VIP supports online insertion and removal (OIR), individual port adapters do not. To
replace port adapters, you must first remove the VIP from the chassis, and then replace port adapters as
required.
Cisco 7200 series routers support OIR of all port adapter types.

Synchronous Serial Specifications
Synchronous Serial Specifications
The PA-4T provides up to four synchronous serial interfaces. Each interface allows a maximum
bandwidth of 2.048 Mbps; the speed depends on the type of electrical interface used. Use EIA/TIA-232
for speeds of 64 kilobits per second (kbps) and below, and use X.21, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, or EIA-530 for
higher speeds.
Serial signals can travel a limited distance at any given bit rate; generally, the slower the baud rate, the
greater the distance. All serial signals are subject to distance limits beyond which a signal degrades
significantly or is completely lost.
interface type. The recommended maximum rate for V.35 is 2,048 Mbps.

LEDs
The PA-4T contains the enabled LED, standard on all port adapters, and a one status LED for each port.
After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the PA-4T has been enabled for

The green enabled LED on the port adapter indicates that the motherboard is enabled and receiving
power, and that the port adapter is ready for operation.
The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:
•
•
The PA-4T interface is correctly connected and receiving power
The PA-4T-equipped card or router contains a valid microcode version that has been downloaded
successfully
•
The bus recognizes the PA-4T or PA-4T-equipped VIP
If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED does
not go on.

Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts
The following sections describe the serial receptacles on the PA-4T, and the cables and pinouts for the
various serial interface cables.
PA-4T Port Adapter Receptacles and Cables
The PA-4T and adapter cables allow a high density of interface ports, regardless of the size of the
connectors typically used with each electrical interface type. All ports use an identical 60-pin, D-shell
receptacle that supports all interface types: EIA/TIA-232, V.35, EIA/TIA-449, X.21, and EIA-530. Each
port requires a serial adapter cable, which provides the interface between the high-density serial port and
the standard connectors that are commonly used for each electrical interface type.
Note
The adapter cable determines the electrical interface type and mode of the port (DTE or DCE) to which
it is connected.

Chapter 1 Overview
Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts
The network end of the cable is an industry-standard connector for the type of electrical interface that
the cable supports. For most interface types, the adapter cable for DTE mode uses a plug at the network
end, and the cable for DCE mode uses a receptacle at the network end. Exceptions are V.35 adapter
cables, which are available with either a V.35 plug or a receptacle for either mode, and the EIA-530
adapter cable, which is available only in DTE mode with a DB-25 plug at the network end. The mode is
labeled on the molded plastic connector shell at the ends of all cables except V.35 (which uses the
standard Winchester block-type connector instead of a molded plastic D-shell).
Following are the available interface cable options (and product numbers) for the mode and network-end
connectors for each cable:
•
•
•
EIA/TIA-232: DTE mode with a DB-25 plug (CAB-232MT=); DCE mode with a DB-25 receptacle
(CAB-232FC=)
EIA/TIA-449: DTE mode with a 37-pin D-shell plug (CAB-449MT=); DCE mode with a 37-pin
D-shell receptacle (CAB-449C=)
V.35: DTE mode or DCE mode with a 34-pin Winchester-type V.35 plug (CAB-V35MT= or
CAB-V35MC=); DTE mode or DCE mode with a 34-pin Winchester-type V.35 receptacle
(CAB-V35FT= or CAB-V35FC=). Also available is a cable with a male DB-60 plug on the router
end and a male DB-34 shielded plug on the network end (CAB-V35MTS=).
•
•
X.21: DTE mode with a DB-15 plug (CAB-X21MT=); DCE mode with a DB-25 receptacle
(CAB-X21FC=)
EIA-530: DTE mode with a DB-25 plug (CAB-530MT=)

Metric (M3) thumbscrews are included with each port adapter cable to allow connections to devices that
use metric hardware. Because the 4T port adapter uses a special, high-density port that requires special
adapter cables for each electrical interface type, we recommend that you obtain serial interface cables
from the factory.
EIA/TIA-232 Connections
The router (VIP) end of all EIA/TIA-232 adapter cables is a high-density 60-pin plug. The opposite
(network) end of the adapter cable is a standard 25-pin D-shell connector (known as a DB-25) that is
the adapter cable. The system console and auxiliary ports on the Route Switch Processor (RSP) in the
Cisco 7500 series also use EIA/TIA-232 connections; however, the 4T port adapter interfaces support
synchronous serial connections, and the console and auxiliary ports only support asynchronous
connections. Use caution when connecting EIA/TIA-232 cables to the 4T receptacles.

4T Port Adapter Cable Pinouts
The 4T port adapter supports EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, X.21, V.35, and EIA-530 serial interfaces.
All 4T ports use a a 60-pin receptacle that supports all available interface types. A special serial adapter
cable, which is required for each port, determines the electrical interface type and mode of the interface.
The router (VIP) end of all of the adapter cables is a 60-pin plug; the connectors at the network end are
the standard connectors used for the respective interfaces.
All interface types except EIA-530 are available in DTE or DCE format: DTE with a plug connector at
the network end and DCE with a receptacle at the network end. V.35 is available in either mode with
either gender at the network end. EIA-530 is available in DTE only.

Port Adapter Slot Locations on the Supported Platforms
This section discusses port adapter slot locations on the supported platforms. The illustrations that
follow summarize slot location conventions on each platform.
Cisco 7200 Series Router Slot Numbering
Figure 1-9 shows a Cisco 7206 with port adapters installed. In the Cisco 7206, port adapter slot 1 is in
the lower left position, and port adapter slot 6 is in the upper right position. (The Cisco 7202 and Cisco
7204 are not shown; however, the PA-4T can be installed in any available port adapter slot.)

Identifying Interface Addresses
This section describes how to identify interface addresses for the PA-4T in supported platforms.
Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on the PA-4T 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-4T installed in a VIP maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface
processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP to a different slot, the interface
processor slot number changes to reflect the new interface processor slot.
Note
Interface ports are numbered from left to right starting with 0.
Table 1-8 explains how to identify interface addresses.

Identifying Interface Addresses
Cisco 7200 Series Routers Interface Addresses
This section describes how to identify the interface addresses used for the PA-4T in Cisco 7200 series
routers. The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format
In Cisco 7200 series routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the lower left to the upper right,
beginning with port adapter slot 1 and continuing through port adapter slot 2 for the Cisco 7202, slot 4
for the Cisco 7204, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206. (Port adapter slot 0 is reserved for the optional Fast
Ethernet port on the I/O controller—if present.)
The interface addresses of the interfaces on the PA-4T in port adapter slot 1 are
1/0 through 1/7 (port adapter slot 1 and interfaces 0 through 7). If the PA-4T was in port adapter slot 4,
these same interfaces would be numbered 4/0 through 4/7 (port adapter slot 4 and interfaces
0 through 3).
VIP Interface Addresses
This section describes how to identify the interface addresses used for the PA-4T on a VIP in Cisco 7500
series routers.
Note
Although the processor slots in the 7-slot Cisco 7507, the 13-slot, and the 13-slot Cisco 7576 are
vertically oriented and those in the 5-slot Cisco 7505 are horizontally oriented, all Cisco 7500 series
routers use the same method for slot and port numbering.
See Table 1-8 for the interface address format. The interface address is composed of a three-part number
in the format interface-processor-slot-number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number.
If the VIP is inserted in interface processor slot 3, then the interface addresses of the PA-4T are 3/1/0
through 3/1/3 (interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, and interfaces 0 through 3). If the
port adapter was in port adapter slot 0 on the VIP, these same interface addresses would be numbered
3/0/0 through 3/0/3.
Note
slot 3 and install it in interface processor slot 2, the interface addresses become 2/1/0 through 2/1/3.
