Port Adapter Overview
The PA-4T, shown in Figure 1-1, provides four channel-independent, synchronous serial ports that
support full-duplex operation a

Chapter 1 Overview Synchronous Serial Overview Synchronous Serial Overview The PA-4T supports the following interface types: EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, X.21, and EIA-530. EIA/TIA-232, which is by far the most common interface standard in the United States, supports unbalanced circuits at signal speeds up to 64 kbps. EIA/TIA-449, which supports balanced (EIA/TIA-422) and unbalanced (EIA/TIA-423) transmissions, is a faster (up to 2 Mbps) version of EIA/TIA-232 that provides more functi

Chapter 1 Overview 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

Chapter 1 Overview Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts 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-equi

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

Chapter 1 Overview 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 port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-8 for the interface address format. In Cisco 7200 series routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the lower left to the upper right, beginning with po
