The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Chapter 1 Overview
SONET/SDH Overview
SONET/SDH Overview
The POS specification addresses the use of PPP encapsulation over SONET/Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy (SDH) links. SONET is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard
(T1.1051988) for optical digital transmission at hierarchical rates from 51.840 Mbps (STS-1) to 2.5
Gbps (STS-48) and greater. 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.
Because SONET/SDH is by definition a point-to-point circuit, PPP is well suited for use over these links.
PPP was designed as a standard method of communicating over point-to-point links.
SONET is an octet-synchronous multiplex scheme that defines a family of standard rates and formats.
The basic rate for POS is that of STS-3c/STM-1, which is 155.520 Mbps. The available information
bandwidth is 149.760 Mbps, which is the STS-3c/STM-1 Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE), the
payload portion of the SONET frame into which the octet-oriented user data is mapped. (Octet
boundaries are aligned with the SPE octet boundaries.) For the SPE with the Cisco PA-POS-2OC3,
section, line, and path overhead are removed.
The International Telecommunications Union Telecommunication Sector (ITU-T) defines a series of
SDH transmission rates beginning at 155.520 Mbps, as follows:
SONET1 SDH Equivalent

STS-3c2 STM-12
STS-12c STM-4c
STS-48c STM-16c
1. ANSI-defined SONET specifications.
2. Supported by the PA-POS-2OC3.
Despite the name, SONET is not limited to optical links. Electrical specifications have been defined for
single-mode fiber, multimode fiber, and CATV 75-ohm coaxial cable. The PA-POS-2OC3 allows
transmission over single-mode and multimode optical fiber. Transmission rates are integral multiples of
51.840 Mbps, which can be used to carry T3/E3 bit-synchronous signals.
The following transmission multiples are currently specified and commonly used:
• STS-3c—155.520 Mbps (the PA-POS-2OC3 conforms to STS-3c)
• STS-12c—622.080 Mbps
• STS-48c—2,488.320 Mbps

Interface Specifications
The physical layer interface for the PA-POS-2OC3 is Optical Carrier-3 (OC-3c), the specification for
SONET STS-3c and SDH STM-1 transmission rates), and the PA-POS-2OC3 is designed to comply with
Packet-over-SONET specifications. The PA-POS-2OC3 provides two 155.520-Mbps Packet OC-3
network interfaces for all supported platforms.
Each PA-POS-2OC3 has two duplex LC-type receptacles that allow connection to single-mode or
multimode optical fiber. (For more information on the optical fiber cables you use with this port adapter,
see the “Cables and Connectors” section on page 1-6.)

OL-3028-06 1-3
Chapter 1 Overview
OC-3 Optical Fiber Specifications
Packet data is transported using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and is mapped into the STS-3c/STM-1
frame. The encapsulations used add approximately half the number of bytes of transport overhead as that
involved with ATM using ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) and line card control (LCC) Subnetwork
Access Protocol (SNAP) encapsulations.
The PA-POS-2OC3 interface is compliant with RFC 1619, PPP over SONET/SDH, and RFC 1662, PPP
in HDLC-like Framing. The PA-POS-2OC3 supports RFC 1619 PPP-over-SONET/SDH encapsulation,
and provides support for SNMP agent v1 (RFC 1155-1157), and Management Information Base (MIB)
II (RFC 1213).
OC-3 Optical Fiber Specifications

The OC-3 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.
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, and multimode fiber allows multiple
modes of light to propagate through the fiber.
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); therefore, single-mode fiber is capable of higher bandwidth and greater cable run distances
than multimode fiber. Table 1-1 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.
Table 1-1 lists the OC-3 optical parameters.

Chapter 1 Overview
Using Statistics to Estimate Link Loss and Power Budget
To calculate link losses and dispersion losses for your application, refer to the following specifications
and documents:
• EIA/TIA-IVa Dispersion Unshifted Single-Mode Fiber
• EIA-TIA-IVb Dispersion Shifted Single-Mode Fiber
• GR-20-CORE, Generic Requirements for Optical Fiber and Fiber-Optic Cable
• ITU-T Recommendation G.957, Optical Interfaces for Equipment and Systems Relating to the
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
Network Management Support

Following is the protocol and MIB support for the Cisco PA-POS-2OC3:
• SNMP agent v1 (RFC 1155-1157)
• MIB II (RFC 1213); POS MIB support is available with Cisco IOS Release 12.0
Encapsulation Method Support

The following encapsulation methods are supported by the Cisco PA-POS-2OC3:
• RFC 1619 Point-to-Point Protocol over SONET/SDH
We recommend that you refer to the Internet Draft Enabling Transparency for the PPP over
SONET/SDH Mapping, which is recognized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and
Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) as an approved addendum to RFC 1619.
• High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)
• Frame Relay
Using Statistics to Estimate Link Loss and Power Budget

Statistical models more accurately determine the power budget than standard worst-case methods.
Determining the link loss with statistical methods requires accurate knowledge of variations in the data
link components. Statistical power budget analysis is beyond the scope of this document. For further
information, refer to ITU-T standards and your equipment specifications.
The following publications contain information on determining attenuation and power budget:
• T1E1.2/92-020R2 ANSI, the Draft American National Standard for Telecommunications entitled
Broadband ISDN Customer Installation Interfaces: Physical Layer Specification.
• Power Margin Analysis, AT&T Technical Note, TN89-004LWP, May 1989.

ALARM Orange On There are SONET alarms on the interface
RCV Green On Receive signal is present (a cable is attached and the link
is up)
Green Blinking Packets are currently being received
After system initialization, the ENABLED LED comes on to indicate that power is received and that the
PA-POS-2OC3 is enabled for operation.
The following conditions must all be met before the PA-POS-2OC3 is enabled:
• The PA-POS-2OC3 is correctly connected and receiving power.
• The host system software supports the PA-POS-2OC3.
If any one of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails, the ENABLED LED does not come
on.
Cables and Connectors

Use single-mode (for intermediate- or long-reach configurations) or multimode optical fiber cable to
connect your router to a network or to connect two OC-3-equipped routers back to back.
Note Long-range SFP optics modules (for long-reach configurations) cannot be connected
back-to-back without using an attenuator between the two of them.

Chapter 1 Overview
Port Adapter Slot Locations by Platform
The PA-POS-2OC3 provides the following optical fiber options:

• Multimode—155 Mbps, OC-3 optical fiber (SONET STS-3c or SDH STM-1)
Use a multimode optical fiber that has a core/cladding diameter of 62.5/125 microns.
• Single-mode—155 Mbps, OC-3 optical fiber (SONET STS-3c or SDH STM-1)
Use a single-mode optical fiber that has a modal-field diameter of 8.7 ±0.5 microns. (Nominal
diameter is approximately 10/125 microns.)
Note For maximum cable lengths between stations, see Table 1-1 on page 1-4. Single-mode and multimode
optical fiber cables for the PA-POS-2OC3 are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from
commercial cable vendors.
The PA-POS-2OC3 has two duplex LC-type receptacles. For SONET/SDH single-mode and multimode
optical fiber connections, you can use either a duplex LC-type cable (see Figure 1-3) or two simplex
LC-type cables, one for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).

Chapter 1 Overview
Identifying Interface Addresses

This section describes how to identify interface addresses for the PA-POS-2OC3 in supported platforms.
Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on a PA-POS-2OC3 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-POS-2OC3 installed in a VIP or FlexWAN module maintain the same address
regardless of whether other interface processors or modules are installed or removed. However, when
you move a VIP or FlexWAN module to a different slot, the interface processor or module slot number
changes to reflect the new interface processor or module 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:
• Cisco 7200 VXR Routers Interface Addresses, page 1-21
• Cisco 7200 VXR Routers with the Port Adapter Jacket Card Interface Addresses, page 1-21
• Cisco 7201 Router Interface Addresses, page 1-22
• Cisco 7301 Router Interface Addresses, page 1-22
• Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card Interface Addresses, page 1-22
• Cisco 7401ASR Router Interface Addresses, page 1-22
• Cisco 7500 Series Routers VIP Interface Addresses, page 1-22
• Cisco 7600 Series Routers FlexWAN Module Interface Addresses, page 1-23
Table 1-3 summarizes the interface address formats for the supported platforms.

1. Port adapter slot 0 is reserved for the Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller (if present).
2. Port adapter slot 0 can accept the Port Adapter Jacket Card if an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 are installed, but becomes slot 5 on a Cisco 7204VXR router when
a port adapter is installed or slot 7 on a Cisco 7206VXR router when a port adapter is installed.
3. Port adapter slot 0 is reserved for the Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller (if present).
4. Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine. If a redundant supervisor engine is used, it must go in slot 2; otherwise, slot 2 can be used for other modules.
Cisco 7200 VXR Routers Interface Addresses

In Cisco 7200VXR 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 4 for the Cisco 7204VXR,
and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206VXR. 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—if
present.) See Figure 1-4
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format
port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3. For example, if a PA-POS-2OC3 is
installed in slot 1 and the ports are to be two dual independent ports, the interface addresses would be
1/0 and 1/1.
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 1-5
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 and the ports are to be two dual independent ports, the interface addresses would
be 5/0 and 5/1(slot 5 and interface port 0 and 1). If a PA-POS-2OC3 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 addresses would be 7/0 and 7/1 (slot 7 and interface port 0 and 1).

Chapter 1 Overview
Cisco 7201 Router Interface Addresses

In the Cisco 7201 router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered as slot 1. See Figure 1-6.

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 1-8.
module-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3. For example, if a PA-POS-2OC3 is installed
in the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card in Cisco 7304 router module slot 3 and the ports are to
be two dual independent ports, the interface addresses would be 3/0 and 3/1.
Cisco 7401ASR Router Interface Addresses

In the Cisco 7401ASR router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered as slot 1. See
Figure 1-9.
installed in a Cisco 7401ASR router and the ports are to be two dual independent ports, the interface
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 1-10,
Figure 1-11, Figure 1-12, and Figure 1-13.
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 1-3.
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).

1-22 OL-3028-06
Chapter 1 Overview
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-POS-2OC3 is a dual-port port adapter,
therefore the port can be 0 or 1.
For example, if a PA-POS-2OC3 is installed in a VIP in interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1,
and the ports are to be two dual independent ports, the interface addresses would be 3/1/0 and 3/1/1.
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 are horizontally oriented, all Cisco 7500 series
routers use the same method for slot and port numbering.
Cisco 7600 Series Routers FlexWAN Module Interface Addresses

In Cisco 7600 series routers, port adapters are installed in a FlexWAN or Enhanced FlexWAN module,
which installs in module slots 2 through 13 (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 or Enhanced FlexWAN
module. See Figure 1-14, Figure 1-15, Figure 1-16, and Figure 1-17.
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 1-3.
The first number identifies the module slot of the chassis in which the FlexWAN module is installed (slot
2 through slot 3, 6, 9, or 13 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-POS-2OC3 is a
dual-port port adapter, therefore the port can be 0 or 1.
For example, if a PA-POS-2OC3 is installed in the FlexWAN module, which is inserted in module slot
3, port adapter bay 0, and the ports are to be two dual independent ports, then the interface addresses of
the port adapter would be 3/0/0 and 3/0/1 (module slot 3, port adapter bay 0, and interfaces 0 and 1).

Safety Guidelines
Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
• Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

2-10 OL-3028-06
Safety Guidelines
Telephone Wiring Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or
to other network cabling:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules
consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to
protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
• When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental
removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are
properly seated.
• When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
connectors.
• Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container.
If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding
container.
• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects
components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

Removing and Installing Port Adapters
This chapter describes how to remove the PA-POS-2OC3 port adapter from supported platforms, how to
install a new or replacement port adapter, and how to connect cables. This chapter contains the following
sections:
• Handling Port Adapters, page 3-1
• Online Insertion and Removal, page 3-2
• Warnings and Cautions, page 3-3
• Port Adapter Removal and Installation, page 3-4
• Connecting PA-POS-2OC3 Interface Cables, page 3-15
• Replacing the SFP Optics Module, page 3-16
Handling Port Adapters

Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) damage.
Note When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router or
switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper
airflow across the port adapters. If you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you
must first remove the blank port adapter.
Caution When powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the midplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 181

Online Insertion and Removal
Several platforms support online insertion and removal (OIR) of port adapters; therefore, you do not
have to power down routers when removing and replacing the PA-POS-2OC3 in the Cisco 7200 VXR
routers, Cisco 7201 router, Cisco 7301 router, and Cisco 7401ASR router.
Although the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, Cisco 7500 series VIP module, and the
Cisco 7600 series FlexWAN module and Enhanced FlexWAN module support OIR, the
individual port adapters when installed on them, do not. To replace port adapters installed on any of
these carrier cards, you must first remove the carrier card, VIP, FlexWAN or Enhanced FlexWAN from
the router and then install or replace port adapters as required.
If a blank port adapter is installed in the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, VIP, or FlexWAN or
Enhanced FlexWAN, you must first remove the carrier card, VIP, FlexWAN, or Enhanced FlexWAN
from the router, then remove the blank port adapter, and then replace it with the port adapter.
Caution To prevent system problems, do not remove port adapters from the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier
card, VIP, FlexWAN or Enhanced FlexWAN module or attempt to install other port adapters while the
system is operating.
It is a good idea to shut down the port adapter before removing a port adapter that has active traffic
moving through it. Removing a port adapter while traffic is flowing through the ports can cause system
disruption. When the port adapter is inserted, the ports can be brought back up.
Note OIR is not supported on the port adapter jacket card. OIR is supported on the port adapter. You must have
the chassis powered off to install or remove the port adapter jacket card.
As you disengage the port adapter from the router or switch, OIR administratively shuts down all active
interfaces in the port adapter. OIR allows you to install and replace port adapters while the router is
operating; you do not need to notify the software or shut down the system power, although you should
not run traffic through the port adapter you are removing while it is being removed. OIR is a method that
is seamless to end users on the network, maintains all routing information, and preserves sessions.
The following is a functional description of OIR for background information only; for specific
procedures for installing and replacing a port adapter in a supported platform, refer to the “Port Adapter
Removal and Installation” section on page 3-4.

3-2 OL-3028-06
Warnings and Cautions
Each port adapter has a bus connector that connects it to the router. The connector has a set of tiered pins
in three lengths that send specific signals to the system as they make contact with the port adapter. The
system assesses the signals it receives and the order in which it receives them to determine if a port
adapter is being removed from or introduced to the system. From these signals, the system determines
whether to reinitialize a new interface or to shut down a disconnected interface.
Specifically, when you insert a port adapter, the longest pins make contact with the port adapter first, and
the shortest pins make contact last. The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it
receives them.
When you remove or insert a port adapter, the pins send signals to notify the system of changes. The
router then performs the following procedure:
1. Rapidly scans the system for configuration changes.
2. Initializes newly inserted port adapters or administratively shuts down any vacant interfaces.
3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the port adapter back to their previously installed
state. Any newly inserted interface is put in the administratively shutdown state, as if it were present
(but not configured) at boot time. If a similar port adapter type is reinserted into a slot, its ports are
configured and brought online up to the port count of the originally installed port adapter of that
type.
Note Before you begin installation, read the “Required Tools and Equipment” section on page 2-1 for a list of
parts and tools required for installation.
Warnings and Cautions

Observe all the warnings and cautions when installing or removing port adapters.
Caution Do not slide a port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying
to do so disrupts normal operation of the router or switch.
Caution If a port adapter lever or other retaining mechanism does not move to the locked position, the port
adapter is not completely seated in the midplane. Carefully pull the port adapter halfway out of the slot,
reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever or other mechanism to the locked position.
Caution To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to
ensure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connection at the rear of the
port adapter slot, make certain that the carrier is positioned correctly, as shown in the cutaway
illustrations in the “Port Adapter Removal and Installation” section on page 3-4.
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Step 2 To remove the port adapter from the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, turn the port adapter lock
from its locked and horizontal position shown in A of Figure 3-5 to its unlocked and vertical position
shown in B of Figure 3-5.
Step 3 Grasp the handle of the port adapter and pull the port adapter from the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter
carrier card. (You have already disconnected the cables from the port adapter when removing the
Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card).
Step 4 To insert the port adapter in the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, locate the guide rails inside
the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card that hold the port adapter in place. They are at the top left
and top right of the port adapter slot and are recessed about an inch, as shown in C of Figure 3-5.
Step 5 Carefully slide the port adapter in the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card until the port adapter
makes contact with the port adapter interface connector. When fully seated, the port adapter front panel
should be flush with the face of the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card.
Step 6 After the port adapter is properly seated, turn the port adapter lock to its locked and horizontal position,
as shown in A of Figure 3-5.

Connecting PA-POS-2OC3 Interface Cables
Connecting PA-POS-2OC3 Interface Cables

To continue your PA-POS-2OC3 installation, you must connect the interface cables. The instructions
that follow apply to all supported platforms.
Note Optical fiber cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial
cable vendors. For more information on the cables you should use with this port adapter, see the “Cables
and Connectors” section on page 1-6.
To connect cables to the Cisco PA-POS-2OC3, attach either one duplex optical fiber cable or two simplex
optical fiber cables between the Cisco PA-POS-2OC3 interface port on your PA-POS-2OC3 and your
network. (See Figure 3-6.)
Make sure that the receive (RX) cable goes to RX LC-type receptacle and transmit (TX) cable goes to
TX LC-type receptacle on the PA-POS-2OC3.

Replacing the SFP Optics Module

The following section describes how to remove and install the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optics
modules in the PA-POS-2OC3.
Note The SFP optics modules used with the PA-POS-2OC3 have LC type connectors
The SFP optics modules support online insertion and removal (OIR). However, if the port adapter is
already installed in the router and the system is operational, we recommend that you administratively
shut down the SFP port before installing a new SFP optics module.
Available Cisco SFP optics modules include the following:
• POM-OC3-MM (short range, multimode fiber)
• POM-OC3-SMIR (intermediate range, single-mode fiber)
• POM-OC3-SMLR (long range, single-mode fiber)
Handling the SFP Optics Module

Before handling the SFP optics module, observe the following guidelines:
• SFP optics modules are static-sensitive. To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, follow
your normal board- and component-handling procedures.
• SFP optics modules are dust-sensitive. When storing an SFP optics module or when a fiber-optics
cable is not plugged into the connector, always keep plugs in the SFP optical bores.
Note The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris picked up on the ferrules of the
optical connectors. Use an alcohol swab or lint-free absorbent wipes to clean the ferrules of the optical
connector.
Removing the SFP Optics Module

The following procedure describes removing the SFP optics module from a vertically or horizontally
oriented card slot.
Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
Statement 1040
Caution You can remove and install SFP optics modules with power on to the system; however, we strongly
recommend that you do not remove or install a SFP optics module with optical fiber cables attached.

3-16 OL-3028-06
To remove the SFP optics module, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD connection socket on the chassis or to a bare
metal surface on the chassis or frame
Step 2 Disconnect the network fiber cable from the SFP optics module connector.
Step 3 Remove the SFP optics module from the slot.
a. Using your thumb and forefinger, grip the colored latching band on the front of the SFP optics
module.
b. Gently push the latching band back toward the SFP slot. You may hear a click or feel the SFP optics
module disengage from the holding latch.
Note Not all SFP modules have the same kind of latching mechanism.
c. While still holding the latching band, pull the SFP optics module forward and out of the slot.
Step 4 Set the SFP optics module aside on an antistatic surface.
Installing the SFP Optics Module

Use the following procedure to install the SFP optics modules:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.
Step 2 Verify that you have the correct SFP for your installation.
a. Check the part number and distance information on the SFP optics module label.
b. Or, if the distance information isn’t on the label, use the show controller pos x/y command to
display the information after the SFP optics module is installed. See “Verifying the SFP Installation”
section on page 3-18 for directions.
Step 3 Align the SFP optics module with the slot so that the label is facing away from the handle.
Step 4 Holding the module at the latching band (with your thumb and forefinger), insert the SFP optics module
into the slot on the port adapter. See Figure 3-7.
Step 5 Push the module back into the slot until the latch engages. When fully inserted, only the band around the
front of the SFP optics module is visible.
Step 6 Remove the plug from the SFP optical bores and save the plug for future use.
Step 7 Attach the network interface fiber-optics cable, as described in the “Connecting PA-POS-2OC3 Interface
Cables” section on page 3-15.

Verifying the SFP Installation
There are two ways that you can verify the SFP installation,
• Check the type of SFP installed using the console
• Cable SFP and check the LEDs on the front of the PA-POS-2OC3 port adapter
To verify the SFP installation in the PA-POS-2OC3 port adapter:
Step 1 Verify the type of SFP that is installed, enter show controller pos x/y (example: 2/0).
Step 2 Check the text in the out put to verify the type of SFP that is installed.
The following information appears.
(omitted text)
NPE-400#show controller pos 2/0
<< omitted text >>
ipv62tag optimum fs = 0x612C6754, ipv62tagfs = 0x612C6754

Serial Number : 2019661
Framer is PMC PM5379 S/UNI-4x155 1 0
<< omitted text >>

3-18 OL-3028-06
Step 3 Verify that the SFP is functioning, check that the RCV LED is green.
Note The green (RCV) LED is turned on only if the cable is connected and the link is up. The orange
(ALARM) LED is turned on by the software if there are SONET alarms on the interface.
Step 4 Verify that the cabling is correct—single-mode to single-mode or multimode to multimode.
Note If the wavelengths of the SFP are matched but different modes are used (multimode to single-mode or
vise versa), the SFP functions but not reliably.

Configuring the PA-POS-2OC3
To continue your port adapter installation you must configure the Packet-over-SONET (POS) interfaces.
The following instructions apply to all supported platforms. Minor differences among the
platforms—with Cisco IOS software commands—are noted.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Using the EXEC Command Interpreter, page 4-1
• Configuring the Interfaces, page 4-2
• Customizing the Configuration, page 4-5
• Checking the Configuration, page 4-8
• Push/Pull Mode Description, page 4-30
• PA-POS-2OC3 Statistics Counters, page 4-30
• PA-POS-2OC3 Error Messages, page 4-31
• Making a Back-to-Back Connection, page 4-32
Using the EXEC Command Interpreter

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 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.
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#

OL-3028-06 4-1
Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-POS-2OC3
Configuring the Interfaces
To configure the new interfaces, proceed to the “Configuring the Interfaces” section on page 4-2.

After you verify that the new PA-POS-2OC3 is installed correctly (the ENABLED LED goes on), use
the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Have the following information
available:
• IP addresses, if you plan to configure the interface for IP routing
• MTU size
• Framing mode
• Transmit clock source
• Loopback modes (if testing is required)
If you installed a new PA-POS-2OC3 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-POS-2OC3 that
was previously configured, the system recognizes the new interfaces and brings each of them up in their
existing configurations.
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the interfaces on
a PA-POS-2OC3, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the “Related
Documentation” section on page iv.
You execute configuration commands from the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, which
usually requires password access. (See the “Using the EXEC Command Interpreter” section on page 4-1
for an explanation of the privileged level of the EXEC.) Contact your system administrator, if necessary,
to obtain password access.
On power up, the OC-3 interface on a new PA-POS-2OC3 is shut down. To enable the interfaces, you
must enter the no shutdown command in configuration mode. (See “Performing a Basic Interface
Configuration” section on page 4-3.) When the OC-3 interface is enabled (taken out of shutdown) with
no additional arguments, the default interface configuration file parameters look like those in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 PA-POS-2OC3 Configuration Default Values
Parameter1 Configuration Commands Default Value

MTU mtu bytes (no mtu bytes) 4470 bytes
Framing pos framing sdh (no pos framing sdh) SONET framing
Loopback internal loop internal (no loop internal) No internal loopback
Loopback line loop line (no loop line) No line loopback
Transmit clocking source clock source internal Loop timing
clock source line
Cyclic redundancy checks crc 16 crc 16
crc 32
SONET payload scrambling pos scramble-atm (no pos No scrambling
scramble-atm)
1. These default parameters apply to the PA-POS-2OC3 in all supported platforms.

4-2 OL-3028-06
Performing a Basic Interface Configuration

Following are instructions for performing a basic configuration, which include enabling an interface
(with the no shutdown command) and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other
configuration commands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the
protocols you plan to route on the interface. For complete descriptions of configuration commands and
the configuration options available for the interfaces of your port adapter, 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>
Note The Cisco 7200 VXR Port Adapter Jacket Card requires no configuration. Configure a port adapter in it
as you would any other port adapter.
Step 1 Enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be 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 new interface to configure by entering the interface pos subcommand, followed by the
interface address of the interface you plan to configure.
Table 4-2 gives examples of the interface pos subcommand for the supported platforms.

1. For the Cisco 7206VXR router shelves, the interface specified in the above example would include a shelf number. For example, the command interface
pos 5/3/0 specifies the OC-3 interface of the PA-POS-2OC3 in port adapter slot 3 of router shelf 5.
2. Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine. If a redundant supervisor engine is used, it must go in slot 2; otherwise, slot 2 can be used for other modules.
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 configuration subcommand, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.10 255.255.255.255
Step 4 Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
The no shutdown command passes an enable command to the interface and causes the
Cisco PA-POS-2OC3 port adapter to configure itself based on the previous configuration commands
sent.
Step 5 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the
interface characteristics.
Step 6 After including all of the configuration commands 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 7 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.

4-4 OL-3028-06
Customizing the Configuration

You can customize the default values of all configuration parameters to match your network
environment. Use the interface subcommands in the following sections if you need to customize the
PA-POS-2OC3 configuration:
• Setting the MTU Size, page 4-5
• Configuring Framing, page 4-6
• Setting the Source of the Transmit Clock, page 4-6
• Configuring Cyclic Redundancy Checks, page 4-6
• Configuring SONET Payload Scrambling, page 4-7
• Configuring APS, page 4-7
Note The interface subcommands that follow function the same regardless of the platform in which your
PA-POS-2OC3 is installed; however, all these commands require that you first enter the interface pos
command to select the interface that you want to configure.
In all the configuration examples that follow, the interface address argument for the interface pos
command is for a Cisco 7200 VXR router: 3/0 (port adapter slot 3, interface 0).
For the appropriate interface pos command syntax to use for your particular platform, see Table 4-2 on
page 4-3.
Setting the MTU Size
Note The default value, 4470 bytes, exactly matches the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the fiber
distributed data interface (FDDI) and high-speed serial interface (HSSI) interfaces for autonomous
switching.
The default MTU size is 4470 bytes.
Step 1 To set the MTU size, enter the mtu bytes command, where bytes is a value in the range of 64 to 9216.
Router(config-if)# mtu 3000
Step 2 To restore the default of 4470 bytes, enter the no mtu command.

OL-3028-06 4-5
Configuring Framing
The default framing value is SONET STS-3c.
Step 1 To configure for SDH STM-1, enter the pos framing sdh command:
Router(config-if)# pos framing sdh
Step 2 To change back to SONET STS-3c, enter the no pos framing sdh command.
Setting the Source of the Transmit Clock

The clocking default value specifies that the PA-POS-2OC3 use the recovered receive (RX) clock to
provide transmit (TX) clocking (called loop timing).
Note If line loopback is selected, the PA-POS-2OC3 is forced into loop timing mode until the loopback is
disengaged.
Step 1 To specify that the Cisco PA-POS-2OC3 port adapter generate the transmit clock internally, enter the
clock source internal command:
Router(config-if)# clock source internal
Step 2 To restore loop timing, enter the no clock source internal command or the clock source line command.
Configuring Cyclic Redundancy Checks

The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) default value is a 16-bit CRC (CRC-CITT). The CRC is an
error-checking technique that uses a calculated numeric value to detect errors in transmitted data. The
PA-POS-2OC3 also supports a 32-bit CRC. The sender of a data frame calculates the frame check
sequence (FCS). The sender appends the FCS value to outgoing messages. The receiver recalculates the
FCS and compares it to the FCS from the sender. If a difference exists, the receiver assumes that a
transmission error occurred and sends a request to the sender to resend the frame.
Step 1 To configure an interface for a 32-bit CRC, enter the crc 32 command:
Router(config-if)# crc 32
Step 2 To disable the 32-bit CRC and return the interface to the default 16-bit CRC, enter the no crc 32
command.

Configuring SONET Payload Scrambling

The default value for SONET payload scrambling is disabled. SONET payload scrambling applies a
self-synchronous scrambler (x^43+1) to the Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) of the OC-3 interface
to ensure sufficient bit-transition density.
Note Both ends of the connection must use the same scrambling algorithm.
You enable SONET payload scrambling using the pos scramble-atm command. (This command has no
keywords or arguments.)
Step 1 To enable SONET payload scrambling, use the following command sequence:
Router(config-if)# pos scramble-atm
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# end
Step 2 To verify that SONET payload scrambling is enabled on an interface, enter the show startup-config
command. If scrambling is enabled, the following line is displayed in the configuration:
pos scramble-atm
Step 3 To disable SONET payload scrambling, use the no pos scramble-atm command.
Configuring APS
The automatic protection switching (APS) feature allows switchover of packet-over-SONET (POS)
circuits in the event of circuit failure and is often required when connecting SONET equipment to telco
equipment. APS refers to the mechanism of using a protect POS interface in the SONET network as the
backup for working POS interface. When the working interface fails, the protect interface quickly
assumes its traffic load.
The following example shows the configuration of APS on router A and router B. (See Figure 4-1.) In
this example, router A is configured with the working interface, and router B is configured with the
protect interface. If the working interface on router A becomes unavailable, the connection will
automatically switch over to the protect interface on router B.

OL-3028-06 4-7
Checking the Configuration
On router A, which contains the working interface, use the following configuration:
Router(config)# interface loopback 1
Router(config)# interface pos 2/0/0
Router(config-if)# aps group 1
Router(config-if)# aps working 1
Router(config-if)# pos ais-shut
Router#
On router B, which contains the protect interface, use the following configuration:
Router(config)# interface loopback 2
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0
Router(config-if)# aps group 1
Router(config-if)# aps protect 1 10.7.7.7
Router(config-if)# pos ais-shut
Router#
Note The loopback interface is used as the interconnect. The aps group command is used even when a single
protect group is configured.
To verify the configuration or to determine if a switch over has occurred, use the show aps command.
For more information on SONET APS, see the following documents:
• Automatic Protection Switching of Packet-over-SONET Circuits at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1824/products_feature_guide09186a0080087

• Configuring Redundancy for POS/APS at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk607/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094c54.shtml

After configuring the new interface, use show commands to display the status of the new interface or all
interfaces, and use the ping command and loopback commands to check connectivity. This section
includes the following subsections:
• Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status, page 4-9
• Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity, page 4-29
• Using loopback Commands, page 4-29
For complete command descriptions and examples, refer to the publications listed in the “Related
Documentation” section on page iv.

Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity

You can use the ping command to verify that an interface port is functioning properly. This section
provides a brief description of this command. Refer to the publications listed in the “Related
Documentation” section on page iv 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), and repeat the ping command.
Using loopback Commands

The loopback test allows you to troubleshoot, detect, and isolate equipment malfunctions by testing the
connection between the OC-3 interface and a remote device. The loopback command places an interface
in internal loopback (also called local loopback) or line loopback mode, which enables test packets that
are generated from the ping command to loop through a remote device or a cable. If the packets complete
the loop, the connection is good. If not, you can isolate a fault to the remote device or the cable in the
path of the loopback test.
Note Engaging line loopback automatically switches the interface to loop timing. The interface switches back
to the user-specified timing source once the loopback is disengaged.
Configuring an Interface for Internal Loopback

The default loopback setting is for no loopback. With internal (or local) loopback, packets from the
router are looped back in the framer. Outgoing data gets looped back to the receiver without actually
being transmitted. Internal loopback is useful for checking that the PA-POS-2OC3 is working.
Step 1 To configure an interface for internal loopback, enter the loop internal command:
Router(config-if)# loop internal
Step 2 To disable internal loopback, enter the no loop internal command.

OL-3028-06 4-29
Push/Pull Mode Description
Configuring an Interface for Line Loopback
Note Engaging line loopback automatically switches the interface to loop timing. It switches back to the
user-specified timing source when the loopback is disengaged.
The default loopback setting is for no loopback. With line loopback, the receive (RX) fiber is logically
connected to the transmit (TX) optical fiber cable so that packets from the remote router are looped back
to it. Incoming data gets looped around and retransmitted to the remote end omitting the received part
which is of no significance.
Step 1 To configure an interface for line loopback, enter the loop line command:
Router(config-if)# loop line
Step 2 To disable line loopback, enter the no loop line command.
For more information about interface subcommands and the configuration options available for the
individual platforms, refer to the publications listed in the “Related Documentation” section on page iv.
Push/Pull Mode Description

The PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 port adapters support a different algorithm (from that of most
port adapters) for handling data. On the transmit side, it can either pull packets from the CPU (Pull
mode) or push packets from the CPU to the port adapter (Push mode). The PA-POS-2OC3 and
PA-POS-1OC3 port adapters were developed with a software architecture that deviates from the design
of previously developed port adapters. A majority of the port adapters allow data to be pulled from the
CPU to their interfaces. By default, the TX DMA mode is Pull for NPE-G1 and Push for NPE-G2. You
cannot change the default TX DMA modes for NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 using the dma model pull enable
command. For NPE-G1, the TX DMA mode is always Pull and for NPE-G2, the TX DMA mode is
always Push.
This functioanlity is implemented startingwith the following Cisco IOS Releases: 12.4(24)T01,
12.4(22)T02, 12.4(20)T03, 12.2(33)SRD02, 12.2(33)SRC04, 12.2(33)SB07, and 12.2(31)SB16.
If you run the dma model pull enable command on NPE-G1, the running configuration shows that the
Pull mode is enabled otherwise the information about Pull mode is not displayed in the running
configuration. Running the dma model pull enable command on NPE-G2 results in an error message.
Caution Only customers who have been advised by Cisco to use this CLI should do so. If you have not been
advised by Cisco to use the dma model pull enable command, do not do so.
PA-POS-2OC3 Statistics Counters

The PA-POS-2OC3 maintains counts of certain errors. Each error counter is 16 bits. Errors include the
following:

4-30 OL-3028-06
PA-POS-2OC3 Error Messages
• CRC errors—Packet corrupted in reception

• Giants received—Packet length too large (greater than 16 KB)
• Runts—Packet length too small (less than or equal to 4 bytes)
• Ignores—No receive buffers available; receive buffers full
PA-POS-2OC3 Error Messages

The only error message you should see is of the following type and format:
%POS-0-MSG:%DEBUGGER-0-STACK_DATA8: 00E0 FFFFFFFF 80057F50 00000000 00000000 FFFFFFFF

Making a Back-to-Back Connection
Making a Back-to-Back Connection

This section provides an example of two sample configuration files from a Cisco 7200 VXR router and
a Cisco 7401ASR router connected back-to-back through their OC-3 interfaces.
Step 1 To connect two PA-POS-2OC3-equipped routers back to back, attach the appropriate cable between the
OC-3 interface port on each PA-POS-2OC3.
By default, the PA-POS-2OC3 uses loop timing mode.
Step 2 To specify that the Cisco PA-POS-2OC3 port adapter generates the transmit clock internally, add the
clock source internal command to your configuration (see the first router example above: clock source
internal).
Note For back-to-back operation, at least one of the connected OC-3 interfaces must be configured to supply
its internal clock to the line.
