This chapter describes the T1and E1 port adapters that are supported in the following systems:
This chapter includes the following sections:
The ATM switch supports any port adapter combination required. Table 9-1 identifies the maximum number of T1 and E1 interface ports supported in each system.
| System Type | Max. No. of T1 and E1 Interface Ports |
|---|---|
Catalyst 8540 MSR | 64 |
Catalyst 8510 MSR | 32 |
Catalyst 5500 | 32 |
LightStream 1010 | 32 |
Figure 9-1 shows a T1 trunk port adapter that supports UTP connectors.

The T1 and E1 port adapters provide ATM connectivity to the WAN through T1 or E1 trunk lines, as shown in Figure 9-2.

The T1 port adapter meets the following regulatory approvals and compliances:
The T1 port adapter meets Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment (JATE) approval. See Table 9-2 for JATE approval details for the T1 port adapter.

The T1 port adapter complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the tray of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin services. Connection to the Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company notifies you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service might be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company notifies you as soon as possible. Also, you are advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company can make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company provides advance notice so you can make the necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact us for repair and warranty information. If the trouble is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company can request that you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is resolved.
We recommend that you install an AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This is to avoid equipment damage caused by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
This equipment uses Uniform Service Order Code (USOC) jacks as shown in Table 9-3.
| Model No. | Facility Interface Code | Service Order Code | Jack Type |

This section describes supported cabling configurations for the T1 (1.544-Mbps) and E1 (2.048-Mbps) ATM port adapters, which provide T1 UTP, E1 UTP, and E1 coaxial connections.
The T1 and E1 port adapters provide an interface to ATM switching fabrics for transmitting and receiving data at 1.544 and 2.048 Mbps bidirectionally. The actual data rate is determined by the physical layer interface module (PLIM). The T1 and E1 port adapters can support interfaces that connect to the following physical layers:
![]() | Caution The T1 and E1 ports must be connected to a network termination unit (NTU). NTU devices should comply with UL 1950, CSA 950, EN 60950, and IEC 950 standards. |
For T1 and E1 trunks, use an RJ-48 connector and UTP cable to connect the T1 and E1 trunk port adapter with the WAN or other switches. (See Figure 9-3.)
For BNC E1 connections, use the 75-ohm, RG-59 coaxial cable with bayonet-style, twist-lock (BNC) connectors to connect the E1 port adapter with the WAN or external ATM switch.

The LEDs provide status information for the individual T1 and E1 interface connections. The LEDs are shown in Figure 9-3 and described in Table 9-4.
| LED | State | Description |
|---|---|---|
Off | Carrier detect signal not received | |
Off | No receive line activity | |
Off | No transmit line activity |
| 1LOF = loss of frame 2LCD = loss of cell delineation 3AIS = alarm indication signal 4FERF = far-end receive failure |
