To continue your PA-4T+ port adapter installation, you must configure the serial interfaces. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. Minor differences between the platforms are noted.
This chapter contains the following sections:
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 is 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:
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#
After you verify that the new PA-4T+ is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Be prepared with the information you will need, such as the following:
If you installed a new PA-4T+ or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must enter configuration mode using the configure command. If you replaced a PA-4T+ that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new PA-4T+ interfaces and bring each of them up in their existing configuration.
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring interfaces on the PA-4T+, 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.)
Before you remove an interface that you will not replace, replace a compact serial cable, or replace port adapters, use the shutdown command to shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured interface processor. 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 2 At the privileged-level prompt, 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 3 Shut down interfaces by entering the interface serial subcommand (followed by the interface address of the interface), and then enter the shutdown command. Table 5-1 shows the command syntax.
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.

Step 6 Reenable the interfaces by doing the following:
a. Repeat Step 3 to reenable 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. Proceed to the following section to configure the new interfaces.
Following are instructions for a basic interface configuration: enabling an interface, specifying IP routing, and setting up external timing on a DCE interface. 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>
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 interface serial subcommand, followed by the interface address of the interface you plan to configure. (The command for your port adapter may be different, for example, interface atm.) Table 5-3 provides examples.
| Platform | Command | Example |
|---|---|---|
Catalyst RSM/VIP2 in Catalyst 5000 family switches | interface serial, followed by slot/port (port-adapter-slot-number/ | The example is for the first interface of a port adapter in port adapter slot 0. Router(config)# interface serial 0/0 Router(config-if)# |

VIP2 in Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series routers | interface serial, followed by slot/port adapter/port (interface-processor-slot-number/ | The example is for the first interface of a Router(config)# interface serial 1/1/0 Router(config-if)# |
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 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.255
Step 4 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface characteristics.
|
Note If you are configuring a DTE interface, proceed to Step 6. If you are configuring a DCE interface, you need to configure the external clock signal, as described in the next step. The example in Step 5 applies to all systems in which the PA-4T+ is supported. |
Step 5 Set the clock rate with the clock rate command. (See the "Configuring Timing (Clock) Signals" section.)
Router(config-if)# clock rate 64000
Step 6 Reenable the interfaces using the no shutdown command. (See the "Shutting Down an Interface" section.)
Step 7 Configure all additional port adapter interfaces as required.
Step 8 When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) or enter end to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt.
Step 9 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.
All PA-4T+ interfaces support both DTE and DCE mode, depending on the mode of the interface cable attached to the port. To use a port as a DTE interface, you need only connect a DTE cable to the port. When the system detects the DTE mode cable, it automatically uses the external timing signal. To use a port in DCE mode, you must connect a DCE interface cable and set the clock speed with the clock rate configuration command. You must also set the clock rate to perform a loopback test. This section describes how to set the clock rate on a DCE port and, if necessary, how to invert the clock to correct a phase shift between the data and clock signals. Table 5-4 summarizes some of the commands used to configure the clock rate. See the specific sections that follow for further details.
The PA-4T+ provides four synchronous serial ports, and each port supports full-duplex operations at T1 and E1 speeds. A single port can support up to E2 speeds.
Speed is controlled by three variables:
The CSU/DSU determines the maximum speed of the full-duplex port. No configuration is necessary. If a CSU/DSU runs at a maximum speed of 1.55 Mbps (T1 speed), using only one port in the port adapter will not make this CSU/DSU run at E2 speed. On the other hand, if a CSU/DSU is capable of E2 speed (8 Mbps), this CSU/DSU will take the maximum bandwidth of the port adapter. To ensure this speed, no other port can be used. If you use another port, the speed of the CSU/DSU capable of E2 speed is reduced, because the port adapter shares the bandwidth between the two ports.
The PA-T4+ maximum speed can be attained only if the maximum aggregate speed per port adapter is 8 Mbps (E2) when only one full-duplex port is in use. When two full-duplex ports are in use, the maximum speed for each is 4 Mbps. When four full-duplex ports are in use, the maximum speed for each is 1.55 Mbps (T1) or 2.048 Mbps (E1).
| Purpose | Command | Example | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|---|
Set standard clock rate. | clock rate | The example is for a serial interface with a standard clock rate of 72 kbps. Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# clock rate 7200 | |
Set nonstandard clock rate. | clock rate | The example is for a serial interface with a nonstandard clock rate of 1234567 kbps. Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# clock rate 1234567 | |
Remove a clock rate that has been set. | no clock rate | The example is for a serial interface and removes a standard clock rate of 72 kbps. Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# clock rate 7200 Router(config-if)# no clock rate | |
Invert the transmit clock signal. | invert-txc | The example inverts the transmit clock signal for a serial interface. Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# invert-txc | |
Change the clock signal back to its original phase. | no invert-txc | The example sets the transmit clock signal for a serial interface back to its original phase. Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# no invert-txc | |
Invert the data signal. | invert data | The example inverts the data stream for both transmit and receive for a serial interface: Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# invert-txc |
The default operation on a PA-4T+ DCE interface is for the DCE device to generate its own clock signal (TxC) and send it to the remote DTE. The remote DTE device returns the clock signal to the DCE (PA-4T+). Set the clock rate of an interface using the clock rate subcommand, which specifies the clock rate as a bits-per-second value. This subcommand functions in the same way on all supported platforms.
Before you can assign a clock rate, you must use the interface serial command (followed by the interface address of the interface) to select the interface to which you want to assign the clock rate value.
In the following example, the clock rate is specified as 72 kbps:
Router(config-if)# clock rate 72000
The preceding command example applies to all systems in which the PA-4T+ is supported. Use the no clock rate command to remove the clock rate.
Following are the standard clock rates:
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 38400 , 56000 , 64000 ,
72000 , 125000 148000 , 250000, 500000, 800000, 1000000,
1300000, 2000000, 4000000, 8000000
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.

Note Cisco IOS Release 11.2(7a)P or later, or 11.1(10)CA or later loaded on your Cisco 7200 series series, Cisco 7000 series, or Cisco 7500 series router with a VIP2-40(=) support nonstandard clock rates (any value from 1200 to 8000000) on PA-4T+ interfaces. Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T or later, or 12.0(1)XE or later support nonstandard clock rates on PA-4T+ interfaces installed in Cisco 7204VXR and Cisco 7206VXR routers. Cisco IOS Release 11.3(6)NA or later loaded on your Cisco uBR7200 series router supports nonstandard clock rates (any value from 1200 to 8000000) on PA-4T+ interfaces. Nonstandard clock rates are rounded (if necessary) to the nearest clock rate that the hardware can support. |
Set a nonstandard clock rate for an interface using the clock rate subcommand. Before you can assign a nonstandard clock rate, you must use the interface serial command (followed by the interface address of the interface) to select the interface to which you want to assign the nonstandard clock rate value.
In the following example, a nonstandard clock rate of 1234567 bps is specified:
Router(config-if)# clock rate 1234567
The preceding command example applies to all systems in which the PA-4T+ is supported. Use the no clock rate command to remove the clock rate.
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.
The following example shows how to use the show running-config command to determine the exact clock rate to which the nonstandard clock rate was rounded:
Router# show running-config Building configuration... ... ! interface Serial1/0 (interface Serial3/1/0 on a VIP2 or FlexWAN module) no ip address clockrate 1151526 ! ...
In the preceding example, only the relevant output from the show running-config command is shown; other information is omitted.
Systems that use long cables or cables that are not transmitting the TxC (clock) signal might experience high error rates when operating at higher transmission speeds. If a PA-4T+ DCE port is reporting a high number of error packets, a phase shift might be the problem. Inverting the clock might correct this shift.
When the PA-4T+ interface is a DTE, the invert-txc command inverts the TxC signal it receives from the remote DCE. When the PA-4T+ interface is a DCE, this command inverts the clock signal to the remote DTE port. Use the no invert-txc command to change the clock signal back to its original phase.
If the interface on the PA-4T+ synchronous serial port adapter is used to drive a dedicated T1 line that does not have B8ZS encoding (a method to avoid 15 zeros), the data stream must be inverted (both TxD and RxD) either in the connecting CSU/DSU or the interface. To invert the data stream coming out of the PA-4T+, use the invert data command. By inverting the (HDLC) data stream, the HDLC zero insertion algorithm becomes a ones insertion algorithm that satisfies the T1 requirements.
|
Note Invert data only on the PA-4T+ interface or on the CSU/DSU; inverting both cancels out both data inversions. |
Table 5-5 summarizes NRZI format commands. For more information, see the remainder of this section.
| Purpose | Command | Example | Further Information |
|---|---|---|---|
Enable NRZI encoding. | nrzi-encoding [mark]1 | The example is for a serial interface with NRZI mark encoding specified: Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# nrzi-encoding mark The example is for a serial interface with NRZI space encoding specified: Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# nrzi-encoding | |
Disable NRZI encoding. | no nrzi-encoding | The example disables NRZI encoding on a serial interface: Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# no nrzi-encoding |
All PA-4T+ interfaces support nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) and nonreturn-to-zero inverted (NRZI) formats. Both formats use two different voltage levels for transmission. NRZ signals maintain constant voltage levels with no signal transitions (no return to a zero voltage level) during a bit interval and are decoded using absolute values (0 and 1). NRZI uses the same constant signal levels but interprets the absence of data (a space) at the beginning of a bit interval as a signal transition and the presence of data (a mark) as no transition. NRZI uses relational encoding to decode signals rather than determining absolute values.
NRZ format, the factory default on all interfaces, is most common. NRZI format, which is configured with a software command, is commonly used with EIA/TIA-232 connections in IBM environments.
Enable NRZI encoding on any interface using the nrzi-encoding [mark] command, where no argument after the command is interpreted as a signal transition, and mark is interpreted as no signal transition. This command functions in the same way on all supported platforms. Before you can enable NRZI encoding, 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 NRZI encoding.
In the example that follows, NRZI encoding with a signal transition---no argument---is specified:
Router(config-if)# nrzi-encoding
In the example that follows, NRZI encoding with no signal transition---with argument---is specified:
Router(config-if)# nrzi-encoding mark
The preceding command examples apply to all systems in which the PA-4T+ is supported. Use the no nrzi-encoding command to disable NRZI encoding.
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 complete command descriptions and instructions, refer to the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide publication. For more information, see the "Cisco Connection Online" section and the "Documentation CD-ROM" section.
Table 5-6 summarizes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) commands. For more information, see the remainder of this section.
| Purpose | Command | Example | Further Information |
|---|---|---|---|
Enable 32-bit CRC. | crc size | The example enables 32-bit CRC on a serial interface: Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# crc 32 | |
Return to default 16-bit CRC. | no crc size | The example disables 32-bit CRC on a serial interface and returns to the default 16-bit CRC: Router(config)# interface serial 3/0 Router(config-if)# no crc 32 |
CRC is an error-checking technique that uses a calculated numeric value to detect errors in transmitted data. All interfaces use a 16-bit CRC (CRC-CITT) by default, but also support a 32-bit CRC. 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.
Enable 32-bit CRC using the crc 32 command. Before you can enable 32-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 32-bit CRC. This command functions in the same way on all supported platforms.
In the example that follows, 32-bit CRC is specified:
Router(config-if)# crc 32
The preceding command example applies to all systems in which the PA-4T+ is supported. Use the no crc 32 command to disable CRC-32 and return the interface to the default CRC-16 (CRC-CITT) 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 publication. For more information, see the "Cisco Connection Online" section and the "Documentation CD-ROM" section.

Note If you are configuring a PA-4T+ in a Cisco 7200 router and you want to configure the interface for half-duplex or Bisync operation, proceed to the next section, "Configuring Half-Duplex and Binary Synchronous Communications in Cisco 7200 Series Routers"; otherwise, proceed to the "Checking the Configuration" section. |
This section explains how to configure PA-4T+ interfaces for half-duplex and Bisync operation in Cisco 7100 series and Cisco 7200 series series routers.
|
Note Cisco IOS Release 11.2(7a)P or a later release of 11.2 P supports half-duplex and Bisync operation on the PA-4T+ in Cisco 7200 routers. Cisco IOS Release 11.1(19)CC1 or a later release of 11.1 CC, or Release 11.3(4)AA or a later release of 11.3 AA supports half-duplex and Bisync operation on the PA-4T+ installed in Cisco 7202 routers. Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T or a later release of 12.0 T, or Release 12.0(2)XE or a later release of 12.0 XE supports half-duplex and Bisync operation on the PA-4T+ in Cisco 7204VXR and Cisco 7206VXR routers. The Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, Cisco 7100 series routers, Cisco uBR7200 series routers, and the VIP2 do not support half-duplex and Bisync operation on the PA-4T+. |
Use the half-duplex command to configure PA-4T+ interfaces for half-duplex mode; full-duplex mode is the default for low-speed serial interfaces. Serial DCE interfaces in half-duplex mode can be configured for controlled-carrier mode or constant-carrier mode; constant-carrier mode is the default. Controlled-carrier mode sets the PA-4T+ interface to deactivate data carrier detect (DCD) until a transmission is sent to the interface. After a transmission is received, DCD is activated and the interface waits a user-configured amount of time, and then transmits the data. After the transmission, the interface waits a user-configured amount of time and then deactivates DCD. Constant-carrier mode activates DCD at all times.
Use the half-duplex controlled-carrier command to configure a PA-4T+ interface for controlled-carrier mode. Use the no half-duplex controlled-carrier command to return the interface to constant-carrier mode.
Follow these steps to configure controlled-carrier mode on a PA-4T+ interface:
Router# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#
Step 2 Specify the interface to configure for controlled-carrier mode using the interface serial subcommand (followed by the interface address of the interface) and then enter the half-duplex controlled-carrier subcommand.
The following example is for the first interface of the port adapter in port adapter slot 1:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0 Router(config-if)# half-duplex controlled-carrier
Step 3 Specify the length of the timer delay the interface uses when it is configured for controlled-carrier mode by using the following command:
half-duplex timer {cts-delay value | cts-drop-timeout value | dcd-drop-delay value | dcd-txstart-delay value | rts-drop-delay value | rts-timeout value | transmit-delay value}
where value is the length of the timer delay in milliseconds.
The following example specifies a Data Carrier Detect (DCD) drop delay of 100 milliseconds on the first interface of a port adapter in port adapter slot 1:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0 Router(config-if)# half-duplex timer dcd-drop-delay 100 ms
Table 5-7 lists the default delay settings and the value argument for each timer you can use with the half-duplex timer command.
| Timer | Command Syntax | Default Settings1 |
|---|---|---|
CTS delay2 | half-duplex timer cts-delay | 0 |
CTS drop timeout | half-duplex timer cts-drop-timeout | 250 |
DCD drop delay3 | half-duplex timer dcd-drop-delay | 100 |
DCD transmission start delay | half-duplex timer dcd-txstart-delay | 100 |
RTS drop delay4 | half-duplex timer rts-drop-delay | 3 |
RTS timeout | half-duplex timer rts-timeout | 3 |

Step 4 Complete the configuration by pressing Ctrl-Z---hold down the Control key while you press Z---or entering end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt.
Step 5 Write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config [OK] Router#
This completes the procedure for configuring controlled-carrier mode on a PA-T4+ interface. For additional information on configuring half-duplex operation on low-speed serial interfaces, refer to the chapter "Configuring Interfaces" of the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide publication. For more information, see the "Cisco Connection Online" section and the "Documentation CD-ROM" section.
|
Note To configure PA-4T+ interfaces for Binary Synchronous (Bisync) operation in Cisco 7200 series series routers, refer to the "Block Serial Tunneling (BSTUN)" section of the "Configuring Serial Tunnel (STUN) and Block Serial Tunnel (BSTUN)" chapter of the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide. |
After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces and the ping and loopback commands to check connectivity.
This section contains the following subsections:
Table 5-8 demonstrates how you can use the show commands to verify that new interfaces are configured and operating correctly and that the PA-4T+ 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 publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.

Proceed to the next section, "Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity," to check network connectivity of the PA-4T+ 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 this command. Refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section for detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is not returned before the specified time-out 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 that the connection failed.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 10.10.10.10:
Router# ping 10.10.10.10 <Return> Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.10.10.10, 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 server and that the server is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
Proceed to the next section, "Using loopback Commands," to finish checking network connectivity.
The loopback test allows you to detect and isolate equipment malfunctions by testing the connection between the PA-4T+ interface and a remote device such as modems or CSU/DSUs. The loopback subcommand sends a series of packets out to and through the device (or cable), and back to the PA-4T+ interface. If the packets complete the loop, the connection is good. If not, you can isolate a fault to the remote device or interface cable in the path of the loopback test.
|
Note You must configure a clock rate on the port before performing a loopback test. However, if no cable is attached to the port, the port is administratively up, and the port is in loopback mode, you do not have to configure a clock rate on the port before performing a loopback test. |
Depending on the mode of the port, issuing the loopback command checks the following path:
|
Note The X.21 interface definition does not include a loopback definition. On the PA-4T+, the X.21 DTE interface does not support the loopback function. Because of the internal clock signal present on the PA-4T+ interfaces, loopback will function on an X.21 DCE interface. |
