Caution The VIP requires that the host Cisco 7000 series router have the RSP7000 and RSP7000CI installed. The VIP does not operate properly with the Route Processor (RP), Switch Processor (SP), or Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) installed in the host Cisco series router. |
The PA-T3 serial port adapter is considered a high-bandwidth port adapter; therefore, and at a minimum, Cisco recommends that the PA-T3 serial port adapter be installed on the VIP2-15 or Catalyst RSM/VIP2 motherboard (with 1 MB of SRAM and 8 MB of DRAM). Installation of the PA-T3 serial port adapter on the VIP2-10 (with 512 KB of SRAM and 8 MB of DRAM) is not recommended.
 |
Note The VIP2, VIP4, and Catalyst RSM/VIP2 supports online insertion and removal (OIR), but individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters in the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers, and the Catalyst 5000 series switches, you must first remove the VIP2 or Catalyst RSM/VIP2 from the chassis and then replace port adapters as required. OIR is supported for port adapters in the Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and Cisco uBR7200 series routers. Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is occasionally not shown in the illustrations of this publication to allow a full view of detail on the port adapter faceplate. |
In the Cisco 7000 series, Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7500 series, and Cisco uBR7200 series routers, and the Catalyst 5000 series switches, there are no restrictions on slot locations or sequence; however, in the Cisco 7200 series routers, there are specific configuration guidelines that must be observed for high-bandwidth port adapters.
For specific Cisco 7200 series routers hardware configuration information and for memory configuration guidelines, refer to the document Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration Guidelines, which shipped with your Cisco 7200 series chassis and is also available on the Cisco Connection Documentation, Enterprise Series CD-ROM.
To determine if your Cisco 7000 series, Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7500 series, Cisco 7200 series, or Cisco uBR7200 series router, or Catalyst RSM/VIP2, is compatible with the PA-T3 serial port adapter, use the show version command to display the current hardware configuration of the router, including the system software version that is currently loaded and running. You can check the version of the default ROM image by removing the board and checking the ROM labels, or by configuring the interface or system software to boot from ROM, restarting the system, and using the show version command to check the running version.
Use the show version command to display the current system software version. In the following example, the running system software is Release 11.1(16)CA.

If your system lacks the required system software and microcode, contact a customer service representative for upgrade information.
For configuration guidelines on port adapters in the Cisco 7200 series, refer to the Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration Guidelines.
The PA-T3 serial port adapter supports several types of integrated DSUs. Table 2-2 lists the feature compatibilities of the PA-T3 serial port adapter DSUs.
| DSU | Full Rate Support | Scrambling Support | Subrate Support | MDL1 Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
DL3100 | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
Kentrox | Yes | Yes2 | Yes2 | No |
Larscom | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| 1MDL=Maintenance Digital Link. 2PA-T3 serial port adapters support either scrambling or Kentrox subrate, not both at the same time. |
This section provides safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
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 comprise 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:
|
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm). |
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.
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:
