C H A P TER 1 Overview This chapter provides physical and functional overviews of the PA-2H dual-port high-speed serial interface (HSSI) port adapter. The chapter contains the following sections: • • • Port Adapter Overview, page 1-1 LEDs, page 1-3 Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts, page 1-4 Port Adapter Overview The PA-2H dual-port HSSI port adapter provides two high-speed serial interfaces. (See Figure 1-1.) The interfaces on PA-2H are considered to be data terminal equipment (DTE) devices.
Port Adapter Overview The HSSI port adapter conforms to BABT/TC/130 and EIA/TIA-612 and EIA/TIA-613 standards for HSSI. PA-2H provides two interfaces. Each interface provides a full-duplex synchronous serial interface for transmitting and receiving data at rates of up to 52 megabits per second (Mbps). The HSSI, which was recently standardized as EIA/TIA 612/613, provides access to services at T3 (45 Mbps), E3 (34 Mbps), and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) STS-1 (51.82 Mbps) rates.
LEDs Note You should replace older PA-2H port adapters with the newer PA-2H Rev. B port adapter. Contact Cisco’s Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for replacement details. (For information on the TAC, refer to the “Cisco Connection Online” section on page vi.) LEDs This section provides information on the LEDs on the faceplate of the HSSI port adapter.
Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts This section provides information about the HSSI cables you should use with the HSSI port adapter. Two types of cables are available for use with the HSSI port adapter: the HSSI interface cable used to connect your router to an external DSU (and HSSI network) and a null modem cable, which allows you to connect two routers back to back.
HSSI Null Modem Cable HSSI Null Modem Cable The null modem cable (CAB-HNUL=) can connect two routers directly back to back. The null modem cable is 10-feet (3.048 meters) long. Figure 1-6 shows the null modem cable. The maximum null modem cable length allowed is 50 feet (15.24 meters). The two routers must be in the same location and can be two Cisco 7000 series routers, two Cisco 7500 series routers, two Cisco 7200 series routers, two Cisco uBR7200 series routers, or any combination of each.

This completes the procedure for attaching HSSI cables to the HSSI port adapter.
Configuring the HSSI Interfaces Note In the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR router shelves, you define interfaces by type and physical shelf/port adapter/port locations. For information on Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR router shelf physical port addresses, refer to the “Identifying Chassis Slot, Port Adapter Slot, and HSSI Interface Port Numbers” section on page 7-4.
Configuring the HSSI Interfaces • Whether the new interfaces will use bridging For a summary of the configuration options available, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the “If You Need More Information” section on page vii. The configure command requires privileged-level access to the EXEC command interpreter, which usually requires a password. Contact your system administrator if necessary to obtain EXEC-level access.
Identifying Chassis Slot, Port Adapter Slot, and HSSI Interface Port Numbers Note PA-2H is considered a high-bandwidth port adapter; therefore, there are specific configuration guidelines that you must observe. Refer to the publication Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration Guidelines, which shipped with your Cisco 7200 series chassis (including a Cisco 7206 as a router shelf in a Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server). This publication is also available on the Documentation CD-ROM.
Configuring the HSSI Interfaces VIP2 Ports In the router, physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router interface processor end. This address is composed of a three-part number in the format interface processor slot/port-adapter/interface port, as follows: • • • The first number identifies the interface processor slot in which the VIP2 is installed. The second number identifies the physical port adapter slot on the VIP2, and is either 0 or 1.
Configuring Interfaces Following is an example of a basic configuration procedure: Step 1 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. Router(config)# Step 2 End with CNTL/Z.
Configuring the HSSI Interfaces Note If you want to configure cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) for your port adapter, proceed to the next section, “Configuring Cyclic Redundancy Checks.” Otherwise, proceed to the “Checking the Configuration” section on page 7-8. Configuring Cyclic Redundancy Checks This section provides an example of how you can configure cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) on the HSSI port adapter. The HSSI port adapter uses a 16-bit CRC by default; it also supports a 32-bit CRC.
Checking the Configuration Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and operating correctly: Step 1 Use the show version command to display the system hardware configuration. Ensure that the list includes the new interfaces. Step 2 For the Cisco 7200 series and Cisco uBR7200 series routers, display all the current port adapters and their interfaces with the show controllers command.
Configuring the HSSI Interfaces Cisco 7200 Series and Cisco uBR7200 Series show Commands Following is an example of how the show interfaces [type slot/port] command displays status information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interfaces you specify. The following example of the show interfaces hssi type slot/port command shows all of the information specific to the PA-2H HSSI port adapter in port adapter slot 2. (Interfaces are administratively shut down until you enable them.
Checking the Configuration Use the show version command to display the configuration of the system hardware (the number of each port adapter type installed), the software version, the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images. Following is an example of the output from the show version command: Router# show version Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) 7200 Software (C7200-J-M), Version 11.1(12)CA1 Copyright (c) 1986-1996 by cisco Systems, Inc.
Configuring the HSSI Interfaces Note For complete command descriptions and examples for the Cisco 7200 series routers and Cisco uBR7200 series routers, refer to the documentation resources listed in the “If You Need More Information” section on page vii. Proceed to the “Using the ping Command” section on page 7-17 to verify that each interface port is functioning properly.
