Multichannel E3 Port Adapter for Cisco 7200 and 7500 Series Routers
The family of multichannel interfaces decrease cost and increase manageability of WAN links by:
•
Eliminating the need for any external CSU/DSUs or multiplexers
•Providing up to 128 software configurable WAN connections per single-wide port adapter
•Supporting both clear channel T1/E1 connections and channelized T1/E1 connections on the same card
•Handling all major encapsulations including ISDN and Frame Relay
With these capabilities, the family of multichannel interfaces eliminate the need for separate interface types for separate connection types. At a cost per
T1/E1 port less than that of a standard serial port with external CSU/DSU, Cisco's family of multichannel interfaces are cost-effective for all WAN connectivity.
In Cisco's multichannel interface family are versions to support physical connectivity to T3 lines, E3 lines, T1 lines and E1 lines. For direct termination to E3 lines, Cisco's multichannel E3 card terminates 16 E1 lines multiplexed onto a single 75 ohm G.703 E3 interface.
The 128 channels of this multichannel E3 port adapter can be allocated among clear channel E1 links, Nx64K links, or ISDN PRI links. For a single clear channel E1 link, only one of the 128 channels is consumed. For each Nx64K connection, a single channel is consumed. In channelized E1 mode, multiple NxDS0 connections can be supported on a single E1. Fractional E1 mode is also supported where Nx64K of bandwidth consumes an entire E1 link. Each E1 used as ISDN PRI consumes either 30 channels respectively, one per B channel and one for the D channel.
