Cisco PA-MCX-8TE1 8-Port Mix-Enabled MultiChannel T1/E1 CSU/DSU Module

The Cisco multiservice interchange (MIX)-enabled T1/E1 port adapters for the Cisco 7200 VXR series routers provide high-capacity, large-scale voice and data aggregation across wan interfaces, and interconnection to private branch exchanges (PBXs) and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

The PA-MCX has the following features: Universal ports: Eight interface ports per port adapter are configurable as either T1 (with integrated CSU/DSU) or E1 (with an integrated G.703/G.704 120-ohm interface). Additionally, a port may be configured on a per-DS0 basis for voice termination, TDM pass-through (cross-connect), or data. MIX support: Voice channels can be TDM switched between port-adapter slots in the Cisco 7200 VXR chassis. This allows DSP resources to be shared between port adapters in the same chassis or for port-to-port DS0 crossconnect between port-adapter slots. DS0 "drop and insert": Flexible TDM cross-connect capability between ports and the MIX bus is available. Multiple clocking options: Ports can be clocked internally from the network, or the network clock from one port can be sent to the other port on the card or to other cards across the MIX bus in the Cisco 7200 VXR chassis. Signaling Supported: T1 CAS (robbed-bit signaling), E1 CAS-R2, PRI (user and network side), Transparent CCS, Q.SIG, FG-D, Multi-D channel Port Configured with T1 Features: DS1 100-ohm interfaces with RJ-48c connectors, D4 Super Frame (SF) and Extended Superframe (ESF) framing, Alternate-mark-inversion (AMI) or binary-8-zero-substitution (B8ZS) line encoding, Full facility-data-link (FDL) support and FDL performance monitoring per ANSI T1.403 or AT&T TR 54016, Selectable DSX-1 cable length in increments from 0 to 655 feet, Selectable DS1 CSU line build-out: 0, -7.5, -15, and -22.5 dB, Selectable DS1 CSU receiver gain: 26 or 36 dB, DS1 line protection per UL1459/1950, FCC part 68, Full support for DSX-1 Management Information Base (MIB), RFC 1406, including alarm detection and reporting, DSX-1 MIB remote access supported, DS0 drop and insert Port Configured with E1 Features: E1 120-ohm (G.703) with RJ-48c connectors, Software-configurable E1 national bits, HDB3, AMI encoding, CRC4 and non-CRC4 framing, Full support for E1 MIB, RFC 1406, including alarm detection and reporting, DS0 drop and insert Full Bit-Error, Rate-Testing Capabilities on Each E1/T1: Programmable pseudo-random pattern up to 24-bits long, including 211-1, 215-1, 220-1, 220-1 QRSS, 233-1, all zeros, all ones, alternating ones and zeros, 32-bit-error count registers, Supported Loopbacks, Line loopback: The T1/E1 stream is looped back at the LIU toward the network. Payload loopback: The T1/E1 data stream is looped back at the framer toward the network. Diagnostic local loopback: The T1/E1 data stream is looped back at the framer toward the system. Remote loopback: The T1 stream is looped back at the LIU toward the network upon request from the far end via FDL command.
