The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses issues that are classified as priority level 1 or priority level 2; these classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer will automatically open a case.
The PA-2CE1, shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2, provide up to two channelized E1 (unbalanced 75-ohm or balanced 120-ohm) or ISDN PRI interfaces for connecting Cisco 7000 series routers to channel service units (CSUs). Each 2CE1 interface can transmit and receive data bidirectionally at the E1 rate of 2.048 megabits-per-second (Mbps).
Chapter LEDs Figure 1-2 PA-2CE1—Faceplate View—PA-2CE1/PRI-120 Shown When running channelized E1, each 2CE1 interface provides up to 31 E1 channel groups, which are numbered from 0 to 30. Each channel group provides up to 31, 64 kilobit-per-second (kbps) timeslots (DS0 channels), which are numbered 1 to 31. Multiple DS0 channels can be mapped to a single channel group.
PA-2CE1 interfaces. All three cables have a 15-pin, D-shell (DB-15) connector at the router (VIP2 or Cisco 7200 series) end and either twin axial, RJ-45, or BNC connectors at the network end. Figure 1-4, Figure 1-5, and Figure 1-6 show the 2CE1 interface cables.

1. Cisco 7200 series routers require a minimum of 32 MB of DRAM to support up to five installed PA-2CE1s that are running ISDN PRI or channelized 2. The PA-2CE1 can be used in the VIP2 in all Cisco 7500 series routers using a Route Switch Processor (RSP), and in Cisco 7000 series routers using the RSP7000 and RSP7000CI.

Chapter Safety Guidelines Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage 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.

C H A P T E R Removing and Installing Port Adapters This chapter describes how to remove the PA-2CE1 port adapter from supported platforms and also how to install a new or replacement port adapter. This chapter contains the following sections: Handling Port Adapters, page 3-2 •...
Several platforms support online insertion and removal (OIR) of port adapters; therefore, you do not have to power down routers when removing and replacing a PA-2CE1 in Cisco 7200 series routers. Although the VIP2 supports online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis and then install or replace port adapters as required.
Chapter Warnings and Cautions Each module has a bus connector that connects it to the router. The connector has a set of tiered pins in three lengths that send specific signals to the system as they make contact with the module. The system assesses the signals it receives and the order in which it receives them to determine if a module is being removed from or introduced to the system.
In this section, the illustrations that follow give step-by-step instructions on how to remove and install port adapters.

Chapter Port Adapter Removal and Installation VIP2—Removing and Installing a Port Adapter Note: You must first remove the VIP from the chassis before removing a port adapter from the VIP. Step 1 To remove the port adapter, remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter).
Chapter Connecting a PA-2CE1 Interface Cable Connecting a PA-2CE1 Interface Cable On a single PA-2CE1, you can use up to two G.703 serial connections. Use the following procedure to connect a PA-2CE1 interface cable: Step 1 Attach the cable directly to the receptacle on the PA-2CE1 and tighten the strain-relief screws. (See Figure 3-2.) Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is not shown to allow a detailed view Note...
Chapter Setting the PA-2CE1 Jumpers Setting the PA-2CE1 Jumpers Depending on the circumstances, you might need to change the configuration of both PA-2CE1 interfaces for balanced 120-ohm connections or unbalanced 75-ohm connections. Configuring PA-2CE1 interfaces for balanced 120-ohm or unbalanced 75-ohm connections requires setting ten jumpers on the 2CE1 printed circuit board and attaching the appropriate interface cable (balanced or unbalanced) to both 2CE1 ports.
