Replacing PA-4T+ Port Adapter Cables
The port adapter cable connected to each port determines the electrical interface type and mode of the port. The default mode of the ports is DCE, which allows you to perform a loopback test on any port without having to attach a port adapter cable. Although DCE is the default, there is no default clock rate set on the interfaces. When there is no cable attached to a port, the software actually identifies the port as Universal (cable unattached) rather than either a DTE or DCE interface.
Following is an example of the show controllers command for Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series or Cisco uBR7200 series routers that shows an interface port (1/0) that has an
