4-port Channelized E1/PRI FIC (3C13866) and 4-port Fractional E1 FIC (3C13823) 65

■X.21 DTE cable: DB15 (male) connector at the network end

■X.21 DCE cable: DB15 (female) connector at the network end

One end of the cables is connected to the router side via the DB-28 connector, and the connection of the other end of the cables varies with the network side to which it is connected.

Connecting the Interface

Cable

Before connecting the FIC, confirm the model of the equipment that is connected with the signaling criterion required by the access equipment, baud rate, and synchronous clock.

1Check interface type of the peer device and choose the sync/async serial interface cable of correct type.

2Plug the DB-28 end of the connection cable to the corresponding DB-28 interface in the FIC.

3Connect the other end of the FIC cable to the following equipment:

If the WAN is a DDN, please connect the cable to the interface of the CSU/DSU.

If the WAN is a dialup line, please connect the cable to the serial interface of the analog Modem.

4Power on the router, and check the status of the LINK LED of the FIC. It is off when the line is faulty and signal is out of step.

Interface Attributes

4-port Channelized FIC

4-port Channelized FIC function to transmit, receive, and process E1 data flows. In addition, they provide access to CE1, implementing the ISDN PRI function, so that one board can serve multiple purposes.

4-port Fractional FIC

4-port Fractional FIC are fractional E1 (E1-F) cards. They are different from 4-port Channelized FIC primarily in the sense that:

■The time slots can only be bundled into one channel at the speed of nx64K, given n=1-31. However, an E1 card allows the arbitrary grouping of 31 channels and multiple bundling operations.

■The E1-F cards do not support PRI mode.
