Channel Attachment Connection Equipment; Ethernet Connection Equipment - Cisco 7000 Hardware Installation And Maintenance

Preparing Network Connections
For E3 and DS3 connections, connect the coaxial cable to the BNC connector on the E3 or DS3
PLIM. (See Figure 2-13.) The E3 and DS3 PLIMs require cable CAB-ATM-DS3/E3. Ensure that the
transmit and receive portions of the cable are connected to the appropriate PLIM connector. The
E3 PLIM connection requires an EMI filter clip (CLIP-E3-EMI) on the receive port (RCVR). Refer
to the chapter "Installing the Router."

Caution
clip (CLIP-E3-EMI) on the receive port (RCVR); the DS3 PLIM connection does not require this
clip.

Channel Attachment Connection Equipment

The two CIP adapters—the ESCON Channel Adapter (ECA) and the bus and tag Parallel Channel
Adapter (PCA)—are available as FRUs; however, they are field replacable by Cisco-certified field
service personnel only. For more information on the ECA, PCA, and CIP cables and installation,
refer to the configuration note Channel Interface Processor (CIP) Installation and Configuration
(document number 78-1342-xx, where xx is the latest version of the document).

Ethernet Connection Equipment

You will need an IEEE 802.3 MAU and an AUI, or an Ethernet transceiver and transceiver cable
between each EIP port and the Ethernet network. The Ethernet connectors on the EIP are standard
15-pin AUI receptacles that require an AUI or transceiver interface cable with a 15-pin AUI plug.
