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

For single-mode SONET connections, connect the single-mode cable to the ST connector on the
SONET PLIM. (See Figure 2-10.)
Figure 2-10
For E3 and DS3 connections, connect the coaxial cable to the BNC connector on the E3 or DS3
PLIM. (See Figure 2-11.) 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. Refer
to the chapter "Installing the Router."

Channel Attachment Connection Equipment

The ESCON Channel Adapter (ECA) and bus and tag Parallel Channel Adapter (PCA) for the CIP
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, refer to the configuration note Channel
Interface Processor (CIP) Installation and Configuration (Document Number 78-1342-xx, where
xx is the latest revision 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.
