Chapter 1 Overview LEDs The PA-4B-U can be installed in any of the available port adapter slots in the Cisco 7100 series routers, Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7200 VXR routers, or Cisco 7301 router. Figure 1-2 shows a PA-4B-U installed in port adapter slot 1 of a Cisco 7206 router.
The four U-type BRI interfaces on the PA-4B-U support a standard, straight-through twisted pair cable with an RJ-45 connector at the router (Cisco 7200 series) end and at the network end. Cisco Systems does not provide the cable; it is widely available from other vendors.
This section discusses port adapter slot locations on the supported platforms. The illustrations that follow summarize slot location conventions on each platform: Cisco 7100 Series Routers Slot Numbering, page 1-4 • Cisco 7200 Series Routers and Cisco 7200 VXR Routers Slot Numbering, page 1-5 • Cisco 7301 Router Slot Numbering, page 1-5 •...
Cisco 7202 routers have two port adapter slots. The slots are numbered from left to right. You can place a port adapter in either of the slots (slot 1 or slot 2). The Cisco 7202 router is not shown. Cisco 7204 routers and Cisco 7204VXR routers have four slots for port adapters, and one slot for an input/output (I/O) controller.
0 through 3. Interface ports on a PA-4B-U maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or removed. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the first number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number.
In Cisco 7200 series routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the lower left to the upper right, beginning with port adapter slot 1 and continuing through port adapter slot 2 for the Cisco 7202, slot 4 for the Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR. Port adapter slot 0 is reserved for the optional Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller—if present.

C H A P T E R Removing and Installing Port Adapters This chapter describes how to remove the PA-4B-U 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 3-1 •...
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-4B-U in the Cisco 7100 series routers, Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7200 VXR routers, or Cisco 7301 router.

C H A P T E R Configuring the PA-4B-U Interfaces To continue your PA-4B-U port adapter installation, you must configure the PA-4B-U interfaces. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. Minor differences between the platforms are noted.
Configuring the Interfaces Configuring the Interfaces After you verify that the new PA-4B-U is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the configure command to configure the new interfaces. Have the following information available: Protocols and encapsulations you plan to use on the new interfaces •...
Configuring the PA-4B-U Interfaces Configuring the Interfaces If you installed a new PA-4B-U or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must use the privileged-level configure command. If you replaced a PA-4B-U that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new PA-4B-U interfaces and bring each of them up in their existing configurations.
Cisco 7200 series routers identify PA-4B-U interfaces by port adapter slot number and interface port Note number (0 through 3). For example, the address of the PA-4B-U installed in port adapter slot 4 and interface port 1 would be bri 4/1.

Router(config)# isdn switch-type basic-net3 Note The ISDN switch type that you identify is for all BRI interface ports installed in a Cisco 7200 series router. At the prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface, followed Step 3 by the type (bri), and port adapter slot number/interface port number.
If the interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still have problems bringing up the interface, contact a customer service representative for assistance. PA-4B-U Basic Rate Interface Port Adapter Installation and Configuration OL-3521-02...
