CHAPTER 3
Channelized T3 Trunk Card
The Cisco AS5800 universal access server supports a channelized T3 (CT3) ingress interface that
provides asynchronous aggregation of channelized interfaces and multiplexing on a single T3 facility.
The CT3 trunk card is installed in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf chassis in slots 0 to slot 5. The
Cisco AS5800 currently supports as many as two CT3 trunk cards.
This chapter explains how to remove and replace a CT3 trunk card in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf chassis,

Chapter 3 Channelized T3 Trunk Card CT3 Trunk Card Overview Clocking All Cisco AS5800 access server trunk cards use the same transmit clock. This clock can originate from the following sources: • TDM clock source—A priority value from 1 to 50 that is applied to a clock source when multiple clock sources are used • External clock source—A clock source external to the access server Clocks are prioritized by slot number (slots 0 to 5). The highest-priority clock is selected from the card in sl

Chapter 3 Channelized T3 Trunk Card Using the Test Port Trunk Card Bantam Jacks The test port is a set of bantam jack connectors located at the bottom of the CT3 front panel (see Figure 3-4). The bantam jacks allow the connection of an external test device (for example, a FIREBERD test device) to test any of the 28 individual T1 circuits in drop-and-insert mode or to monitor an individual T1 circuit in monitor mode. • In drop-and-insert mode, the T1 line is dropped out of service.

Chapter 3 Channelized T3 Trunk Card Configuring the CT3 Trunk Card To complete the hardware installation, verify that the trunk card LEDs operate properly by observing the following LED states: • The power LED is ON. If the power LED remains OFF, verify that the card is seated properly. If the power LED lights on other trunk cards in the dial shelf, try inserting the trunk card in a different slot. If none of the power LEDs lights, check your dial shelf power connections, power entry module
