Port Adapter Overview
The PA-A6 is a series of single-width, single-port, ATM port adapters for the Cisco 7200 series router, Cisco 7200VXR series router, Cisco 7301 router, Cisco 7401ASR routers, Cisco 7500 series routers, and Cisco 7600 series routers with FlexWAN. With advanced ATM features, the PA-A6 supports broadband aggregation, WAN aggregation, and campus/MAN aggregation.
The PA-A6 port adapters include three hardware versions that support the OC-3/STM-1 standards-based physical interfaces as well as E3 and T3 interface modules:
• OC-3/STM-1:
– Multimode—PA-A6-OC3MM(=) (SeeFigure 1-1.)
– Single-mode intermediate reach—PA-A6-OC3SMI(=) (SeeFigure 1-2.)
– Single-mode long reach—PA-A6-OC3SML(=) (SeeFigure 1-3.)
• E3—PA-A6-E3 (SeeFigure 1-4.)

The PA-A6 can be installed on the Cisco 7200 series router, Cisco 7200VXR series router, Cisco 7301 router, Cisco 7401ASR routers, Cisco 7500 series routers using VIP4-50 and VIP4-80, and Cisco 7600 series routers using FlexWAN modules. There are no restrictions on slot locations or sequence; you can install a PA-A6 in any available port adapter slot.

Chapter 1 Overview LEDs
The PA-A6 supports the following protocols and services:
• User-Network Interface (UNI) signaling
• Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI)
• RFC-1483
• RFC-1577
The PA-A6 complies with the environment specification listed inTable 1-1.
LEDs
The PA-A6-OC3SMI/SMM/SML port adapters have four status LEDs and one ENABLED LED. (See
Figure 1-6.)
Figure 1-6 LEDs on the PA-A6—Horizontal Orientation
Note PA-A6-E3 and PA-A6-T3 have three status LEDS (RF CELLS, RX CARRIER, RX ALARM). See
Figure 1-4 andFigure 1-5.
After system initialization, the ENABLED LED goes on, indicating that the port adapter has been enabled for operation.
The following conditions must be met before the PA-A6 is enabled:
• The port adapter is correctly connected and is receiving power.
• A valid system software image for the port adapter has been downloaded successfully.
• The system recognizes the port adapter.
If any of these conditions are not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the ENABLED LED does not go on.
Table 1-2lists LED colors and function.

Chapter 1 Overview Port Adapter Slot Locations on the Supported Platforms
Figure 1-23 Cisco 7613 Router FlexWAN and Enhanced FlexWAN Slot Locations
Note Slot numbering for the Cisco 7613 router with FlexWAN and Enhanced FlexWAN start at the top of the chassis and begin with slot 1(supervisor engine) and go through slot 12, however, slot 3 through slot 7 and slot 9 through slot 12 are used for OSMs (optical service modules. Also, if slot 2 is not used for a redundant supervisor, slot 2 may also be used for OSMs. Slot 7 and slot 8 use Cisco WS-SUP720 modules.
