The Cisco PA-POS-1OC3 is a 1-port Packet over SONET (POS) OC3c/STM1 port adapter designed for the Cisco 7200 Series router, delivering up to 155 Mbps of dedicated WAN connectivity.
The PA-POS-1OC3 adapter is compatible with Cisco 7200 Series routers: specifically the 7200VXR, 7204VXR, 7206VXR, and 7301 models with an available Packet Forwarding Engine slot.
The PA-POS-1OC3 delivers line-rate performance of up to 155.52 Mbps for OC3c and 51.84 Mbps for STM1 traffic, ensuring full utilization of your SONET link.
Power down the router, insert the PA-POS-1OC3 into an available PFC slot, secure with the captive screw, reconnect power, and verify insertion with the show controllers pos command.
The PA-POS-1OC3 supports a single SMF SC connector for OC3c/STM1, plus an integrated LED status indicator for LOS, AIS, and port activity monitoring.
Use single-mode fiber with an SC connector terminated for 1310 nm wavelength to achieve OC3c/STM1 compliance on the PA-POS-1OC3.
Under global configuration mode, navigate to interface pos0/0, set the clock source (internal or line), configure IP encapsulation, and apply Cisco IOS POS commands such as encapsulation ppp.
The adapter requires Cisco IOS 12.2(18)SXF or later with integrated POS feature set; verify compatibility with the Cisco Feature Navigator.
Yes, the adapter supports SONET APS (Automatic Protection Switching) and SDH SNCP for high-availability ring protection.
It provides SONET OAM, CDR, BERT, performance counters via RMON, and IOS show/ debug commands for real-time diagnostics.
Each Cisco 7200 Series router supports one Packet/SONET adapter per PFC slot; install additional PFCs to deploy multiple PA-POS-1OC3 units.
