Both the PA-MCX-xTE1 and the NM-2CE1B can take multiple streams from
different customers and terminate them as if they were individual physical
serial interfaces. Basically you have one physical link to the Telco, and
over that link you have N number of logical connections to your customers.
This sounds like what you need for your application.
The difference between the two is that the PA-MCX-xTE1 has the added ability
to take some of the channels from one T/E1 and map them to another set of
channels on another T/E1 on the port adapter, or another port adapter within
the box (depending on the router platform, and having the right software
support). So what you can functionally make the router be is a digital
cross connect. The router doesn't physically terminate the signal on a
virtual interface, but rather pass's it through (say it is voice or
something else that you don't want terminated on the router).

Subject: RE: [nsp] Chanelized E1
Dear All,
Thanks a lot for the advice. We would actually be using the Channelized E1
card for terminating the streams, & from there on get it routed by IP.
Therefore I believe we would not require any cross connect. In my scenario
the customer will be using a RAD TDM Multiplexer mapping timeslots to
destinations, & the telco will transparently pass the streams, Now I
understand that I would be able to match the timeslots passed on from the
customer using an NM-2CE1B card on the Cisco 3662 router. Kindly correct me
if I am wrong.
What difference does the T1/E1 PA for the 7200 (PA-MCX-xTE1) have, when
compared to the NM-2CE1B on the 3662? When you say drop & insert, does it
mean functions similar to a cross connect, or else is it similar to the
NM-2CE1B?
Kindly advice,
Wish you all a very Happy New year.
With warm regards,
Vinod.
