[c-nsp] PA-MC-E3 7200 Port Adapter

[Mark Tinka]

Hello.

I have multiple PoP sites that each require 2Mbps. I need 
to minimize on the number of ports at my main PoP by 
utilizing a PA that can aggregate these sites into a 
single E3 (34.368Mbps) circuit. I also have some customers 
that may need to hang off this trunk from speeds as low 
as 64Kbps.

Searching 'cisco.com' brought me to the PA-MC-E3. Can 
this PA do what I need? I suppose the backbone provider 
would need to be able to present an E3 to my main PoP, 
but carry that and demux it as an E1 and nx64Kbps at each 
of the other sites and customers, or mux multiple site 
E1's into an E3 at the main PoP.

Is this possible?

Also, does it support an integrated CSU/DSU, eliminating 
the need for an external CSU/DSU at the main PoP? I know 
the web site says this but I just wanted to be sure, 
since DSU's are a nightmare around here.

For future higher bandwidth capacity, would the 
PA-MC-STM-1 be a suitable upgrade option for the same 
task?

Cheers,

Mark.
