Hi,

Juniper E3 works in clear channel mode by default. While, Cisco PA-E3 
works in Digital-link mode by default.

There is one way to connect Juniper E3 to a Cisco PA-E3 using DSU mode 
of Digital-link.

At Juniper side:
Configure PA-E3 to work in Digital-link mode with subrating of 33.7 Mbps

At Cisco side:
Configure PA-E3's DSU bandwidth = 33700 kbps

I am sure it will help you.

Thanks,
KK Verma
