Smart Serial Bandwidth

Hi all,

I am having issues connecting the serial wic 2t on the cisco 2811 routers between sites. It works well with 64kbps leased circuit but not anything above that???

Configs are ok on the interfaces, lights are green/on....interface is up bit line protocol is down when connected to a 512K leased circuit from Telco.....

Need help... icon_confused.gif

    Can you post the relevant config.

    The wic-2t does not have an integrated CSU/DSU. Which brand/model external CSU/DSU are you using? Also, is this an upgrade of an existing circuit or a newly provisioned line?

    Assuming that you have a T1 type external CSU/DSU, you will need to enable an additional 7 channels for a total of 8 (8x64k=512k).

    If this is an upgrade of an existing circuit, are there any issues at 128k, 256k, and 384k? What was Telco's response/advice on the issue?

    Thanks Serial, I thought about asking this, but assumed it had been done. icon_blackeye.gif

    hi serial0...

    We r using an alcatel 2801 mainstreet modem....no, there is no upgrade involved for link speeds....

    how do i enable additional channels on the router interfaces?? Command involved??

    I worked with Cisco serial interfaces connected to external CSU/DSU such as the Astrocom SP-100, and Digital Link DL080, and various Motorola & Kentrox in the past. In each case, the speed adjustments were made on the external device via console or external interface on the unit. With that said, the Alcatel 2801 may be different. As astorrs suggested, posting the relevent config of the serial interface may help.

    I can't seem to google an installation guide for your particular device, however, according to a data sheet at http://www.voxtechnologies.com/2600_2700_2800_mainstreet_family_data_termination_units_data_sheet.htm

    "simple installation, no on-site configuration required, all operating parameters are software configurable locally or remotely"

    To me, this suggest that the settings are done at the external device.

    It sounds like although there are no buttons to configure things ala old school Adtrans, that there still must be a way to set the clock type, etc on the device.

    Do you have access to the Alcatel modem via a CLI?
  • penipeni Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
    Hi all,

    We have managed to resolve this issue. A simple re-cycling of power for the Cisco routers did the trick.

    Thank u all for the posts. Has helped me expand my knowledge a bit more on CSU/DSU....

    Interesting... Would you mind sharing the router config for the applicable interface if you have time? I'm still trying to figure out the how. :)

    Getting a bit frustrated here, used a loopback address to ping interface, worked ok....as soon as we connect serial cables to CSU/DSU, interfaces start resetting over n over again....

    Desparately need help here.....kinda running out of options on what to check....

    Hmm. I'm pretty sure slot WIC0 on the 2801 only supports VIC and VWIC cards.

    I notice you're having the same problem on all 3 serial interfaces, are they all connected to the same kind of HDSL T1 lines?
  • penipeni Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
    yes all 3 are connected to the same type of leased circuit from Telecom and all are on the WIC 0 slot.
    Ben
  • astorrsastorrs Member Posts: 3,139 ■■■■■■□□□□
    Okay, if you plugged the 64k leased line in would it work without changing anything except the cable (or does it used the same Alcatel HDSL modem)?
  • penipeni Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
    the 64k leased line uses a different modem. It is connected to Serial 0/0/1 interface on the same card.

    i have plugged the 64k line to the serial 0/0/0 interface and changed the address....int comes up but line protocol stays down.
    Ben
  • astorrsastorrs Member Posts: 3,139 ■■■■■■□□□□
    Move the WIC-1T to slot3 and try again with the 64k line.
  • astorrsastorrs Member Posts: 3,139 ■■■■■■□□□□
    I've just confirmed on Cisco's site the following for the 2801 (it's different than the other 28xx series routers):

    Slot0 - VIC or VWIC, for voice only
    Slot1 - WIC, VIC, VWIC or HWIC
    Slot2 - WIC, VIC or VWIC
    Slot3 - WIC, VIC, VWIC or HWIC
  • penipeni Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
    trying now....let u know soon....

    is it the same for 2801 and 2811?? We are working on 2811 routers.
    Ben
  • astorrsastorrs Member Posts: 3,139 ■■■■■■□□□□
    Wow, its getting late. I'm confusing one question with another (had someone else with a 2801 and a different issue). icon_redface.gif

    No its not the same for 2811s. That one supports all of the types in each slot plus double-width cards. Sorry.

    Okay, do this then plug the Alcatel 512k line into Serial2 where the 64k line normally lives (I want to rule out a faulty WIC).

    Sorry again.
  • penipeni Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
    had my hopes up for a while there.... icon_lol.gif

    we are using WIC 2T serial cards with 2 interfaces per card....the 64k line resides on the same card as the 512K line....do i still need to move it to the second port on the same card??
    Ben
  • astorrsastorrs Member Posts: 3,139 ■■■■■■□□□□
    I must go to sleep soon making stupid mistakes... ;)

    What happens to the 512k line when connected to Serial0/0/1 with the only change to the config flipping the IPs?
  • penipeni Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
    changing now....let u know real soon...
    Ben
  • penipeni Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
    tried connecting 512k to 64k port.......interface is up, line protocol is still down.......same result as before....

    did a debug serial int and the seri 0/0/1 int is attempting to restart....could it be a sync issue between modem and smart serial port/card???
    Ben
  • astorrsastorrs Member Posts: 3,139 ■■■■■■□□□□
    Maybe it doesn't understand HDLC, try "encapsulation ppp" in the interface config.

    What's on the other end of this line?
  • penipeni Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
    tried....no luck...same result...

    Is there some sort of bandwidth restriction on the smart WIC 2T cards by default??
    Ben
  • astorrsastorrs Member Posts: 3,139 ■■■■■■□□□□
    No. If its not encapsulation it could be clocking.

    What is on the other end of the line? (a router you control or something else?)
  • penipeni Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□
    From the 2811 router, we connect to an Alcatel Mainstreet 2801 HDSL 2 wire 1Mbps DTU...this is connected to a leased circuit from Telecom. Same equipment on the other site......1 Mbps DTU and then connects to our router....
