T3 or E3 PIM

The T3 (also known as DS3) PIM (Figure 32) and E3 PIM (Figure 33) provide a physical connection to T3 or E3 network media types. The T3 and E3 PIMs include one physical T3 or E3 port with an integrated data service unit (DSU).

The T3 and E3 PIMs provide the following key features:

• Onboard network processor
• Integrated DSU—Eliminates the need for a separate external device
• Subrate and scrambling options with support for major DSU vendors
• Independent internal and external clocking system
• Loopback (payload–supported only on T3 PIM, local, and remote), bit error rate test (BERT), and T3 far-end alarm and control (FEAC) diagnostics

For pinouts of cable connectors for T3 and E3 PIMs, see E3 and T3 BNC Connector Pinout.

To install or remove a PIM, see Replacing a PIM.

Status LEDs indicate port status. Table 28 describes the meaning of the LED states.
