assignments for the E1 interface cable.
Internal CSU/DSU
The SWPIM-E1 provides an E1 interface that includes a built-in Channel
Service Unit/Digital Service Unit (CSU/DSU) for direct connection to an
E1 line. This SWPIM supports both full E1 and fractional E1 using
64 Kbps timeslots.
The E1 Channel Service Unit (CSU) meets the following specs:
• Line Rate: 2.048 Mbps +/-50bps
• Transmits according to G.703 pulse shaping for both short and long
haul
• Receiver Sensitivity: +0 dB to -43 dB
• Meets G.823 for jitter tolerance
• Local Timing Capability
• Supports Long Haul or Short Haul capability

Introduction
SWPIM-E1 Installation Guide xiii
The E1 Data Service Unit (DSU) meets the following specs:
• E1 Framing Formats: FAS and CAS, with or without CRC4
• FAS mode: Payload bandwidth is 1.984 Mbps
• CAS mode: Payload bandwidth is 1.920 Mbps (channel 16 is reserved
for the signaling channel)
• Line Coding: HDB3 or AMI
• Supports both national and international bits for datalink
LEDs and Statistics
The SWPIM-E1 has two LEDs, to indicate link and status conditions.
Refer to Chapter 1 for more details.
The SWPIM-E1 also gathers statistics, such as bipolar violations and
frame errors, that are available through the management software.

SWPIM-E1 Installation Guide 1-1
CHAPTER 1
INSTALLATION
This chapter covers the following items:
• Unpacking the SWPIM-E1 (Section 1.1)
• Installing the SWPIM-E1 into the host platform (Section 1.2)
• A description of the LANVIEW LED indications (Section 1.3)
• Connecting the SWPIM-E1 to the network (Section 1.4)
• What to do once the SWPIM-E1 is installed (Section 1.5)
1.1 UNPACKING THE SWPIM-E1
Use static electricity precautions when handling the SWPIM-E1.
1. Open the packing box and remove the SWPIM-E1.
2. Attach the antistatic strap (refer to the instructions in the antistatic
wrist strap package) before removing the SWPIM-E1 from the
antistatic packaging.
3. Verify that the SWPIM-E1 is undamaged. Refer to Getting Help if
there is any damage to the device. Do not attempt to install the
SWPIM-E1 if it is damaged.
Only qualified personnel should install the SWPIM-E1.
!
CAUTION
Failure to observe static safety precautions could cause
damage to the SWPIM-E1. Follow static safety handling rules
and wear the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the SWPIM-E1.
Do not cut the non-conductive bag to remove the device.
Damage could result from sharp objects contacting the device
or components.

Chapter 1: Installation
1-2 SWPIM-E1 Installation Guide
1.2 INSTALLING THE SWPIM-E1
The SWPIM-E1 can be installed in any available open slot in the host
platform. To install the SWPIM-E1, proceed as follows:
1. Unfasten the screw and remove the blank panel covering the slot in the
host platform in which the SWPIM-E1 will be installed. See
Figure 1-1.
2. Ensure that the antistatic wrist strap is attached and used as
recommended.
3. Remove the SWPIM-E1 from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the
event the device must be removed from the host platform).
4. Hold the SWPIM-E1 with the faceplate facing away (right side up)
fromthe hostplatform.The 40-pinconnector should befacing towards
the empty slot, with the wide part of the connector oriented down, as
shown in Figure 1-1.
5. Locate the rail guides inside the slot in which the SWPIM-E1 will be
installed. See Figure 1-1.
6. Install the SWPIM-E1 in the host platform by aligning the SWPIM-E1
with the rail guides in the host platform and sliding it in. Take care that
the SWPIM-E1 slides in straight and properly engages the backplane
host connector. Do not force the device.
NOTE It is not necessary to power down the host platform to install
the SWPIM-E1.
!
CAUTION
Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD).
