Channelized T3 Trunk Card
The Cisco AS5800 universal access server supports a channelized T3 (CT3) ingress interface that
provides asynchronous aggregation of channelized interfaces and multiplexing on a single T3 facility.
The CT1/CE1 trunk card is installed in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf chassis in slots 0 to slot 5. The
Cisco AS5800 currently supports as many as two CT1/CE1 trunk cards.
This chapter explains how to remove and replace a CT1/CE1 trunk card in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf
chassis, and also includes steps for verifying and troubleshooting your trunk card installation and
configuring your software.
CT1/CE1 Trunk Card Overview
The CT1/CE1 trunk card contains an onboard M13 multiplexer, which multiplexes 28 separate T1 lines
into a single T3 line. Each CT1/CE1 trunk card installed in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf contains all
necessary functionality to terminate link signaling and incoming digital calls.
Figure 3-1 shows the CT1/CE1 trunk card.
