Question : Problem: DS3 Termination on a 7206 VXR

I have a 7206 XVR with mutilple T1's termintated by an 8 port T1 PA. I am using MPPP to bind the T1's.
We are are upgrade bandwidth to 15 meg by bringing in a DS3 capped at 15 meg.  I am going to have to purhcase a T3 PA for the 7206 XVR.
I am being told by a vendor that I may need a VIP card for that 7206....I thought I would just need a T3 PA or an ATM T3 PA depending on how we order the circuit from the carrier.

Never take the work of a vendor....

Answer : Problem: DS3 Termination on a 7206 VXR

VIP cards are for a different series of routers, you are correct you need a PAM module. I would by a T3 with a HSSI interface which is cheaper, make sure you get a CSU/DSU that has a HSSI port and you can save your self some money.

1-Port HSSI Port Adapter    PA-H       6,000.00
2-Port HSSI Port Adapter    PA-2H     10,000.00

1 Port T3 Serial Port Adapter Enhanced  PA-T3+   8,500.00
2 Port T3 Serial Port Adapter Enhanced  PA-2T3+ 12,500.00
