Asynchronous Transfer Mode Interface Processor (AIP) Installation and Configuration 27
ATM Interface Cables
•
For E3 and DS3 connections, connect the coaxial cable to the BNC connector on the E3 or DS3
PLIM. (See Figure 18.)
Note
The E3 and DS3 PLIMs require cable CAB-ATM-DS3/E3. Ensure that the transmit and
receive portions of the cable are connected to the appropriate PLIM connectors, as shown in
Figure 18. To ensure correct operation of the E3, DS3, and TAXI AIPs, Hardware Revision 1.3
(shipped from March 1995), the following minimum Cisco IOS release levels are required: 10.0(9),
10.2(5), 10.3(1), or later.

Caution
To ensure compliance with EMI standards, the E3 PLIM connection requires an EMI filter
clip (CLIP-E3-EMI) on the receive port (RCVR); the DS3 PLIM connection does not require this
clip. Figure 21, on page 30, shows the EMI filter clip assembly that is required for the E3 PLIM. Do
not operate the E3 PLIM without this assembly.
