The T3 and E3 PIMs provide the following key features:
■ Onboard network processor

■ 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” on page 240.
