Hardware Reference AT-AR022 ETH PIC The AT-AR022 ETH PIC provides a dual Ethernet 10BASE-T/AUI port. Only one interface type can be active at any one time and the PIC automatically senses which interface is in use. The 10BASE-T interface uses an RJ-45 connector and the AUI interface uses a DB15 connector.
Port Interface Card AT-AR023 SYN PIC The AT-AR023 SYN PIC provides a single synchronous port operating at speeds up to 2Mbps. The synchronous port has a 50-way AMPLIMITE universal connector which supports RS-232/V.28, V.35 and X.21 interface standards in DTE and DCE modes. A transition cable is required to convert the AMPLIMITE connector to the correct physical interface.
Hardware Reference AT-AR024 ASYN4 PIC The AT-AR024 ASYN4 PIC provides four asynchronous RS-232 ports with RJ-45 connectors for use up to 115 Kbps. The front panel of the AT-AR024 ASYN4 PIC is shown in Figure 8. The ASYN4 PIC does not have LEDs. Figure 8: AT-AR024 ASYN4 PIC Asynchronous ports (RJ45 connector) AR024FP...
Port Interface Card AT-AR026 4ETH PIC The AT-AR026 4ETH PIC provides four 10BASE-T/100 BASE-TX auto- negotiating ports. The ports have RJ-45 connectors and provide wire speed unmanaged layer 2 switching. AT-AR026 4ETH PICs are not recommended for use in AT-AR040 NSM PIC bays because performance of these interfaces is likely to be reduced and packet loss may occur.

Port Interface Card Synchronous Interface The AT-AR023 SYN PIC provides a synchronous interface with a single AMPLIMITE 50-way port. The AMPLIMITE port is wired as a universal connector for RS-232/V.28, V.35 and X.21 interface standards in both DTE and DCE modes. A transition cable is required to convert the AMPLIMITE to the correct physical interface for the standard required (e.g., DB15 for X.21).
“AT-AR021(S) BRI-S/T PIC” on page 8 for more information. Primary Rate ISDN Interface The AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1 PIC provides a Primary Rate ISDN interface with a single RJ-45 connector. The interface supports connection to either 100Ω T1 or 120Ω E1 networks.
Port Interface Card VoIP FXS Interface The AT-AR027 VoIP-FXS PIC uses standard RJ-11 telephone sockets that provide a Tip and Ring A/B pair (Table 14). An RJ-11 to BT adaptor cable can be used to connect telephones with BT-style plugs to the RJ-11 ports (Figure 20 on page 32).
Hardware Reference Cables and Loopback Plugs for PICs This section describes how to make cables for connecting PIC interfaces to other devices, and loopback plugs for testing PIC interfaces. The following topics are covered: ■ Transition Cables for the AT-AR023 PIC ■...

Port Interface Card Hot Swapping the AT-AR040 NSM with PICs Installed Caution You cannot hot swap PICs. Before installing or removing a PIC from a PIC bay in a switch or router, you must disconnect all power sources to the switch or router.
Page 40
Hardware Reference The configuration script is not scanned for commands relating to hot-inserted interfaces until the switch or router is restarted. These interfaces must be configured manually. The switch or router does not update the MAC address of any hot-swapped Ethernet interface until the switch or router is restarted.

Hardware Reference Test Facility The Test Facility is built into the AlliedWare operating system, and is the best method to verify the correct operation of all PICs except the AT-AR026. Testing can be performed while the switch or router is operational, but any interfaces being tested are dedicated to the Test Facility.
Page 45
Port Interface Card To run the Test Facility for a specific interface, use the command: enable test interface={all|base|expansion|ethn|synn|portn| brin|prin|engine|mac|mac0|mac1|mac2} where n is the interface number. To run the Test Facility for all interfaces on a PIC, use the command: enable test interface=exp If the tests are run with a loopback plug or external test device, the tests will run for 4 minutes.
