CONNECTING TO A BASIC RATE U ISDN SERVICE

To connect an AR725 router with an AT-AR021(U) BRI-U PIC
installed to a Basic Rate U ISDN service, follow these steps:

1

   Connect the supplied CAT 5 cable or an approved ISDN

cable from the BRI interface on the rear panel of the
AT-AR021(U) PIC to the ISDN service provider’s termination
point (ISDN line wall jack).

Active

BRI U

D

B1

B2

Connect the supplied CAT 5 cable, or an approved ISDN cable, from the BRI port on

the rear panel of the AT-AR021(U) BRI-U PIC to the ISDN line wall jack.

Note: If you wish to make your own ISDN cable, see the 

AR Router

Hardware

 

Reference 

for a detailed description of how to wire an

ISDN interface cable.

2

   Check the operation by observing the state of the LEDs on

the rear panel of the AT-AR021(U) PIC. The 

Active

 LED will be lit

when the U interface is activated and operational at the physical
layer. The 

D

 LED will flicker as control traffic is exchanged with

the ISDN switch. The 

B1

 and 

B2

 LEDs will flicker as data is sent

and received on the B1 and B2 channels.

To test the AT-AR021(U) PIC you will need to configure a
routing protocol such as IP or IPX to use ISDN. See 

Configuring

ISDN

Configuring an IP Network

 and 

Configuring a Novell IPX

Network

 later in this guide for more information about

configuring ISDN calls and routing protocols.

CONNECTING TO A PRIMARY RATE ISDN SERVICE

To connect an AR725 router with an AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1 PIC
installed to a Primary Rate ISDN service, follow these steps:

1

   Check that the AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1 PIC has the correct

mode and termination for local conditions. The AT-AR020 PRI
E1/T1 PIC is shipped pre-configured for normal LT operation in
T1 mode, with the standard termination jumpers removed. This
is appropriate for most situations. If the PIC is to be operated
in a non-standard mode, contact your distributor or reseller.
The commands:

SHOW PRI STATE
SHOW PRI CONFIGURATION

display the state of the PRI interface and the modules configured
to use the PRI interface. Check the output of the SHOW PRI

STATE command that “ISDN Interface type” is set to “TE”.  If not,
contact your distributor or reseller for assistance.

2

   Connect an approved ISDN 120

 cable from the ISDN

service provider’s termination point to the PRI interface on the
rear panel of the AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1 PIC. If the router is
being connected to a 75

 network, an external balun is

required. Contact your distributor, reseller or ISDN service
provider for assistance.

Note: If you wish to make your own ISDN cables, see the 

AR Router

Hardware

 

Reference 

for a detailed description of how to wire an

ISDN interface cable.

Active

D Data

B Data

PRI E1/T1

NT

Connect the Primary Rate ISDN port on the rear panel of the AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1

PIC to the ISDN service provider’s termination point using an approved ISDN 120

cable or external balun.

3

   Check the operation by observing the state of the LEDs on

the front panel of the AT-AR020 PIC. The “Active” LED should
be lit indicating the link to the NT is operational. The “D Data”
LED will flicker as control traffic is exchanged with the ISDN
switch. The “B Data” LED will flicker as data is transmitted and
received on any B channel. The “NT” LED indicates that the PRI
interface is in NT mode, and should not be lit during normal
operation. See 

Configuring ISDN

 and

Configuring a Novell IPX Network

 later in this guide for more

information about configuring ISDN calls and routing protocols.

CONNECTING A TERMINAL OR MODEM

To connect a terminal or modem to an asynchronous port on
the AR725 router, follow these steps:

1

   Use the supplied console cable or an approved terminal

cable to connect a terminal to an asynchronous port on the
rear panel of the router or the rear panel of an AT-AR024
ASYN4 PIC. Use an approved modem cable to connect a
modem to an asynchronous port on the rear panel of the
router or the rear panel of an AT-AR024 ASYN4 PIC.
