About this Guide

Port Interface Cards (PICs) are a cost effective and flexible mechanism for adding new or additional network interfaces to your switch or router.

This Installation and Safety Guide describes how to install the following PICs:

■AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1, a single ISDN Primary Rate E1/T1 interface

■AT-AR021(S) BRI-S/T, a single ISDN Basic Rate S/T interface

■AT-AR021(U) BRI-U, a single ISDN Basic Rate U interface

■AT-AR022 ETH, a dual Ethernet 10BASE-T/AUI port

■AT-AR023 SYN, a single 2Mbps synchronous interface

■AT-AR024 ASYN4, four asynchronous ports

■AT-AR026 4ETH, four Ethernet 10BASE-T ports

■AT-AR027 VoIP-FXS, two Foreign Exchange Voice over IP ports

You can download the complete documentation for Port Interface Cards from www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software. For more information about the documentation and other resources, see “Obtaining Documentation and Resources” on page 11.

Compatible Switches and Routers

You can install a PIC into a PIC bay on the base unit of your switch or router, or into a PIC bay on an AT-AR040 NSM (Network Service Module) installed in your switch or router. The following table shows which PICs are appropriate for different expansion bays and models of switch and router.

AT-AR021 (S) BRI-S/T, AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1, AT-AR027VOIP-FXS, AT-AR024ASYN4, AT-AR023 SYN specifications

Allied Telesis has established itself as a leader in networking solutions, offering a range of devices that cater to various connectivity needs. Among its notable products are the AT-AR021 (U) BRI-U, AT-AR022 ETH, AT-AR026 4ETH, AT-AR023 SYN, and AT-AR024 ASYN4. These devices exemplify cutting-edge technology and robust features, making them ideal for modern network environments.

The AT-AR021 (U) BRI-U is primarily designed for digital telephony applications, featuring two BRI (Basic Rate Interface) ports. This enables organizations to efficiently connect to ISDN lines, facilitating reliable voice communications. It supports a variety of protocols, ensuring compatibility with numerous telecom networks, which is essential for businesses relying on seamless voice integration.

The AT-AR022 ETH is a versatile solution that focuses on enhanced Ethernet connectivity. Designed for high-speed data transmission, it supports multiple VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) and Quality of Service (QoS) configurations. This ensures that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need while providing efficient network traffic management.

For organizations requiring enhanced Ethernet capabilities, the AT-AR026 4ETH offers four Ethernet ports, providing flexibility for multiple devices to connect simultaneously. This model is particularly beneficial for small to medium-sized enterprises looking to develop a robust local area network (LAN) without extensive infrastructural changes. Its ability to support power over Ethernet (PoE) enables it to power devices like VoIP phones and security cameras directly through the network cable, simplifying deployment and reducing clutter.

The AT-AR023 SYN model is tailored for synchronous communication, making it ideal for applications that demand constant data flow and real-time processing. Its advanced synchronization technology ensures minimal latency and maximum throughput, critical for industries such as finance and telecommunications, where precise timing is essential for operations.

Finally, the AT-AR024 ASYN4 caters to asynchronous communication applications. This device supports four asynchronous serial ports, enabling connectivity with a wide range of equipment, including legacy systems, smart devices, and industrial machinery. It serves as a bridge for organizations transitioning from traditional systems to modern networking paradigms.

In summary, Allied Telesis offers a diverse portfolio of networking solutions through the AT-AR021 (U) BRI-U, AT-AR022 ETH, AT-AR026 4ETH, AT-AR023 SYN, and AT-AR024 ASYN4. Each model embodies unique features and technologies designed to enhance connectivity, ensure compatibility, and facilitate seamless communication across various platforms, making them essential components for contemporary network infrastructures.
