AR700 Series Router

AT-AR725-80 DC The AT-AR725-80, designed for use by telecommunication carrier sites, supports connection to a 48V DC power supply (in the range 39 to 60 V DC). The DC model does not support an RPS connection, and does not support monitoring of the main PSU or fan.

DC supply cable specifications:

■Number of wires (cores): 3

■Minimum size: 2.1 mm2 (14 AWG)

■Minimum cable rating: 600 V, 90 degrees Celsius

DC power supply specifications:

■48 V DC (38 V to 60 V DC is acceptable)

■Either positive grounded or negative grounded

Safety Safety information and instructions outlining how to connect an AT- AR725-80 to a DC power supply can be found in the AR700 Series Router Installation and Safety Guide. You should read these instructions before attempting to connect the router to a DC power supply.

!Caution Some interfaces that may be installed in the router are not transformer isolated. This means they will be referenced to the frame ground of the equipment and may be damaged if connected to an interface on another piece of equipment which is at a different ground potential.

AC models of the AT-AR725 can be used in conjunction with the AR740 RPS. Each AR740 RPS can provide power supply and mains circuit redundancy for up to two AT-AR725s or AT-AR745s. For more information on the AR740 RPS, see “AR740 RPS Redundant Power Supply (AT-AR725,AT-AR745 only)” on page 43.

For connection to an AR740 RPS, the AT-AR725 router has a female DB25 connector on its rear panel (Figure 3). Pin outs for the connector are listed in Table 2.

AR700 Series specifications

The Allied Telesis AR700 Series represents a robust line of edge routers engineered for high-performance networking. These devices are aimed at delivering versatility and scalability, catering to the needs of various organizations, whether small businesses or larger enterprises. Known for their reliability and advanced features, the AR700 Series stands out as a compelling option for organizations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the AR700 Series is its support for advanced routing protocols. The routers are capable of handling various protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and RIP, ensuring seamless integration within diverse network environments. This capability allows organizations to efficiently manage their routing needs, optimizing data flow for enhanced performance.

In addition to its routing protocols, the AR700 Series supports powerful Quality of Service (QoS) features. This technology prioritizes network traffic based on specific requirements, ensuring that vital applications receive the necessary bandwidth. This is particularly important for businesses that rely on real-time services such as video conferencing or voice over IP (VoIP), where uninterrupted service is critical.

The AR700 Series is also equipped with advanced security features to safeguard against cyber threats. With built-in firewall capabilities, VPN support, and traffic filtering, these routers help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and attacks. Additionally, the ability to implement VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) further enhances the security and manageability of the network.

Scalability is a key characteristic of the AR700 Series. Organizations can easily expand their network capabilities as they grow, with support for various interface modules. This flexibility enables businesses to adapt their infrastructure without the need for complete overhauls, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.

Management and monitoring of the AR700 Series are also streamlined, thanks to user-friendly interfaces and comprehensive management tools. IT teams can efficiently configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the network, ensuring optimal performance and reducing downtime.

In summary, the Allied Telesis AR700 Series routers combine advanced routing capabilities, robust security features, and scalable designs to meet the evolving needs of modern networks. With support for QoS, versatile protocols, and easy management, these devices are well-equipped to handle the demands of today's data-driven environments, making them an excellent choice for organizations aiming to improve their network performance and security.
