AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1 PIC
The AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1 PIC provides a single G.703/Primary Rate ISDN
WAN port with an RJ-45 connector.
The card supports both E1 and T1 operation. A jumper selects the required option and impedance. A second jumper selects NT (Network Terminator) or TE (Terminal Equipment) mode, and the current mode is displayed by the NT LED. The normal operating mode is LT. Jumper locations are shown in Figure 2 on page 6, and jumper functions are listed in Table 2 on page 6.
The AT-AR020 PRI E1/T1 PIC is shown in Figure 1, and the functions of the
LEDs are listed in Table 1.

Jumper J1 is factory set to ISDN TE mode for normal operation and should not be changed without contacting your ISDN service provider, or authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.
Earlier versions of this card also have a J3 interface jumper. If present, this jumper must be installed for E1 mode and removed for T1 mode.

In North America, the ST interface must be supplied from a UL listed network terminating device such as NT1, and the cable length between the AR021(S) PIC and the NT1 device must be less than 1000 metres.
The termination jumpers (J1 and J2) are normally removed as the building wiring will provide the correct termination for an ISDN TE-to-NT circuit. When the BRI is connected in a point-to-point configuration, J1 and J2 may need to be installed to terminate the line pairs with internal 100Ω resistors. For detailed information, see the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) chapter of the Software Reference or Reference Manual for your switch or router.
If you are unsure of whether to terminate the line or not, contact your ISDN service provider, or your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.

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.
AT-AR022 ETH 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.
The AT-AR022 ETH PIC is shown in Figure 6, and the functions of the LEDs are listed in Table 6.

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. The switch does not need to be rebooted to change the interface type.
There are no user-configurable jumpers or dip switches on the AT-AR023 SYN
PIC board.
The AT-AR023 SYN PIC is shown in Figure 8, and the functions of the LEDs are listed in Table 7.
