Installation and Safety Guide 3 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.
4 Port Interface Card Package Contents The following items are included with each Port Interface Card (PIC). Contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller if any items are damaged or missing. ■ two spring-loaded retaining thumbscrews ■ two jumpers (AT-AR020 PRI E1/TI and AT-AR021(S) BRI-S/T only).
Installation and Safety Guide 5 Installing a PIC This section describes the procedure for installing a PIC. You should also follow this procedure, in particular the safety procedures and warnings, when replacing or removing a PIC. Caution You cannot install PICs into an AT-AR040 NSM that has power applied to it. This includes NSMs that have been deactivated using the hot swap button, but not physically removed from the switch or router.
6 Port Interface Card 7. Unpack the PIC. In an antistatic environment, remove the PIC from its packing material. Be sure to observe ESD precautions. Warning Do not attempt to install a PIC or any other expansion option without observing correct antistatic procedures. Failure to do so may damage the switch or router, PIC, or expansion option. If you are unsure what the correct procedures are, contact your authorised Allied Telesis distributor or reseller. 8.
Installation and Safety Guide 7 AT-AR026 4ETH PICs have user-configurable links that set features such as auto-negotiation, buffer size, and MAC address aging. For a detailed description of the links, see the Port Interface Card Hardware Reference. For more information on PIC jumpers and hardware configurations, see the Port Interface Card Hardware Reference. This document can be downloaded from www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software/. 9. Slide the PIC into place.
8 Port Interface Card Setting the ISDN Territory Before you connect an AT-AR020 or AT-AR021 PIC to the ISDN network, check that the ISDN territory is set correctly for your region. 1. Log in to your switch or router. For more information, see the Installation and Safety Guide included with your switch or router. You can also download the complete documentation for your switch or router from www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software/. 2.
Installation and Safety Guide 9 Downloading VoIP Firmware If you have installed an AT-AR027 VoIP PIC, you now need to download and install the VoIP firmware onto your PIC. Before you begin, check that the PIC Error LED on the PIC is off, and that the PIC has been recognised by your switch or router, using the show system command. 1. Download the VoIP PIC firmware. Point your web browser at www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software/.
10 Port Interface Card 6. Load the protocol image onto the PIC. To load the protocol image, use the command: enable voip protocol={h323|sip} [engine={engine}] The boot code loads the protocol onto all AT-AR027 PICs unless you specify an individual PIC (engine). The engine name is formed by concatenating a VoIP interface type and an engine instance (for example, fxs2). A fully qualified engine name may also be specified (for example, bay0.fxs0 or nsm0.bay1.fxs0).
