6 Network Service Module Hardware Overview This section provides an overview of the hardware features of NSMs. NSMs are expansion options for switch and router models with an NSM bay. NSMs slot into a base-unit switch or router and either directly provide additional WAN interfaces, or provide expansion slots for Port Interface Cards (PICs). Hardware descriptions for your switch or router, Uplink Modules, and PICs can be found in their respective Hardware References. These documents can be d

8 Network Service Module ■ If an AT-AR020 PIC is installed in an AT-AR040 NSM, and operating in E1 mode, you can not install an AT-AR021(S) or AT-AR021(U) PIC in the same row of the NSM. ■ You can install a maximum of four AT-AR027 PICs in an AR745 router fitted with an AT-AR040 NSM. ■ Avoid installing an AT-AR022 or AT-AR026 PIC in an AT-AR040 NSM. Performance of these interfaces may be reduced and packet loss may occur. Interface numbering For each interface type (e.g. BRI, PRI, SYN, ETH,

10 Network Service Module Basic Rate ISDN Interfaces Each Basic Rate S/T interface supports two 64kbit/s B channels and one 16kbit/s D channel, and operates in TE mode only. The switch or router should be configured as a TE for normal operation. User-configurable jumpers provide 100Ω line termination. By default, the jumpers are factory set to terminate Rx and Tx, bridging terminals 2 and 3 (Figure 5 on page 10). To remove the line termination, move the jumpers so that they bridge terminals

Hardware Reference 11 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. Warning Do not attempt to change any jumpers on the NSM while the switch or router is connected to a power supply or a live network. Disconnect the mains power supply, any redundant power supply, and any cable attached to the ISDN ports of the NSM. Dangerous voltages may be present on some parts of the NSM board, even
