Chapter 1
Introduction
Welcome to the AR100 Series Internet Router—the complete Small Office/
Home Office Internet solution. Your AR100 Series Internet Router has a Basic
Rate ISDN port with full support for two ISDN B channels, providing dual
high speed connections to the Internet, to a remote office, or both. You can con-
nect up to four PCs directly to the AR100, or connect a hub for even more LAN
connections. The AR130 and AR140 differ only in that the AR140 has two tele-
phone ports for connecting telephones or facsimile machines.
Data and voice traffic share the one ISDN connection, saving on connection
costs. Advanced call management functionality can automatically use a second
ISDN B channel for bandwidth-on-demand applications, or disconnect a lower
priority data call to free a B channel for a voice call or higher priority data traffic.
Whether your ISDN service provider offers an ISDN dial-on-demand service
enabling you to make calls only when you need to, or an ISDN leased line serv-
ice which stays connected continuously, you can configure your router to suit
the needs of your office.
What can the AR100 do for you?
Connect you to the Internet
The AR100 Series Internet Router provides you with high speed, unrestricted
access to the Internet, with compression techniques that speed up your data
traffic. It can automatically disconnect the ISDN call if there is no data to be
sent or received, to minimise call charges. It can limit the connection time or
amount of data transmitted to thresholds you choose, allowing you to limit
your ISP charges. The AR100 makes it easy for your Internet Service Provider
to dynamically assign your Internet address every time you surf the net. You
can use your router in an existing LAN, or directly connect up to four PCs to its
four Ethernet LAN ports.
Connect you to a remote office
Many small offices and home offices require fast and efficient access to a central
office to check email, access a database or download a file. Your AR100 can
automatically open another ISDN channel when extra capacity is required, and
close it when traffic levels reduce. If your office LAN uses private IP addresses

1-2 What can the AR100 do for you?
not registered on the Internet, the AR100 can translate these private addresses
to a single registered IP address for communication across the Internet, saving
you the time and expense of assigning registered IP addresses to each device
on your LAN.
Connect you to other trading partners
The AR100 allows small offices to communicate with other trading partners
using ISDN dial-on-demand or ISDN leased line. Information such as reports,
quotes and orders can be transferred between the two offices. The AR100 does
not place any limits on the number of network users, so it will continue to sup-
port you as your business grows.
Make phone and facsimile calls
The AR140 has two phone ports. Any combination of telephones, facsimile
machines, and answering machines can be connected to these two ports. Once
connected, they behave as if connected to a standard telephone network. Local,
national and international voice and facsimile calls can be placed and received
as normal. There is no need for a separate line for voice, facsimile and data—
one ISDN connection does it all. The two ISDN channels are shared between
data and voice as required. When both channels are being used for data, the
AR140 can be configured to bump one of these channels if a voice call is
required, for example when an emergency number is dialled.
The AR140 supports ISDN supplementary services, including call waiting, con-
ference calling, implicit call transfer and call forwarding. These services must
be provisioned on your ISDN line before they can be used by the AR140.
Note for Germany and Austria only: If you have leased lines on both ISDN B
channels, for instance one for an Internet connection and one for an inter-office
connection, you will not be able to connect telephones and use telephony serv-
ices even if you have an AR140 with phone ports.
Protect your network from unauthorised access
When you connect to the Internet you have unrestricted access to the World-
Wide Web. Likewise, it has access to you! This is not normally a problem as you
are just one of many millions of subscribers. However, the AR100 includes a
sophisticated packet filtering firewall that prevents unauthorised users access-
ing your local network, and ensures that only authorised users can access the
central office.
The AR100 also supports callback for outgoing calls. This allows a remote site
to reverse the call charges to a central office, for central billing of ISDN calls.
Make configuration simple
Your AR100 Series Internet Router has an easy to use web-based configuration
tool. A wizard leads you step by step through setting up an Internet connection
and/or an inter-office connection for the first time. If you want to add another
connection or change the configuration later on, you can do this easily from
your web browser.

Introduction 1-3
What does your AR100 need?
This section describes the hardware, software and ISDN and Internet service
requirements you need before you can configure and use your AR100 router.
Hardware and software requirements
Before you can install, configure and use your router, you need a PC with the
following hardware and software:
■An i486, Pentium or equivalent processor
■Windows 95, 98 or 2000.
■An Ethernet adapter card.
■A CD-ROM drive.
■TCP/IP installed and configured on your Ethernet adapter card. TCP/IP is
required for your PC to communicate with the router and the Internet. For
more information, see “Installing TCP/IP on your PC” on page 3-1 or in the
Start Here Guide.
If you do not have any of the above items, contact your PC supplier.
You also need :
■A UTP (CAT 5) Ethernet cable to connect your Ethernet adapter card to a
LAN port on your router. Contact your authorised Allied Telesyn distribu-
tor or reseller if you need this.
■A web browser to access the Configuration Wizard, and Adobe Acrobat
Reader to view the on-line manuals. These are included on the AR100
Installer and Documentation CD-ROM.
Note: Any device that can use TCP/IP to communicate can be connected to the
router’s LAN ports and use the AR100 to access the Internet. However, only PCs
running Windows 95, 98 and 2000 can use the AR100 CD and run the Configu-
ration and Management Wizard.
ISDN service requirements
To connect to the Internet or a remote office, you need a Basic Rate ISDN dial-
on-demand or Basic Rate ISDN leased line (Germany and Austria only)
account with an ISDN service provider. Some ISDN service providers may
have different charges for services supporting data only and services support-
ing voice and data. We recommend that you compare the charges and features
of ISDN services available. In most places this is fairly straight forward. In
Australia, the United States and Canada there are more options available, and
these are described in the following sections.

1-4 What does your AR100 need?
Ordering ISDN in Australia
The AR100 supports keeping an ISDN call connected semi-permanently. If you
subscribe to the OnRamp Express service in Australia, outgoing calls on this
line are charged at a lower rate than regular dial on demand ISDN calls. This
means that a call can be set up to remain connected indefinitely, and to be
reconnected if a fault in the ISDN network disconnects it.
Note: Only outgoing calls on the OnRamp Express service are charged at the
lower rate. Incoming calls are charged at the higher casual rate, even if the calls
are kept up semi-permanently, potentially leading to high ISDN call charges.
Ordering ISDN in North America
In the United States and Canada, Basic Rate ISDN is provided using National
ISDN-1, 5ESS or DMS-100 formats on the following switch types, all of which
are supported by the AR100 Series routers.
■NI-1 (National ISDN-1)
■5ESS (AT&T Custom, Point to Point or Multipoint)
■DMS-100 (Northern Telecom)
Because an ISDN service provider uses hundreds of parameters to configure an
ISDN line, the North American ISDN Users’ Forum (NIUF) has defined some
standard Capability Packages to make it easier to order ISDN. Each capability
package consists of some standard line sets and feature sets that match the
requirements of particular applications. Many ISDN service providers have
implemented these capability packages, and you can order the one that suits
your needs by using the corresponding ISDN Ordering Codes (IOCs). The
ordering of ISDN services has been further simplified by defining some EZ-
ISDN packages which are supersets of Capability Packages that are expected to
meet the needs of many ISDN subscribers. Note that the EZ-ISDN packages 1
and 1A are the same as the superset capability packages U and V.
If your ISDN service provider does not use IOCs, see “ISDN Order Forms” on
page 1-7.
If your ISDN provider uses IOCs, use Table 1-1 to choose the capability pack-
age that suits your needs. Some ISDN service providers have lower call charges
for data-only applications. If this is the case and you do not require voice capa-
bilities, order an ISDN line that supports data only. Some ISDN service provid-
ers charge lower rates for voice calls than for data calls. The AR100 supports
Data Over Voice (DOV), enabling you to send data calls as though they are
voice calls, if the router at the other end of your calls is also configured for
DOV. Depending on your location and ISDN service, this may not be permit-
ted. If you will use DOV you may need to order an additional directory
number from your ISDN service provider. Voice features supported by the
AR140 are described in “Telephony on the AR140” on page 1-6.
You can send the ISDN Line Configuration Request Form with IOCs in
“ISDN Order Forms” on page 1-7, or call your telephone company and give the
corresponding information to the ISDN representative.
Order from your ISDN service provider:
■The IOC you want.

Introduction 1-5
■An RJ-45 connector to be installed on the ISDN outlet.
■An NT1 to connect your AR100 router to the ISDN line.
Ask for this information from your ISDN service provider:
■The ISDN switch type they are using
■One or two directory numbers, as required
■One or two associated Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDs).
The AR130 and AR140 have completed the ISDN Ordering Codes Translation
Review and are registered for IOC S and EZ-ISDN 1.

ISDN Order Forms
The following pages contain forms for ordering ISDN lines in North America.
Print, complete and send one of these forms to your ISDN service provider.
If your ISDN service provider uses ISDN Ordering Codes (and most do), use
the ISDN Line Configuration Request Form with IOCs.
Ordering an ISDN BRI line from an ISDN service provider in North America
that does not use the standard ISDN Ordering Codes is sometimes called “a la
carte” ordering. If your ISDN service provider does not ISDN Ordering Codes,
check which kind of switch they use, and send either the ISDN Line Configu-
ration Request Form for 5ESS AT&T switch without IOCs form or the ISDN
Line Configuration Request Form for DMS-100 Northern Telecom switch
without IOCs form.

Unpack your router
Check the contents of the shipping carton. If any items are missing or dam-
aged, contact the shipping agent or your authorised Allied Telesyn distributor
or reseller immediately. Keep the shipping box, if possible. The shipping carton
should include:
■AR130 or AR140 Internet Router
■Power supply unit
■Green ISDN cable
■Two voice stub cables (AR140 only)
■Two green S-bus termination straps
■Start Here Guide
■Warra nt y c ard
■AR100 Series Installer and Documentation CD-ROM.
Note: The two green S-bus termination straps are not needed in most situations,
and the router uses line termination in the building. If you need to change your
router to network termination, contact your Allied Telesyn distributor or re-
seller. Do not attempt to install them yourself. They must only be installed by
authorised service personnel.

Position your router
Make sure you router is positioned:
■On a clean flat surface.
■Out of direct sunlight and away from other heat sources. The router is
designed and tested to function between -5° C and 45° C.
■With plenty of room for air to circulate around the router and its air vents.
■Where moisture cannot enter the router.
Connect your router
Your router can be connected directly to your PC or to an existing LAN to pro-
vide an Internet and/or inter-office connection.
Connecting the router directly to your PC
1. Switch off the power to your computer.
2. Connect the ISDN port on the router to the ISDN line wall jack or NT1,
using the supplied green ISDN cable.
3. Connect the Ethernet adapter card on your PC to one of the four LAN ports
on the AR100 using a UTP Ethernet cable (obtained from your authorised
Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller).
Note: If you connect your PC to LAN port 4, make sure the PC/Hub switch is
in the out/PC position. If you connect your PC to LAN port 1, 2 or 3 this button
is not used. (If you use a crossover cable instead of a direct cable, this switch
should be in the opposite position for either a PC or a hub connection.)
4. If you have an AR140 with phone ports, connect up to two telephones,
facsimile machines, or answer phones to the phone ports.
5. Connect the router to the mains power supply using the power supply unit
supplied. Switch on the mains power supply. The Power LED lights and
