A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA RT G U I D E Introducing the AR300 Series Router Congratulations on purchasing an AR300 Series router—the intelligent choice! No other solution will provide you with more networking capabilities or more cost saving features. supports advanced features that make it easy for your Internet Service Provider to dynamically assign your Internet address every time you surf the net.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E Create Your Own Mini-PBX A unique feature of the AR300 is its extensive range of PBX facilities including call divert, divert on busy and divert on no reply, call barring, call pickup, speed (shortcode) dialling for often-used numbers and emergency override. So, if you answer a call and it is for someone at the end of the office you simply transfer it to them. If you are on the phone and a call comes in it will automatically transfer to a free extension.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA RT G U I D E Getting Connected This section describes how to connect the AR300 router to different physical devices and networks. Before you start, you should be aware that the AR300 Series router refers to its physical interfaces as ports and these are numbered, starting at 0. For example, eth0 is the first Ethernet port and voice2 is the third voice port.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E 7 5 To save the configuration, select “Save As” from the File menu, then type a file name and press [Enter]. To reuse the configuration in a future session, select “Open” from the File menu, select the file name from the list and click “OK”. 6 You can customise Windows™ Terminal further by assigning commonly used router commands to function keys.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA RT G U I D E 3 Check the operation by observing the state of the LEDs on the front panel of the router. The Txd and Rxd LEDs will be lit as data packets are transmitted and received via the interface. The Link LED should be lit when a hub or personal computer is connected to the Ethernet port.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E ORDERING ISDN IN THE USA AND CANADA In the United States and Canada, Basic Rate ISDN is provided using National ISDN-1, 5ESS or DMS-100 formats, all of which are supported by the AR300 router. If National ISDN-1 is available, you can select from a list of “Capability Packages”, each providing different features. Contact your ISDN service provider for more information. The AR300 router will accept either one or two Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDs).
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA RT G U I D E 2 Connect an approved ISDN 120Ω cable or 75Ω cable pair from the ISDN service provider’s termination point to the PRI interface on the rear panel of the router. Note: If you wish to make your own ISDN cables, see the AR Router Hardware Reference for a detailed description of how to wire an ISDN interface cable.

Models AT-AR300(U), AT-AR300L(U), AT-AR310(U), AT-AR350, AT-AR370(S), AT-AR370(U), AT-AR390 and AT-AR395 have DB9 male connectors. Note: If you wish to make your own cable, see the AR Router Hardware Reference for a detailed description of how to wire a terminal or modem cable.

A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E 13 Configuring ISDN This section describes how to configure ISDN on the AR300 router using the command line interface. ISDN on the router requires minimal user configuration, other than selecting a territory, creating call definitions and configuring the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to use the ISDN calls. The lower layers of the ISDN protocol stack (BRI, LAPD and Q.931) are automatically configured when the router starts up.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA RT G U I D E Directory numbers and subaddresses can be entered with the command: SET Q931=0 NUM1=number NUM2=number SUB1=subaddress SUB2=subaddress The directory numbers and subaddresses must be supplied by the ISDN service provider. If the directory number is a full 10 digit number (3 digit area code plus 7 digit number), the router will append the digits “0101” to the number and attempt SPID initialisation with the result.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E 2 Select the country in which the router is being operated, using the command: SET SYSTEM TERRITORY={AUSTRALIA|CHINA| EUROPE|JAPAN|KOREA|NEWZEALAND|USA} The territory determines which Q.931 profile is used on the ISDN interface and country-specific settings for the PBX telephony services. For example, to select the Q.

The ISDN call is activated only when there is data to be transmitted, and is disconnected when the link has been idle for a period of time.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E 17 Configuring an IP Network TCP/IP is the most widely used network protocol. The Internet uses TCP/IP for routing all its traffic. TCP/IP provides a range of services including remote login, Telnet, file transfer (FTP), Email and access to the World-Wide Web. Protocol (PPP) over a wide area link. Each router is attached to an Ethernet LAN on which there is a mixture of PCs and hosts.

Alternatively, you can connect a PC to the console port and use a terminal emulation program like Windows™ Terminal. 3 Login to the MANAGER account on each router, as described in Installing the AR300 Router. 4 Collect together the information that you will need to configure IP. We recommend you photocopy the table on page 17 and fill in the details. CONFIGURING IP The following steps are required: 1. Configure the PPP Link. 2.

A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA RT G U I D E Configuring a Novell IPX Network This example illustrates the steps required to configure a pair of AR300 routers to create a Novell® IPX internetwork, using the router’s command line interface. In this scenario, PCs at a remote office need access to a Novell file server at the Head Office site. The two sites are connected by a PPP link over a wide area link—either a dedicated leased line or an ISDN call.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E • Each network in a Novell internet, including all LANs and WAN links, must be assigned a network number. Novell file servers also have an internal network number. These network numbers must be unique across the Novell internet—no two networks or file servers may use the same network number. All devices attached to a network must use the same network number to refer to the network. Check to see what numbers your file servers are using.

A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E 3 Does the file server appear in the IPX service table on the Remote Office router? If the server does not appear in the table, its presence can not be advertised to the local LAN. Check this by typing: SHOW IPX SERVICE This should produce a display like that shown on the previous page.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA RT G U I D E Configuring Telephone Services The AT-AR300(S), AT-AR300(U), AT-AR310(S), and AT-AR310(U) provide a powerful and cost-efficient interface between an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and analogue POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) devices such as push-button telephones and facsimile machines. cadences, prefixes, PCM encoding and dialling method are set to appropriate values.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E is connected to an ISDN service and can be called using either of two numbers that differ only in the last digit (2 or 3). 25 line and 9 for a private shortcode, the prefixes can be changed using the command: SET PBX EXTERNAL=1 PRIVATE=9 BEFORE YOU START 1 Ensure that the router to be configured is connected to the ISDN service and that the ISDN link is operational.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA RT G U I D E By default both extensions ring at the same time. The NUMACCEPT parameter indicates that calls made to the number ending in 2 will be directed to the sales extensions. The third command configures the router to make a call to extension 1 if the operator prefix (0 by default) is dialled at any of the other extensions. 3 Some facsimile machines need a period of silence at the end of an incoming call to indicate that the call has ended.
A R 3 0 0 R O U T E R Q U I C K S TA R T G U I D E 0 again and dial 0 (the operator prefix), a call should be made to extension 1 and that telephone should ring. 2 Pick up extension 1 and dial 9; the network dial tone should be heard. Check that a call can be made to an external number. Make a call to Head Office by dialling the shortcode 20. Dial the facsimile machine’s extension and check that the facsimile machine answers.
