Software Upgrades

The software is upgraded by waiting for the Reset Mode message. Then, the user can send an Intel HEX Þle supplied by Patton. After the VT100 emulator has Þnished sending this Þle, the 3088RC will respond with a mes-sage stating how many errors were detected. The user may then set the DIP switches to the desired conÞguration and power cycle the unit to run the upgraded software.

ConÞguration Reset to Factory Defaults

To recover from a forgotten password, the user may reset the unit to its factory conÞguration. After seeing the Reset Mode message, the user should type the ‘*’ key. This will result in a ‘:’ prompt. At the prompt, the user should enter the command reset. This will restore the unit to the fac- tory conÞguration. The unit can then be restarted with the settings in place.

3.5 CONFIGURING THROUGH THE CONSOLE

The 3088RC offers a console command line interface. To access the console, use a VT100 emulator conÞgured to 9600 bps, 1 stop bit, no parity, and XON-XOFF ßow control. Use the 1001CC to access the con- sole. Type CTRL+B <address> <enter> to activate the console. Log into the unit using the default password. No username will be needed.

Note Log in with the default password superuser.

You can conÞgure the following variables through the console:

•Password: The password used to login to the console.

•Circuit ID: The circuit ID communicated to other units via EOC. EOC (Embedded Operations Channel) is an out-of-band channel speciÞed in the G.991.2 standard for SHDSL. We use standard EOC messages for our remote loopback. The 3088RC also supports proprietary EOC messages that allow a 3096RC to conÞgure it.

•Clock Mode: The following options are available:

—Internal: The internal oscillator in the 3088RC provides the clock to both the serial/T1/E1 and DSL interfaces.

—External: The serial interface provides the clock for the DSL interface (V.35, X.21). It must be set to DTE for the X.21 inter- face. (This mode is invalid for the Ethernet model).

—Receive Recover: The 3088RC recovers the clock from the DSL interface and provides it to the serial/E1 interface.

3088RC, RocketLink-G NTU Rack Mount G.SHDSL Modem Card specifications

The Patton Electronics 3088RC, also known as the RocketLink-G NTU Rack Mount G.SHDSL Modem Card, is a robust and versatile solution designed to enable high-speed data communication over copper lines. This modem card is particularly favored by telecommunications providers and businesses seeking reliable connectivity in demanding environments.

One of the key features of the 3088RC is its G.SHDSL technology, which allows for symmetric data transmission at speeds up to 5.7 Mbps. This symmetric speed makes it ideal for businesses that require the same upload and download speeds, ensuring efficient performance for applications such as video conferencing, cloud services, and file sharing. Furthermore, G.SHDSL offers longer range capabilities compared to traditional DSL technologies, achieving distances up to 12,000 feet or more, depending on line conditions.

The 3088RC is designed for easy integration into existing rack mount installations. It occupies a single 19-inch rack unit, making it a space-efficient option for service providers looking to maximize their hardware capacity. The installation process is straightforward, allowing for quick deployment in various settings, from small offices to larger enterprise environments.

In terms of power, the Patton 3088RC supports both AC and DC power inputs, providing flexibility in installation. The card also features built-in network management capabilities. This includes SNMP support for remote monitoring and troubleshooting, allowing IT administrators to keep track of performance and quickly identify issues without needing to be physically present.

Moreover, the device guarantees high reliability with its advanced error correction techniques, which enhance data integrity over longer distances and in environments with significant interference. Equipped with a robust design, the 3088RC operates well in fluctuating temperatures, ensuring durability and consistent performance.

Security is also a priority, as the RocketLink-G offers features that protect against unauthorized access and data breaches. This is particularly crucial for businesses handling sensitive information.

To conclude, the Patton Electronics 3088RC RocketLink-G NTU Rack Mount G.SHDSL Modem Card represents a comprehensive solution for reliable high-speed connectivity. Its blend of advanced technology, ease of integration, and focus on performance makes it an attractive choice for service providers and enterprises aiming to enhance their data communications infrastructure.
