3.9 CONNECTING THE ETHERNET REAR CARD

The Model 3088RC/C/AI module plugs into Patton’s1092ARC and 3088RC modems to provide Ethernet LAN extension. The 3088RC/C/AI has no switches or jumpers and does not need to be conÞgured. How- ever, factors such as the type of medium, throughput across the link and clocking mode must be determined by the settings of the baseband modems. Please refer to your baseband modem (i.e. 1092, and 1095) to make the following settings.

1.Bit Rate: The DTE rate setting of your base unit corresponds to the throughput of your 3088RC/C/AI bridge module. Use higher speeds to allow maximum throughput to your extended LAN. Use lower speeds to limit the access of your extended LAN.

Note The 3088RC/C/AI only supports synchronous speeds.

2.Clocking Mode: Set the clocking modes on the base units so that one unit is conÞgured for Internal clocking mode and the other unit is set for Receive Recover clocking mode.

3.When using the 3088RC/C/AI, DISABLE, the “Enable Loop from DTE” Switch on the front function card (1092ARC or 3088RC).

4.All other base unit settings depend upon your application and on the application medium (twisted pair or coaxial cable)

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.
