RocketLink-G 3088/I overview

The Patton Electronics Model 3088/I G.SHDSL RocketLink provides high speed 2-wire connectivity to ISPs,

PTTs, and enterprise environments using Symmetrical High-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line

(G.SHDSL) technology.

The Model 3088/I provides a 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface on a shielded RJ-45 jack, the DSL on an RJ-11

jack, and the RS-232 console port on an RJ-45 jack.

As a symmetric, full-duplex NTU, the RocketLink DSL offers equal data rates in both directions over a single

twisted pair using TC-PAM modulation. Line connection is made through the RJ-11 jack. Standard versions

of Model 3088/I are powered by a UI (universal 100–240 VAC) supply.

Figure 1. RocketLink-G 3088/I

Features

• Symmetrical high data-rate DSL (G.SHDSL)

• Data rates up to 4.6Mbps in 64-kbps intervals

• 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface

• RS-232 console port for management and conﬁguration

• Built-in testing and diagnostics

• RocketLink Plug ‘n’ Play for easy installations

• Interoperable with other Patton G.SHDSL modems

• Conﬁgurable as remote (CP) units

• Conﬁgurable as central (CO) units to operate back-to-back

• Front-panel status indicators

• CE marked
