Safety when working with electricity

•Do not open the device when the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch and without an external power adapter, line voltages are present within the device when the power cord is connected.

WARNING

•For devices with an external power adapter, the power adapter shall be a listed imited Power Source The mains outlet that is utilized to power the device shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in compliance with local regulatory requirements.

•For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable used meets all applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed.

•For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor power plugs (L1, L2 & GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/Protective Ground), the wall outlet (or socket) must have an earth ground.

•For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnecting cables are rated for proper voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.

•WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have hazardous voltages present regardless of whether the device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to interfaces such as telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL, T1, E1, ISDN, Voice, etc. These are known as “hazardous network voltages” and to avoid electric shock use caution when working near these ports. When disconnecting cables for these ports, detach the far end connection first.

•Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

This device contains no user serviceable parts. This device can only be repaired by qualified service personnel.

WARNING

This device is NOT intended nor approved for connection to the PSTN. It is intended only for connection to customer premise equipment.

WARNING

In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/ 96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE collection system in your country for recycling.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent

CAUTION failures. Do the following to prevent ESD:

•Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards.

•Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.

•To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

General observations

•Clean the case with a soft slightly moist anti-static cloth

•Place the unit on a flat surface and ensure free air circulation

•Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight and other heat sources

•Protect the unit from moisture, vapors, and corrosive liquids

RocketLink-G 3088 overview

The Patton Electronics Model 3088 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.

As a symmetric DSL NTU, RocketLink DSL offers the same data rates in both directions over a single pair of regular twisted pair lines using TC-PAM modulation. Line connection is made with an RJ-45 jack. Standard versions of Model 3088 are powered by an 100/230 VAC (Universal) supply. The NTU features externallyaccessible DIP switches, loopback diagnostics, SNMP/HTTP remote-management capabilities using RocketLink Plug ‘n’ Play, as well as in-band management.

Figure 1. RocketLink-G 3088

Model 3088 Series User Manual	2 • Configuration

Introduction

You can configure the RocketLink-G (see figure 3) in one of two ways:

•Software configuration using command line interface (CLI) via the console port

•Hardware configuration via DIP switches

Figure 3. RocketLink-G (Model 3088/D shown)

Software (CLI) configuration

To use software configuration you must set all the DIP switches to the ON position before powering-up the RocketLink-G. When all the DIP switches are set to ON the RocketLink-G will operate in software-configura- tion mode. When set for software-configuration mode the RocketLink-G will read any configuration data previously saved to FLASH memory during system power-up. If no configuration data was previously saved to FLASH, then the RocketLink-G will load the factory-default configuration from FLASH memory. After power-up, you may use console commands or the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC) to modify the configuration parameters.

Hardware (DIP-switch) configuration

To use DIP-switch configuration you must first set the DIP switches to a position other than all OFF or all ON before powering-up the RocketLink-G. When all the DIP switches are set to any position other than all OFF or all ON the RocketLink-G will operate in hardware (DIP-switch)-configuration mode. In DIP-switch-configu- ration mode the RocketLink-G will read the DIP-switch settings during system startup and configure itself according to the switch settings.

Once you power-up the RocketLink-G in DIP-switch mode it will operate in DIP-switch mode until powereddown. When operating in DIP-switch mode you cannot change any configuration settings:

•Changing the DIP switch settings while the device is running will not modify the operating configuration because the RocketLink-G only reads the DIP switches during system startup.

•If you attempt to modify the configuration by issuing console commands, the device will not execute your commands. Instead, the RocketLink-G will respond with a message indicating the device is operating in DIP-switch-configuration mode.

Introduction

Model 3088 Series User Manual	2 • Configuration

•If you attempt to modify any configuration parameters via the EOC (by changing (EOC variables), the RocketLink-G will not execute your changes.

Configuring the DIP switches

The Model 3088 is equipped with two sets of DIP switches, which you can use to configure the RocketLink-G for a broad range of applications. This section describes switch locations and discusses the configuration options available.

Note By default, the RocketLink-G’s DIP switches are all set to “ON” so the NTU can be configured via RocketLink Plug ‘n’ Play from a 3096RC. If that is how you will be configuring the NTU, skip ahead to section “Console” on page 32. Otherwise, read the following sections to manually configure the DIP switch settings.

The two sets of DIP switches are externally accessible from the underside of the Model 3088 (see figure 4).

System reset mode

To enter system reset mode, switch all DIP switches to the OFF position and power cycle the unit. You can use a VT100 emulator configured for 19,200 kbps/1 stop bit/ no parity/ XON-XOFF flow control to access the console. Upon restart, you will see the message “Reset Mode”.

System reset mode provides two functions:

•Software upgrades

•Configuration reset to factory defaults

Software upgrades

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

Configuration reset to factory defaults

To recover from a forgotten password, the user may reset the unit to its factory configuration. 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 factory configuration. The unit can then be restarted with the settings in place.

DIP switch settings

You can configure the 3088 by setting the DIP switches to the desired positions before you power up the Rock- etLink-G. If the DIP switches are set to anything other than all OFF or all ON, the RocketLink-G will operate in DIP switch configuration mode. Once the device is powered up and operating in DIP switch configuration mode, you cannot change configuration by any method until you power it down again.
