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.

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-configura­tion 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-configu­ration 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.

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 “Con-
sole” on page 32. Otherwise, read the following sections to manually config-
ure 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.
