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.
Introduction19
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.

Defines the number of DSL timeslots. The DSL data rate is calculated
by the equation: data rate = DSL timeslots x 64k. This value also
defines the maximum serial/T1/E1 data rate.
Defines the total number of serial/T1/E1 timeslots utilized. This value
must be less than or equal to DSL timeslots.
Defines T1/E1–to–DSL timeslot mapping. By default defined/utilized
DSL timeslots are mapped to the first n data–bearing timeslots on the

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.
