Model 3231 Overview

The Patton Electronics Model 3231 Industrial Ethernet Extender with LCD 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 3231 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 DSL port 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 3231 are powered by a UI (universal 100–240 VAC) supply.

Figure 1. Model 3231

Features

• LCD panel for easy configuration and monitoring

• 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

• 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

Application

The Model 3231 is used as a network extender using a PPPoH bridge over DSL. PPPoH is an Ethernet extension because the same logical LAN exists at both ends of the modems and only bridging is required. PPPoH is network extension in the more general sense since a different logical network is on each end of the modems.
