1 • General information
IpLink Model 2884 Overview
The Model 2884 Series T1/E1 Channelized Gigabit Routers (figure 1) are a family of multi-media routers that
terminate up to 124 PPP channels as well as perform Layer 2 bonding of T1/E1 WAN ports with multi-link
PPP. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports ensure connection to any LAN infrastructure.
The IPLink™ Channelized Gigabit Routers offer pre-set priorities for voice and video traffic on a per port
basis up to a user configurable bandwidth. QoS configurations ease the bandwidth management of ports and
applications through the creation of QoS classes and profiles. Traffic can be shaped and policed to provide full
QoS control over both the egress and ingress directions. ToS/DiffServ bits can be re-striped to ensure networkwide QoS enforcement. VLAN priority bits can be used for QoS enforcement.
Stateful Firewall inspection of traffic is accomplished through the creation of Access Control Lists (ACLs) that
enable the filtering of traffic based on numerous criteria including source and destination IP address, port and
protocol.
Logical and physical ports are selectable for bridging or routing. Advanced IP features such NAT/NAPT and
VLANs are likewise configurable on a per port basis. By supporting the latest version of PPP/BCP, the IPLink
transparently negotiates the passing of VLAN traffic over PPP based WAN links. Bridged traffic can be tagged
and prioritized according to user defined parameters.
The 2884 Model Series boasts easy installation, offering CLI configuration via Console/VT-100 or Telnet/SSH, and HTTP web based management, and SNMP. Patton's series of high-speed access routers offer the
versatility and reliability demanded for business-class applications at the most affordable price..

IpLink Model 2888 Overview
The Model 2888 Four-Port T1/E1 Multi-Megabit Inverse Multiplexer (figure 2) provides point-to-point highbandwidth Ethernet/IP connectivity over TDM-based T1/E1 circuits. Dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports
ensure easy connection to any LAN infrastructure.
In order to maximize the bandwidth utilization over the T1/E1 links, the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux uses
Multi-Link PPP to bond the individual circuits into one high bandwidth WAN link. Ethernet/IP traffic is
transparently bridged over the link using PPP/BCP which adds minimal encapsulation overhead when compared to ATM.
Key features make the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux an ideal solution for VLAN trunk extension. The Inverse
Mux supports IEEE 802.1p/Q VLAN tagging and priority. VLAN tagged traffic that is received on any of the
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces is transparently transported over the WAN to the matching Inverse Mux on the
other side. The VLAN priority bits are inspected and the QoS of the individual Ethernet frames are preserved
end-to-end. The Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux likewise supports VLAN tagging of Ethernet traffic.
ACLs allow Layer 3 filtering and Layer 3 based QoS of the VLAN and bridge connections. Filter by IP address,
IP port or even protocol. Use the ACL to force an inspection of the ToS/DiffServ bits and preserve end-to-end
QoS.
The 2888 Model Series boasts easy installation, offering CLI configuration via Console/VT-100 or Telnet/SSH, HTTP web based management, and SNMP. Patton's series of high-speed access routers offer the versatility and reliability demanded for business-class applications at the most affordable price..

Radio and TV Interference
The IpLink router generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly-that is, in
strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions-may cause interference to radio and television reception.
The IpLink router have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in
accordance with specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the IpLink router does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the
receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet
(such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).

E1 Port
The E1 Port is usually connected to a PBX or switch—local exchange (LE). Type and pin outs of these devices
vary depending on the manufacturer. In most cases, a straight-through RJ-45 to RJ-45 can be used to connect
the T1/E1 Port with a PBX. A cross-over cable is required to connect to an NT device, as illustrated in
figure 14 on page 45.
Hazardous network voltages are present in the T1/E1 cables. If you detach the
cable, detach the end away from the IpLink or interface card first to avoid possible electric shock. Network hazardous voltages may be present on the device
