Patton electronics 2784 NAU, 2784 Specification Sheet

he Patton 2784 Network Access Unit is a multiservice,
integrated access platform that enables service providers to
integrate dial-in modem users, Internet, Extranets, Corporate
Intranets or IP LANs–using Ethernet, Frame Relay, or PPP–over

a single network backbone connection.

Network connectivity has developed into an integral part of today’s
business infrastructure. The number of connected users directly
translates into an increased demand for WAN access. Private enterprise
networks, incumbent local exchange carriers, and competitive local
exchange carriers (CLEC's) have all found that, in order to compete
effectively, they must offer products and services which form an
integrated solution.

By providing an integrated business solution, carriers now have the
opportunity to leverage technology to further their own business
objectives. By eliminating multiple pieces of equipment, application
performance is enhanced. Through simplified configuration and network
management, maintenance and support costs are dramatically reduced.

Product Overview

The 2784 NAU enables the small/medium-size enterprise to
take advantage of multiservice networking using a single
multifunction platform for service concentration. The
enterprise customer can now employ a single carrier facility
(T1 or E1) for voice, data, Internet, LAN and remote access
applications.

Frame Relay virtual circuits allow interoffice
communications without using additional leased lines,
dramatically reducing both equipment and facilities’ costs.
Frame Relay’s ability to combine multiple streams of
“bursty” data over a single physical interface provides the
advantage of high bandwidth and wide area connectivity.

The Drop-and-Insert port serves an attached PABX for
local voice calls to the public switched telephone network.
Through user configurable timeslot selection, the 2784 NAU

can process Voice and Modem calls by routing a call to
either the PABX or to an internal modem for dial-in remote
access (RAS).

By answering and terminating both analog (V.90,
K56Flex™, V.34+) and digital (ISDN) calls, the 2784
functions as a Remote Access server. Each call is processed
by a single DSP functioning as a digital modem. PPP/SLIP
users easily become an attached node on the network. Built­in filtering offers security over users’ activity on the network.

IP Routing permits access of local area network traffic
either to remote offices or to the Internet through the built-in
routing engine. IP datagrams, routed by the CPU, are then
forwarded to a FR/PPP WAN port or a 10Mbps Ethernet
LAN for delivery.

The 2784 NAU provides for extensive
connection management and operator control
from a variety of local and remote interfaces.
Each 64kbps DS0 can be configured to support
six unique services–all using an easy-to-learn
GUI.

Management interfaces are presented through a
built-in SNMP agent, an embedded HTTP Web
server, or via a standard TELNET session.
Access, with security through multi-permission
passwords, is accomplished through the RS-232
console port, Ethernet port, Frame Relay port,
or through any dial-in port.

The built-in HTTP server allows each 2784
management screen to appear as an intuitive
Web page to the user. Operators can configure,
control, monitor or receive status on any 2784
parameter–from any PC.
