]]> <![CDATA[What is G.SHDSL?]]>
 G.SHDSL is the newest standard for symmetric DSL. It works over 2-wires and improves both the distances achievable by DSL and the spectral compatibility with other services often present in a twisted pair bundle. The ITU standard for G.SHDSL is G.911.2. Annex A describs the transmission and performance requirements for North America and Annex B describes performance and transmission requirements for Europe. SHDSL has been standardized by three different standardization bodies: ANSI(T1E1.4/2001-174) for North America, ETSI(TS101524) for Europe and ITU-T(G.991.2) worldwide.
]]> <![CDATA[Must the DiamondLink G.HDSL Routers or 3086 IADs be used in pairs...]]>  In order to establish a G.HSDSL connection, there must be a modem on each end of the link. This does not mean that a DiamondLink/IAD modem must be on each end. The DiamondLink/IAD modem can be used with the following options on the other end of the twisted pair:
1. Another DiamondLink G.HDSL Router
2. Another Patton G.SHDSL CPE or IAD device such as the Patton Model 3086 G.SHDSL IAD
3. One of Patton;s G.SHDSL DSLAM options such as the 2096RC Digital Access Concentrator or the 3224 ipDSLAM.
4. A third party G.SHDSL CPE modem.
5. A third party G.HSDSL DSLAM. As long as the third party modems and DSLAMs implement the G.SHDSL standard, the DiamondLink router can be used in conjunction with them across the twisted pair. Operation above the standardized 2.6 Mbps is dependent upon vendor implementation and interoperability at these higher rates will vary. 
]]> <![CDATA[Do the G.SHDSL products support Network Address Translations(NAT)...]]>  Yes, both of these models support NAT (RFC3022) with Network Address Port Translation(NAPT). They also support MultiNat with 1:1, Many:1, Many:many mapping as well as Port/IP redirection and mapping.]]> <![CDATA[ Do the G.SHDSL products support bridging? ]]>  Yes. They automatically learn, age and filter 1,024 source addresses. Destination addresses of incoming frames are compared with the Source Address in the address table and discarded if an entry exists; otherwise, they are forwarded over the DSL Extension.]]> <![CDATA[What are the ethernet capabilities of the 3201,3241 and 3086? ]]>
 They are capable of connecting to Ethernet Hubs and Switches, remote PCs and any other network enabled device. The MDI-X switch is used to allow the units to connect to either a hub(DCE) or PC(DTE) device eliminating the neede to decide whether a straight-through or cross-over connection is needed. With a simple push of the MDI-X switch, the unit itself will change the connection from straight-through to a crossover or back again. The Ethernet port automatically senses 10 or 100 Base-T Ethernet connections. Additionally they can automatically sense full or half-duplex Ethernet connections.
]]> <![CDATA[What HDSL standards do the DiamondLink G.HSDSL routers And IpRock...]]>  The DiamondLink G.HSDSL routers supports all the SHDSL standards developed by ANSI (T1E1.4/2001-174, ETSI(TS 101524) and ITU-T(G.991.2). The routers offer selectable support for both Annex A (North America) and Annex B(Europe). They implement TC-PAM 16 as the standard line coding.]]> <![CDATA[ How are the G.SHDSL products configured?]]>  These models can easily be configured using several methods. The are user selectable to allow ATN, PPP or HDLC WAN data link connections and allow a variety of local and remote configuration and management options:


1. Web-based configuration via embedded web server. You just need a web browser to access the web pages.
2. CLI menu for configuration, management and diagnostics
3. Local/Remote CLI (VT-100 or telnet)
4. SNMPV1(RFC 1157) MIB II (RFC 1213)
5. Logging via SYSLOG and Vt-100 console. Console port set at 9600bps 8N1, no flow control
6. EOC access for End-to-end management, configuration and control. Additionally the 3086 IAD can be configured for DIP switch control for serial only environments.

     Based on the ETSI and International Telecommunications Union (ITU) G.SHDSL G.991.2 standard, the Patton 3086 ipRocketLink enables nx64 (n=3..36 with software key to offer up to n = 72) over a single pair of wires and presents a unique dual port user interface.
    The 3086 is available in a variety of version to provide customers with two local data interfaces. The 3086 line offers models that provide both a Synchronous Serial port (either V.35, X.21 or T1/E1) and Ethernet port and incorporates a high-speed business class router. All 3086 models can transport data over the Ethernet and the WAN ports at the same time. The 3086 offers both V.35/X.21/T1/E1 WAN interfaces and 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports. The sync serial port is available in either V.35 or X.21 versions. The ethernet port gives access to any IP network via the DSL link using ATM, PPP, HDLC or Frame Relay transport.
