About the 2800
Q: What are the applications for the 2800?
A: The 2800 is ideally suited to concentrate dial-in users and routed IP LAN subnets. The Patton 2800
RAS offers three products: a 12 (T1 or E1)port unit, a 24 (T1) port unit and a 30 (E1) port unit. All
units use the identical software and there are no hardware changes to support Ts1, E1 or PRI
PSTN circuits This makes the 2800 RAS perfect for both the ISP and the Corporate user.
• 1U high box with 2-T1/E1/PRI, 1-console, 1-AUI/10Base-T Ethernet
• A two T1/E1/PRI box which can answer either 12, 24 or 30 V.90/K56Flex/V.34+/ISDN Calls
• Dualmode V.90 and K56Flex support
• Built-in HTTP server for complete server management using a standard WWW Browser
• No “forklift” upgrade – all upgrades are through software
• Distributed architecture ensures throughput efficiency
• Supports both analog and digital on the same line using one phone number
• 1:1 ratio of dial-in ports to dial-in PSTN connections
• Extensive Front Panel Status Indicators
• Supports T1/E1/PRI PSTN connections in the same box with the same software
• Supports Drop-and-Insert and Frame Relay/SyncPPP for Enterprise service bundling
• Dual cooling fans – units run cool with less then 40 watts of power can be stacked on top each
other
The 2800 permits the ISP or Enterprise to grow their dial-in remote access facilities one T1/E1/PRI
line at a time. This allows a tighter connection to dial-up revenues to the capital investment costs.
The 2800 runs operationally cool consuming less then 40 watts of power. This point is important for
the ISP installing uninterruptible power supply systems. Less power consumed by the 2800 means
longer “on” time as well as the ability to use less expensive UPS’s.
The 2800’s management system is a success with everyone who has tried it. The built-in web
server allows complete configuration and control of the 2800. Using a standard web browser, a
user can configure and monitor the 2800 status from any computer, anywhere in the world.
The Patton 2800 is designed to eliminate the “forklift upgrade” procedure. All features are through
free software upgrades. As new modem technologies emerge (e.g. VoIP, V.xx, etc) the 2800 will
be able to stand ahead of the pack. Also, the software upgrade procedure allows remote upgrades
using standard FTP tools.
Q: What is the difference between ports and modems?
A: For dial-in remote access a port is a modem. There is a 1:1 relationship between DSP’s and ports.
Each DSP can function as one V.90/K56Flex/V.34+ analog or one ISDN B channel termination.
Q: How many simultaneous dial-in ports (either analog or digital) can the 2800 support.
A: The following chart shows the models and maximum number of simultaneous ports
Patton Model MAX Number of
Simultaneous Dial-In
Connections (ports)
Model 2800 12
Model 2810 24
Model 2860 30
