2.2 DESCRIPTION
The NetLink
TM
10BaseT mDSL Rocket (Model 1088) is a Multi-
Rate DSL Modem that provides seamless MAC Layer connectivity
between 2 peered 10BaseT LANs. Now, Enterprise users no longer
need to hassle with a bridge and a CSU/DSU or recurring leased line
costs. The NetLink Rocket allows users to add additional nodes to a
LAN that has reached its maximum distance limits or separate high
traffic areas of a LAN. The Rocket connects peered LANs and auto-
matically forwards and receives LAN broadcasts, multi-casts and
frames across a 2-Wire DSL span. The 1088/I supports PPP (RFC
1661) and BCP (RFC 1638).
The
NetLink
TM
mDSL 10BaseT Rocket features include loop-
back diagnostics, inband SNMP/HTTP remote management capabili-
ties using NetLink Plug-and-Play and externally accessible configura-
tion switches. As a symmetric DSL modem, the NetLink
TM
mDSL
Rocket offers the same data rates in both directions over a single pair
of regular telephone lines using Carrierless Amplitude and Phase
(CAP) modulation. The Rocket connects to the DSL line via an RJ-45
jack. Standard power options include 115VAC, 230VAC, Universal
(115/230VAC) and any DC input between 36-60VDC.
