Model 3201/3241 G.SHDSL Router Modem overview
The Patton Models 3201 and 3241 router modems are G.SHDSL routers/bridges for delivering basic and
advanced IP services from the wide-area network to a local 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN.
G.SHDSL offers an alternative, standards based DSL transmission medium. It offers connection speeds of 2.3
Mbps (Model 3201) or 4.6 Mbps (Model 3241) in each direction over a single twisted-pair (TP). Supporting
100 or more users, the router modems are optimized for users in a small office, as an enterprise tele-working
solution or for multimedia high-speed Internet access. Local and remote web-based management ensures easy
setup and continuous trouble-free operation.
