Model 3231 Overview
The Patton Electronics Model 3231 Industrial Ethernet Extender with LCD provides high speed 2-wire con-
nectivity to ISPs, PTTs, and enterprise environments using Symmetrical High-data-rate Digital Subscriber
Line (G.SHDSL) technology.
The Model 3231 provides a 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface on a shielded RJ-45 jack, the DSL on an RJ-11
jack, and the RS-232 console port on an RJ-45 jack.
As a symmetric, full-duplex NTU, the DSL port offers equal data rates in both directions over a single twisted
pair using TC-PAM modulation. Line connection is made through the RJ-11 jack. Standard versions of Model
3231 are powered by a UI (universal 100–240 VAC) supply.
