RocketLink-G Plug ‘n’ Play
The RocketLink-G Plug ‘n’ Play feature allows ISPs, carriers and PTTs to quickly upgrade the link speed for a
customer without requiring a visit to re-configure the Customer Premise (CP) Model 3088/I. This feature also
allows service providers to set up all of the configurations at the Central Office (via the ForeFront AIS system)
before installing the stand alone units at the customer site. This saves time doing on-site configuration.
Note RocketLink-G Plug ‘n’ Play is only available when using a ForeFront Model
3096RC as the CO unit.
The RocketLink-G Plug ‘n’ Play feature allows the user to configure the DTE rate of the CP unit (Remote) via
the ForeFront
Model 3096RC at the Central Office (Central). The stand alone unit at the Customer Premise
(CP) site will automatically configure itself to the DTE rate (Bandwidth Allocation) defined at the Model
3096RC. Other configuration parameters remain in the default setting.
Follow the instructions below to activate RocketLink Plug ‘n’ Play between CO (Model 3096RC) and CP
(Model 3088/I) units:
Set the Model 3096RC (CO) to either Internal or External clocking mode as defined by the application.
Verify that the Model 3088/I (CP) is configured for factory default settings.
Figure 20. Typical RocketLink Plug ‘n’ Play Application
When the units connect over DSL, the 3088/I (CP) will enter a predefined default configuration. During the
negotiation process between the units, the 3096RC (CO unit) will configure the DTE rate/line rate on the
3088/I as defined by the settings of the CO unit. When additional bandwidth is required, only the configura-
tion of the CO unit should be changed. This feature gives ISPs, LECs and PTTs the ability to provision band-
width on an as needed basis to customers.
