Chapter 1 Introduction 

The NexusLink 3112u Multi DSL Bonded Router is a single box solution for triple play 
applications. It features dual xDSL bonded ports that provide twice the xDSL 
bandwidth (ADSL2+ in both ATM/PTM modes and VDSL2 PTM 
8a/8b/8c/8d/12a/12b/17a profiles) over comparable single-port models. With PTM 
mode supported, it can provide better performance than a regular ATM mode router. 
The NexusLink 3112u is equipped with three Fast Ethernet ports, one Gigabit port 
and 802.11n WLAN Access Point (AP). It goes above and beyond with high level 
features such as QoS, VPN and remote management (with TR-069 support).
