configuration commands to add a VLAN tag to a packet.
Does the Patton Model 1058 pass higher layer protocol such as TCP/IP
packets?

not read the TCP/IP packets, but will pass the packets on transparently.
Is the Model 1058 capable of bridging?
Yes, the Model 1058 will automatically learn, age, and filter 32 source addresses. Destination
addresses of incoming frames are compared with the Source Address in the address table and
discarded if an entry exists; otherwise, they are forwarded over the VDSL link.
Can voice and data be used simultaneously?
Yes, voice and data can be used simultaneously.
Will the POTS/ISDN port on the Model 1058DV operate without power?
The built-in POTS/ISDN Splitter (1058DV only) is a passive element and does not require
power to operate. The POTS/ISDN port is able to provide a “life-line” telephone link provided
the physical connection between the CO and CP VDSL modems is still intact.
