The Model 2888 provides point-to-point high-bandwidth Ethernet/IP connectivity over TDM-based T1/E1 circuits.
If you need to increase raw bandwidth between two locations the Model 2888 is right for you. An ideal solution for IPDSLAM traffic backhaul, the 2888 uses ML-PPP to aggregate up to 4 T1/E1
TDM ports and provide perfect complement to any MxU DSLAM installation.

4-port T1/E1 Inverse Mux—Using ML PPP bond from
2-4 T1/E1 ports to create a single high-bandwidth WAN
link over TDM circuits.
Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports—With Dual 10/100/1000,
auto-MDI ports easily connect to any LAN infrastructure.
End-to-end QoS—Inspect and preserve VLAN priority as
well as ToS/Diffserv bits to maintain end-to-end QoS.
VLAN Trunk Extension—Tag untagged traffic, preserve
VLAN QoS, or simply transparently forward VLAN traffic.
Layer 3 Traffic Filtering—Assign an ACL to the bridge or
VLAN connection
VLAN Tagging—VLAN tagging and processing is config-
urable on any T1/E1 channel or Ethernet port.
Easy Management—Easily manage the 2888 router via
an HTTP/web interface, a CLI accessible via the VT100
console or through Telnet/SSH, or via SNMP.
Large MTU size support for frame sizes greater
than 9216.

Multi-Megabit Inverse Multiplexer facilitates the bonding of up to 4 T1/E1
ports into a high-bandwidth WAN link to feed the most bandwidth hungry applications.

The Model 2888 Four-Port T1/E1 Multi-Megabit Inverse
Multiplexer provides point-to-point high-bandwidth
Ethernet/IP connectivity over TDM-based T1/E1 circuits.
Dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports ensure easy connection
to any LAN infrastructure.
In order to maximize the bandwidth utilization over the
T1/E1 links, the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux uses Multi-Link
PPP to bond the individual circuits into one high bandwidth
WAN link. Ethernet/IP traffic is transparently bridged over
the link using PPP/BCP which adds minimal encapsulation
overhead when compared to ATM.
Key features make the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux an ideal
solution for VLAN trunk extension. The Inverse Mux supports
IEEE 802.1p/Q VLAN tagging and priority. VLAN tagged
traffic that is received on any of the Gigabit Ethernet inter-
faces is transparently transported over the WAN to the
matching Inverse Mux on the other side. The VLAN priority
bits are inspected and the QoS of the individual Ethernet
frames are preserved end-to-end. The Multi-Megabit Inverse
Mux likewise supports VLAN tagging of Ethernet traffic.
ACLs allow Layer 3 filtering and Layer 3 based QoS of the
VLAN and bridge connections. Filter by IP address, IP port or
even protocol. Use the ACL to force an inspection of the
ToS/DiffServ bits and preserve end-to-end QoS.
The 2888 Model Series boasts easy installation, offering
CLI configuration via Console/VT-100 or Telnet/SSH, HTTP
web based management, and SNMP. Patton’s series of
high-speed access routers offer the versatility and reliability
demanded for business-class applications at the most
affordable price.
