IPLink Model 2800 Series overview
The IPLink Model 2800 Series Managed VPN Router (see
) delivers secure, optimized communica-
tions across unsecured IP networks between any enterprise headquarters and remote offices, home offices
(RoHo), or mobile users. Patton’s IPLink 2800 family of VPN routers combines an integrated synch-serial
interface for access to the Internet (or any IP network) with full-service IP routing, VPN security via IPSec,
and type-of-service/quality-of-service (ToS/QoS) traffic shaping and prioritization. The built-in V.35 or X.21
serial interface delivers LAN-to-WAN connectivity without the additional expense of external adapters or
CSU/DSU devices. The Model 2800 Series’ flexible AC or DC power-source options accommodate virtually
any installation environment.

Each member of the Model 2800 family provides two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports and one integrated T1/E1,
V.35, or X.21 synchronous serial WAN port to deliver a managed virtual-private-network (VPN) connection
over the Internet or any unsecured IP network.
IPlink 2800 Series Routers support Frame-Relay and PPP networking with VPN and firewall functionality.
Authentication and firewall services protect against unauthorized users while encryption, and anti-replay capa-
bilities preserve data confidentiality. Patton's powerful CoS and QoS mechanisms provide traffic-shaping and
prioritization to guarantee your mission-critical data is delivered promptly and unimpeded by traffic from
other users on the same LAN. Besides assuring first priority for key information, Patton's advanced QoS tech-
nology enhances the quality and clarity of realtime application such as live voice and video communications
with the main office. These compact VPN Routers support PPP/PPPoE and Frame Relay services over the
serial WAN link.
The IPLink VPN Router performs the following major functions:
•
Routed LAN-to-WAN connectivity between two 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports and one V.35, X.21, or syn-
chronous serial WAN port.
•
IP Routing with class-of-service/quality-of-service (CoS/QoS) support for Internet or IP-WAN access with
traffic shaping and prioritization.
