Software overview
Software overview
The Patton Model 2960/2996 supports all common remote access services as well as integrated routing and
forwarding (see
table 3
). Authentication and network management offer control and detailed monitoring from
any web browser. From the PSTN, the Model 2960/2996 RAS will accept either T1/E1 or PRI connections,
with support for both channel associated or common channel signaling.
