Tahoe 289 E3/T3/Ethernet Bridge
Introduction
Tahoe® 289 bridges allow connecting two LANs over an E3 / T3 (DS3) line. They are a cost-effective
alternative to expensive E3 / T3 routers.
Bridges are transparent, that is both interconnected networks appear as a single LAN, as if both
were plugged into the same Ethernet switch.
Tahoe 289 has two network interfaces, the serial WAN G.703 interface and the FastEthernet inter-
face for Local Area Network (LAN) connection.
G.703 interface
The G.703 (WAN) interface consists of two coaxial BNC connectors. One of them is a transmit out-
put (Tx), while the other one is a receive input (Rx). The Tx and Rx connectors should be connected
to the corresponding line terminating the equipment’s Rx and Tx ports.
The WAN interface type – E3 or T3 depends on the device variant and should be specified during
ordering. The data transmission rates are 34.368 Mbps and 44.736 Mbps respectively.
