configuration. Instead of an Ethernet to T1 conversion, this approach would
allow native Ethernet throughout the network.
One Ethernet port mapped to an SHDSL bonded group
This configuration increases the speed of the WAN link. This configuration
applies to the same scenarios as the instance where one Ethernet port is
mapped to one SHDSL port. However, you use this scenario when there is a
need for greater bandwidth. With two ports bonded together, you can raise
your throughput to 11.4 Mbps. This is appropriate for bursty LAN traffic
because the Ethernet port support throughput at 100 Mbps and the DSL port
supports throughput at 11 Mbps.
Ethernet ports mapped to different SHDSL bonded groups
In this configuration, two independent Ethernet ports are connected to
different bonded SHDSL groups. This configuration operates as two Ethernet
extenders in the same physical unit. This feature allows for transparent LAN
services. It could be possible for Company A to use Ethernet port 1 and
Company B to use Ethernet port 3. With features such as Plans, the traffic
