About the 2800
Q: Will the 2800 work with less then 12 or 24/30 timeslots on an T1/E1?
A: Yes. When configuring the 2800, you can select which timeslots are active. This is done under
T1/E1 Link->Channel Assignment.
Q: Where do I find 2800 software updates?
A: You can find 2800 software updates at http://www.patton.com under Remote Access Server. Click
on 2800. There is a link for software updates. If this is your first time to log in, you will need the
Media Access Control (MAC) address. This is also known as the NIC address and is the Ethernet
address of your 2800. This can be found on the rear of your 2800 near the Ethernet port.
Q: What facilities are there for logging 2800 operational activities?
A: The 2800 contains several syslog options. You can log to a syslog host. You can log to the
console port. You can log to both volatile and non-volatile memory.
Q: Can I configure the 2800 to allow or disallow some modem modulations?
Q: Can I set a maximum speed allowed for a connection into the 2800?
A: Yes. This is under the Dial-In->Modify section on the web page. Under modem modulations you
can select the maximum speed allowed as well as disabling certain modulations.
Q: What routing protocols are supported?
A: The 2800 supports RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing protocols. OSPF is currently in development.
Q: What routed protocols are supported?
A: The 2800 is an IP based system and fully supports TCP/IP and its sub-protocols. The 2800 will
also pass NETBios broadcast messages which facilitates network neighborhood browsing from a
dial-in session.
Q: Is the 2800 Year 2000 compliant?
A: Yes. There is no date information in the 2800. All clock and time references are relative to when
the box was lasted booted and are counted from 10 ms ticks.
Q: What is V.90?
A: V.90 is the agreed upon 56K modulation standard and merges the K56Flex and X2 modulation
schemes. As recommended by Study Group 16 of the ITU-T on February 6, 1998, V.90 allows for
56 kps transfers on the downstream side of a modem connection. V.90 was ratified and made
official in September 1998.
Q: I have current users of K56Flex. Will they still be able to call in and get a K56 modulation?
A: Yes. The 2800 supports both V90 and K56Flex users.
Q: What modem modulations do you support?
A: (V.34+) or digital (K56Flex/V.90/ISDN) Modem modulations: K56Flex, V.34 Annex 12, V.34,
V.8, V.32bis, V.32, V.22, V.22bis, V.23, V.21, Bell 212A, Bell 103, Bell 202, EIA PN-2330
Software sync/async receiver/transmitter for V.14.
