Model 3034/3038 Overview
The Model 3034/3038 Series Multiport Asynchronous Statistical Multiplexer ( figure 1 ) consolidates up to
eight asynchronous data sources onto a single synchronous WAN link or IP/Ethernet LAN connection for
secure, reliable, and transparent multiplexing.
The Model 3038 offers advanced network and transmission options. The integrated composite port provides a
standard synchronous link connection to NTUs, DSUs or traditional WAN services. By including an Ethernet
port as a composite uplink, the Model 3038 also “future proofs” your legacy equipment. Now multiplexed data
can use existing LAN, WAN and Internet connections…simultaneously. Data security and service quality is
ensured with IPSec encryption as well as packet labeling and integrated data QoS with flow-control.
Reliable data is ensured via multiple CRC-16 checks, transparent data checksums and in-order data delivery. In
the event of an error, the Model 3038 automatically retransmits the data to insure transparent and error free
delivery. With user configurable flow control including software XON/XOFF, hardware RTS/CTS and combi-
nation provides optimal data transfer.
Integrated management offers both local and remote configuration, control and troubleshooting. Use the
supervisory port for out-of-band access or use LAN based services such as Telnet, WEB/HTTP and SNMP.
Per-port options allow for diagnostics loops, traffic statistics, review channel status and monitor ports and
events.
