Safety when working with electricity
The IPLink contains no user serviceable parts. The equipment shall be returned
to Patton Electronics for repairs, or repaired by qualified service personnel.
Opening the IPLink case will void the warranty.
Mains Voltage: Do not open the case the when the power cord is attached. For
systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power
supply when the power cords are connected. The mains outlet that is utilized
to power the devise shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be
easily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker.
For units with an external power adapter, the adapter shall be a listed Lim-
ited Power Source.
For AC powered units, ensure that the power cable used with this device
meets all applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed,
and that it is connected to a wall outlet which has earth ground.
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether
power to the IPLink is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock, use caution when
near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the IPLink
first.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone network cables to avoid
contact with telephone line voltages. When detaching the cables, detach the
end away from the IPLink first .

General observations
•Clean the case with a soft slightly moist anti-static cloth
•Place the unit on a flat surface and ensure free air circulation
•Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight and other heat sources
•Protect the unit from moisture, vapors, and corrosive liquids
The power supply automatically adjusts to accept an input volt-
age from 100 to 240 VAC (50/60 Hz).
Verify that the proper voltage is present before plugging the
power cord into the receptacle. Failure to do so could result in
equipment damage.
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use
and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt-
age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
mechanical serviceability.
In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/
96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other
waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE collection system in

IPLink Model 3210 Series overview
The IPLink Model 3210 Series G.SHDSL VPN Router (see figure 1) is a next generation business-class
G.SHDSL router that addresses both the security and the traffic prioritization needs of enterprises while pro-
viding complete broadband integration with existing DSLAM neteworks. VPN routers enable the secure com-
munication between remote offices, home offices, and mobile users across insecure IP networks such as the
Internet. The 3210 takes it one step further and integrates quality of service (QoS).
Figure 1. IPLink G.SHDSL VPN Router
The Model 3210 provides two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports and one G.SHDSL port to deliver a managed vir-
tual-private-network (VPN) connection over the Internet or any unsecured IP network.
The IPlink 3210 Router supports Frame-Relay and PPP networking with VPN and firewall functionality.
Authentication and firewall services protect against unauthorized users while encryption, and anti-replay capa-
bilities preserve data confidentiality. Patton's powerful CoS and QoS mechanisms provide traffic-shaping and
prioritization to guarantee your mission-critical data is delivered promptly and unimpeded by traffic from
other users on the same LAN. Besides assuring first priority for key information, Patton's advanced QoS tech-
nology enhances the quality and clarity of realtime application such as live voice and video communications
with the main office. These compact VPN Routers support PPP/PPPoE and Frame Relay services over the
serial WAN link.
The IPLink VPN Router performs the following major functions:
•Routed LAN-to-WAN connectivity between two 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports and one G.SHDSL port.
•IP Routing with class-of-service/quality-of-service (CoS/QoS) support for Internet or IP-WAN access with
traffic shaping and prioritization.
•VPN tunneling for secure traversal of unsecured IP networks
•IPSec payload encryption with authentication header (AH, specified in RFC 2402) and encapsulating secu-
rity payload (ESP, specified in RFC 2406) protects data integrity and confidentiality and prevents unautho-
rized data-replay.
