Voice/Data over Two Wires6.10.1998 GAITHERSBURG, Maryland, USA, May 29, 1998 - Patton Electronics Company has recently unveiled a voice/data QuikConnect modulefor their KiloModem series of baseband modems. The PattonVDQM--when installed in a Patton KiloModem--allows voice, faxand data traffic to be carried simultaneously over a 2-wireor 4-wire transmission circuit, at distances up to 10.8 miles(17.3 km). Supporting user interfaces for G3 fax, synchronousdata and PSTN/compressed voice traffic on a single module,the Patton VDQM is available in either FXS (appears as atelephone) or FXO (appears as a central office) configuration.Applications for the Patton VDQM include the interconnectionof branch offices, as well as the combining of Internet, voiceand fax traffic over a single circuit in a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) environment. The Patton VDQM plugs into the rear QuikConnect slot of aPatton KiloModem and presents three ports for device connection:Port 1 (RJ-11) supports voice or fax transmission up to14.4 kbps. Port 2 (RJ-11) supports a second voice line.Port 3 supports a synchronous data connection at speeds between64kbps and 704kbps, depending upon the model of KiloModem beingused. This data port is factory configured as a DCE, and isuser-configurable for V.35, RS-232, X.21, RS-530 or RS-485equipment connection. Such flexibility allows the PattonVDQM to connect to routers, switches, servers, multiplexersand other types of data communication hardware. When twoPatton KiloModems are connected over a 2 or 4 wire circuit--with each KiloModem housing a VDQM module--voice/fax (port 1),voice (port 2) and synchronous data (port 3) traffic arecombined at the local end and separated back out at theremote end. Applications A typical SOHO (FXS to FXO) application for the Patton VDQMmight look like this: One KiloModem (with VDQM module)resides at the SOHO; one KiloModem (with VDQM module)resides at the central office of the local telco. The twoKiloModems are connected by a 2B1Q circuit provided by thetelco. VDQM Port 1 connects a fax machine at the SOHO tothe central office switch. VDQM Port 2 connects a voice phoneat the SOHO to the central office switch. VDQM Port 3 connectsthe SOHO LAN (via router) to Internet/Intranet service providedby the telco. In this manner, the telco provides fax, voiceand high speed data service to the SOHO using one line andone box. The Patton VDQM can also connect two sites without a PBX(FXS to FXS) over a single leased line. In this case, VDQMport 1 would connect a fax machine at site A to a fax machineat site B, VDQM port 2 would connect a voice phone at site Ato a voice phone at site B, and VDQM port 3 would support anIntranet between sites A and B using low cost routers.
