Tahoe 681/682/684 - G.SHDSL+ Modems with FastEthernet interface
Tahoe 681 and Tahoe 682 modems take advantage of the latest G.shdsl technology providing unprecedented possibilities for copper leased lines. They achieve throughputs of nearly 11.4 Mbps (symmetrical) on the distance of a few kilometres - faster and further than any other modem technology. Developed to combine performance, quality, and scalability, the Tahoe range of next generation DSL modems take advantage of the latest G.SHDSL technology to help address customers’ needs for greater bandwidth while using existing copper infrastructure. The Tahoe 681 uses a single pair of copper cabling achieving data rates up to 5.7Mbps. The Tahoe 682 uses two pairs of copper cabling with speeds of up to 11.4Mbps. The Tahoe 684 uses four pairs of copper cabling achieving speeds up to 22.8Mbps. The modem has a built-in TCP/IP router and an Ethernet 10/100Base-T interface allowing connection directly to a LAN. The Tahoe is manageable using telnet, SNMP, serial console or built-in LCD and keyboard. Traffic statistics are available through the embedded HTTP server while Modem status messages can be sent to a central server using the syslog protocol. Further advanced features include automatic traffic balancing between DSL lines, the ability to configure individual line rates on each transmission line to cater for differences between line pair quality. The modems will also continue to operate should pairs fail, a feature that sets this product apart from its peers.

The Tahoe 684 is a new member of the successful Tahoe G.shdsl+ family providing even greater throughputs of nearly 22.8Mbps (symmetrical) on the distance of a few kilometres.
Here's an example application diagram for the Tahoe 684:
Apart from typical G.shdsl modulations the Tahoe 684 supports TCPAM-32 coding - much more efficient than the standard TCPAM-16, giving higher throughputs and higher reach.
Features:
- Built-in TCP/IP router
- NAT/masquerade
- firewall
- built-in LCD and keyboard for easy configuration
- telnet and SSH management
- SNMP management
- serial console management
- DHCP/BOOTP server (dynamic assigning of IP addresses and other parameters to each network station)
- DHCP/BOOTP Relay Agent (relaying of the DHCP/BOOTP requests to a central server)
- firmware upgrade using TFTP
- managed or unmanaged bridge functionality
- logging through syslog
- 802.1q VLAN support
- additional protection against unauthorized LAN access
- inside temperature measurement
- automatic traffic balancing among four DSL lines
- individual throughput settings for each line (in case of quality differences between the lines)
- automatic fall back to 6-, 4- or 2-wire transmission in case of line failure
