1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Checklist Check the contents of your package for following parts: Ethernet over VDSL Converter User's manual Power cord Telephone line If any of these pieces are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immediately, if possible, retain the carton including the original packing material, and use them against to repack the product in case there is a need to return it to us for repair.
1.2 Introduction To Ethernet over VDSL Converter General Description The converter is a switching architecture with four RJ45 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switching ports and one 10Mbps RJ11 symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (symmetry means 10Mbps upstream and 10Mbps downstream data rate). it is ideal for signal conversion by transmitting the Ethernet data from the standard twisted pair cable to the telephone cable and extending the distance.
central side. If you want to setup one pair of converters for point-to-point connection then one set must be client mode and the other one is master mode. The cable specifications of the connection are listed as following: 10BASE-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP 100BASE-TX, Category 5 UTP Ethernet over VDSL, Twisted-pair telephone wires The two drawings listed below are typical application for the Ethernet over VDSL converter.
1.3 Key Features The converter provides the following key features: Complies with IEEE802.3 10BASE-T standard Complies with IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX standard Supports Ethernet over VDSL Two RJ11 connectors for Ethernet over VDSL port, one for LAN connection and one for voice connection. Supports one 10Mbps symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port Based on different phone line quality, the distance could extend up to 1.

2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION This product series provide 2 RJ-11 ports for voice connection (like telephone) and for network line connection. This product series also provide 4 RJ-45 ports for two different running speed –10Mbps, 100Mbps, in the same converter and automatically distinguish the speed of incoming connection. This section describes the hardware features of these Converters. For easier control of the converter, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports.
LED indicators SYSTEM LED PWR Steady Green Off VDSL LED Link Steady Green Blink Green ACT Blinking Green Off Fast Ethernet LED 100M/10M Steady Green This indicator lights green when the converter is receiving power. Not receiving power If both ends of the VDSL devices are connected then the LED will blink for a while (in 10 seconds), this is the stage of speed auto-negotiation, after the negotiation process, the Link LED will stay green. The link process is fail.
Blinking A collision occurs when two stations within a Amber collision domain attempt to transmit data at the same time. Intermittent flashing amber of the collision LED is normal; the contending adapters resolve each collision by means of a wait-then-retransmit algorithm. Frequency of collisions is an indicator of heavy traffic on the network. Mode slide switch* (for EV-401M only) SYM ASYM* It provides 10M upstream and 10M downstream. It will extend up to 1.2km (4000ft) with AWG 26(0.4mm) telephone wire.
Power Notice: 1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime. 2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your converter from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the converter or the power adapter.
3. INSTALLING AND USING ETHERNET OVER VDSL CONVERTER 3.1 Install the Ethernet Over VDSL Converter The Converter does not require any software configuration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product simply by attached the cables and plug power on. There is some key limitation on the Ethernet over VDSL converter. Please check the following items: • The device is used for point-to-point connection only and allow data and voice work on the same telephone lines. • Two RJ-11 connectors for VDSL port.
Therefore, most of the traffic will be limited on the local phone line network instead of flooding to the Internet. Another application for the converter is used for LAN to LAN extension through the normal telephone line. 3.2 LAN to LAN connection Two sets of the converters could be used to link two local Area networks that are located in different areas. Through the normal telephone line, it could setup a 10Mbps symmetric backbone, but one converter must be Master and the other one is “Slave”. 3.
Water or moisture can not enter the unit Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted (company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25mm inch clearance) To prolong the operational life of your units: Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case 3.4 Installing Network Cables After placing the converter on the desktop, then we need to know how to connect the device to network. 3.

4. SWITCH OPERATION 4.1 MAC Address Table and Learning The converter built in with a MAC address table that is composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of network nodes on the network, including MAC address, port ID, etc. The information is the most important base to do packet filtering and forwarding. When one packet comes in from any port, the switch will learn the source address, port ID, and the other related information in address table.

5. TROUBLE SHOOTING SYMPTOM: VDSL link LED not lit after wire is connected to the VDSL port. CHECKPOINT: 1: Verify the length of the wire connected between EV-401M and EV-401S is not more than 1.5km. 2: Please note you must use 1 EV-401M and 1 EV-401S connect to each other to make it work. SYMPTOM: Switch Link/Act LED not lit after cable is connected to the port. CHECKPOINT: 1: Verify use the RJ-45 cable connected to the port.
