Note In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your VC-231GP from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the VC-231GP or the power adapter. ¾¾ DIP Switch The VC-231GP provides 4 selective transmission modes. By switching the transmission modes, you can obtain a best transmission mode to suit with phone line quality or distance of connectivity. The following is the summary table of transmission setting, bandwidth and distance extensibility tested for AWG 24 (0.
Note When the VC-231GP in CPE mode, DIP switches 2, 3, and 4 are without function. ¾¾ DIP-2: Transmission (G. INP and Interleave mode) G. INP Method of protection against bursts from other devices or lines to impact your xDSL line. Interleave Method of error correction used on xDSL line. Interleave requires additional latency to improve resilience to burst of error. ¾¾ DIP-3: Band Profile (Asymmetric/Symmetric) Asymmetric Asymmetric mode provides more bandwidth than the other side.
Note Please power off the VC-231GP before making any transmission mode adjustment. 3.3 Power Information The central posts of the VC-231GP’s power jacks measure 2.5mm wide that require +54VDC power input. They conform to the bundled AC-DC adapter. Should you have the issue of power connection, please contact your local sales representative. 2.1mm Width of DC Receptacle: 2.1mm +54V for DC jack DC receptacle is 2.1mm wide that matches the central post, measuring 2.1mm wide, of the VC-231GP’s DC jack.
4. Connecting And Using The VDSL2 Bridge The VC-231GP does not require any software configuration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product simply by putting the plug in the receptacle and turning it on. There is some key limitation on the VC-231GP.
4.1 Point-to-Point Application - LAN to LAN Connection Two sets of the VC-231G/VC-231GP could be used to link two local Area networks that are located in a different place. Through the normal telephone line, it could be set up a 150/150Mbps (G.INP, Sym, 8dB) symmetric backbone, but one VDSL2 Bridge must be Master (CO mode) and the other one is Slave (CPE mode).
Refer to the following procedure to set up the VC-231G/ VC-231GP LAN to LAN connection. 1. [LAN1] Set the VC-231G at LAN 1 to CO mode from the DIP switch. 2. [LAN2] Set the VC-231GP at LAN 2 to CPE mode from the DIP switch. 3. Power on the VC-231G CO and VC-231GP CPE at both sides by connecting its power source. 4. Power LED will illuminate. 5. Connect VDSL line from another VDSL device to RJ11 VDSL port of the VC-231G/VC-231GP. 6. VDSL LNK LED will blink to illuminate at the VC-231G/ VC-231GP. 7.
4.2 Point-to-Multipoint Application - Connect to IP DSLAM To build a local Internet in apartments, hotels and campuses and hospitality environments, it requires: The multi-port VDSL2 IP DSLAM or VDSL2 switch (for example, PLANET VDL-2420M and VC-820M) operates as a CO Master and needs to be placed in the wiring center (MDF room) and connects to the telephone line system.
Refer to the following procedure to set up the VC-231GP to IP DSLAM connection. 1. [Remote End] Set the remote IP DSLAM/VDSL2 switch to CO mode with proper VDSL2 profile. 2. [Local End] Set the VC-231GP at the local end to CPE mode from the DIP switch. 3. Power on the VC-231GP CPEs by connecting its power source. 4. Power LED will illuminate. 5. Connect VDSL line from IP DSLAM/VDSL2 switch to RJ11 VDSL port of the VC-231GP. 6. VDSL LNK LED will blink to illuminate. 7.

6. Troubleshooting SYMPTOM: VDSL LNK LED does not light up after wire is connected to the VDSL port. CHECKPOINT: 1. Verify the length of the wire (not more than 1.4km) connected between the VC-231G and the VC-231GP. Please also try to adjust the DIP switch or the VC-231G to the other SNR mode. 2. Please note you must use one VC-231G in CO mode and the other VC-231GP in CPE mode to make connection to each other work. SYMPTOM: TP LED does not light after cable is connected to the port.
7. FAQs Q1: What is VDSL2? A1: VDSL2 (Very High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line 2), G.993.2, is the newest and most advanced standard of xDSL broadband wire line communications. Designed to support the wide deployment of Triple Play services such as voice, data, high definition television (HDTV) and interactive gaming, VDSL2 enables operators and carrier to gradually, flexibly, and cost efficiently upgrade the existing xDSL-infrastructure.
