SNR 8dB OFF 1 ON 2 3 4 ON ¾¾ DIP switch ¾¾ DC jack (DC input) for power adapter DIP Switch The EoC Converter provides a selectable 4-position DIP switch. Switch them on or off to obtain the best coaxial cable connection over a distance. DIP-1 DIP DIP-3 DIP-4 Transmission Band Profile SNR Margin OFF CO G.
DIP-1: Mode (CO/CPE) CO (Central Office) The Master device mode, usually the CO device, is located at the data center of ISP or enterprise to link to the backbone. CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) The Slave device mode, usually the CPE device, is located at branch office, home or remote site as the long reach data receiver. The CPE can be connected to the PC, IP camera or wireless access point, or other network devices.
DIP-4: SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) Margin When the SNR margin is selected, the system provides 12dB/8dB SNR margin for all usable loop lengths. Better channel noise protection is made with the higher SNR margin. Note Please power off the VDSL2 Bridge before making any transmission mode adjustment. DC Power Jack The VC-232G requires 5V DC, 2A power input, which conforms to the bundled AC adapter. Should you have the issue of power connection, please contact your local sales representative. 2.

4. Applications The EoC Converter does not require any software configuration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on. There are some key limitations on the EoC Converter. Please check the following items 4.1 Point-to-Point Application -- LAN to LAN Connection One set of the EoC Converter could be used to link two local area networks that are located in different places.
3. Power on the VC-232G CO and CPE at both sides by connecting its power source. 4. Power, CO and CPE LED will illuminate correspondingly. 5. Connect coaxial cable from LAN1 VC-232G to VDSL BNC port of the LAN2 VC-232G. 6. VDSL LNK LED will blink to illuminate at both VDSL2 bridges. 7. Connect the VC-232G Ethernet LAN port to other network device via regular Cat.5 UTP cable. 4.2 VC-232G Point-to-Multi-point Application (IP surveillance) L2+ Switch NVR Media Converter Chassis VC-232G (CPE) Coax. Coax.
Building an IP surveillance system Refer to the following procedure to set up an IP surveillance system with many pairs of the VC-232G: 1. Set the VC-232G to be CO and CPE mode from the DIP switch on the rear panel. 2. Power on the VC-232G by connecting its power source. 3. Power LED will illuminate. 4. Connect coaxial cable to the VDSL ports of two VC-232G units. 5. VDSL LED will blink to illuminate. 6. Connect Ethernet port to IP cameras via regular Cat. 5, 5e or 6 cable. 7.
5. Installations 5.1 Wall-mount Installation Step 1: Please find the wall that can mount the VC-232G Step 2: Screw two screws on the wall. Step 3: Hang the VC-232G on the screws from the wall. Step 4: Repeat Step 5 of Desktop Installation for power supply to the VC-232G Note Before mounting the device to the wall, please check the location of the electrical outlet and the length of the Ethernet cable.
5.2 Chassis Installation and Rack Mounting To install the EoC Converter in a 10-inch or 19-inch Converter Chassis with standard rack, follow the instructions described below. Step 1: Place your VC-232G on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front side. Step 2: Carefully slide in the module until it is fully and firmly fitted into the slot of the converter chassis.

7. Troubleshooting SYMPTOM: VDSL LNK LED does not light up after wire is connected to the VDSL port. CHECKPOINT: 1. Verify the length of the coaxial cable (not more than 1.4km) connected between the two VC-232G units. Please also try to adjust the DIP switch of the VC-232G to the other SNR mode. 2. Please note you must use one VC-232G in CO mode and the other VC-232G in CPE mode to make connection to each other work. SYMPTOM: TP LED does not light after cable is connected to the port.
8. 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-effectively upgrade the existing xDSL-infrastructure.
