Chapter 1: About the VDSL Switch-VS2512A

Overview

Accton’s Ethernet-over-VDSL system consists of end-user CPEs (Customer Premise Equipment) connected to a VDSL switch and splitter by standard telephone cable. The VDSL connection delivers an Ethernet data link rated up to 15 Mbps symmetric (full duplex), while simultaneously supporting standard telephone services. The system can be deployed in any multi-dwelling/multi-tenant environment (apartment blocks, hotels, or office complex) to provide both highspeed Internet access and telephone services without any need for re-wiring.

Accton’s VDSL Switch-VS2512A and VDSL-Splitter-VM2524/VM2548 combine both the data and phone signals coming from your Internet and telephone service providers, and pass these signals directly over standard telephone wiring to multiple users in the same building. A CPE is then used to separate these signals and pass them on to a customer’s computer and telephone equipment. In-building connections can operate up to 15 Mbps for runs up to 1070 m (3500 ft), 10 Mbps for runs up to 1220 m (4000 ft), 5 Mbps for runs up to 1525 m (5000 ft).

Note: Category 3 cable must be installed to achieve the maximum distance, but the

distance may be limited by factors such as how the cable is bundled, and the interference and noise on the link.

The VDSL switch and splitter are typically located in a wiring closet or other central location of a multi-dwelling/multi-tenant unit, campus or enterprise. An Internet connection is provided from the ISP to the customer’s building over fiber optic cable, running Ethernet directly over a 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps connection. This kind of WAN connection is referred to as Fiber To The Building (FTTB). Phone signals are routed from PBX/MDF distribution equipment into the splitter. The data and phone signals for each user are combined in the splitter, and passed over VDSL lines to individual customers.

The CPE at the other end of the VDSL line connects to any PC or Macintosh equipped with a 10/100BASE-TX network interface card. Your existing telephone, modem, or fax machine simply plugs into the CPE’s phone port. There is no need for special splitters, terminators or filters. In fact, there is no need to modify the home wiring at all. And, because the VDSL connection is based on Ethernet, no further complex software configuration is required.

VDSL Technology

VDSL (Very High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line) is at the high-end of all the DSL technologies, offering the best combination of fiber optics and copper to provide high-speed broadband Internet access. VDSL’s primary application is in providing a broadband data service to multi-tenant residential or commercial buildings. In this implementation, fiber optic cable carries data from an Internet Service Provider to the building; then the installed telephone copper wires take the data and deliver it to individual units within that building.

Figure 1-1. VDSL Application

VDSL provides high-speed Internet access over existing phone lines by making use of previously unused frequency bandwidth above the voice band. By placing VDSL signals above the frequency of the voice signal, a VDSL service can coexist on the same line as other telephone services. VDSL can operate the same data rate in both directions, or

asymmetrically, providing

symmetrically, providing

a higher data rate

in the downstream (receive) direction than in the upstream (transmit) direction.

VDSL can deliver high-performance online applications, such as high-quality video and other switched multimedia services. Accton's Ethernet-over-VDSL system provides robust performance, with a symmetric data rate up to 15 Mbps, and a range up to 1525 m (5000 ft). Accton’s system is based on advanced VDSL QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) technology with adaptive channel equalization that overcomes bridge taps and other line distortions. Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction and interleaving protects against errors due to impulse noise and enables recovery from signal interruptions. Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) separates downstream and upstream channels and allows VDSL signals to coexist with regular telephone services. A power back-off mechanism is also implemented to reduce noise from crosstalk in line bundles.

Overview

Switch Architecture

The VDSL Switch-VS2512A employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

Management Options

This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a built-in network management agent that allows the switch to be managed in-band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and

9) protocols, with a Web browser, or remotely via Telnet. The switch also provides an RS-232 serial port (DB-9 connector) on the front panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port null-modem cable. (See Appendix B for wiring options.)

This switch provides a wide range of advanced performance-enhancing features. Port-based and tagged VLANs, plus support for automatic GVRP VLAN registration provides traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. QoS priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time multimedia data across the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm control prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. Some of this switch’s advanced features are described below. For a detailed description, refer to the Management Guide.

VLANs

The VDSL Switch-VS2512A supports up to 255 VLANs. A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network. By segmenting your network into VLANs, you can:

• Eliminate broadcast storms which severely degrade performance in a flat network.

for configuration and monitoring out-of-band via a

• Simplify network management for node changes/moves by remotely configuring VLAN membership for any port, rather than having to manually change the node’s IP address.

Multicast Switching

Specific multicast traffic can be assigned to its own VLAN to ensure that it does not interfere with normal network traffic and to guarantee real-time delivery by setting the required priority level for the designated VLAN. The switch uses IGMP Snooping to manage multicast group registration.

1-3

About the VDSL Switch-VS2512A

Traffic Priority

This switch provides Quality of Service (QoS) by prioritizing each packet based on the required level of service, using four distinct categories with Weighted Round Robin Queuing. It uses IEEE 802.1p and 802.1Q tags to prioritize incoming traffic based on input from the end-station application. These functions can be used to provide independent priorities for delay-sensitive data and best-effort data.

Description of Hardware

VDSL Switch-VS2512A

Accton’s VDSL Switch-VS2512A together with the VDSL Splitter-VM2524/VM2548 combines data and voice signals for delivery over standard telephone cable to multiple users in residential or commercial buildings. Ethernet data signals are received on the switch uplink port and passed to 12 VDSL lines via 12 internal Ethernet ports. These 12 VDSL lines are then passed to the splitter via the RJ-21 connector on the rear panel.

The switch supports the following optional modules: 1-port 1000BASE-T, 1-port 1000BASE-SX, 1-port 1000BASE-LX, 1-port 1000BASE-X GBIC, 4-port 100BASE-FX multimode and single-mode, 1-port 100BASE-FX mutimode, 1-port 10/100BASE-TX, or 4-port 10/100Base-TX. The fiber module ports can provide direct connection to your ISP with fiber optic cable. In a switch stack, any of the module ports can also function as uplinks to the backbone, or as regular switch ports for networking.

Speed, duplex mode, and flow control for the optional module, and GBIC transceiver ports are shown below.

Note: If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation, you will have to manually

configure the other device to match the duplex mode and speed, otherwise it will default to half duplex.

auto

The switch also includes a DB-9 console port on the front panel for switch configuration. It also has two FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports that can be used to stack up to 8 units for common management access. When multiple units are stacked together, you can manage the entire stack by connecting to the console port on the Master unit in the stack. The push button on the front panel is used to select the Master unit in the stack.

Note: Only one unit in the stack can act as Master.
