Class B Digital Device. This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B computing device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a partic ular i nstallation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. If this equipment does cause har mful interference t o radio or
telephone reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables and power cords are required to
connect this device to a personal computer or other Class B certified device.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise
emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation
of Industry Canada.

Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview: About the HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module
(Extended Temp)
HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended Temp) enables LAN and
Campus network managers, and service providers, to use an existing phonegrade wiring to support high bandwidth Ethernet connections. Industry
standard 2Base-TL provisions symmetric data delivery over the outside plant
defined by IEEE802.3ah. 10Pass-TS transport is designed to meet shortrange, high data rate requirements over standard copper wire defined by
IEEE802.3ah for inside a plant environment. They can achieve this by using
Ethernet over VDSL where the 100m distance limitation of twisted pair data
cabling is no longer a challenge.
Designed with VDSL2 (second generation Very high-bit-rate Digital
Subscriber Line) technology, the Black Box Ethernet-to-VDSL2 converter
allows the transmission of data over a single pair of sub-standard CAT3 and
other telephone cabling to achieve substantially longer distances. As a
media and protocol converter, the HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module
(Extended Temp) includes the ability to transfer data both symmetrically and
asymmetrically to meet the customer's needs. In either mode, the VDSL2
port automatically adjusts to an operating point that maximizes the FullDuplex bandwidth capability of the line for true plug-and-play operation.
Two HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended Temp) media
converters are configured as pairs for each link. One is configured as a Host
(Central Office (CO)) HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended
Temp) and is typically deployed at the CO close to network management
systems. The other is configured as a Remote (Customer Premise (CPE)
HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended Temp) and is deployed at
the CPE. Full SNMP remote line management is provided through a Black
Box managed chassis, providing remote notification of line fault conditions.
HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended Temp) includes:
• One VDSL port with an RJ-11 connector (VDSL)
• One 10/100BaseT Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector (DATA Port)

Chapter 3: Configuration
3. Configuration
HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended Temp) includes various
user-configurable features. These features are selectable by using DIP
Switches and software. The following sections describe the DIP Switches for
the Host CO and Remote CPE module configuration.
3.1 DIP Switch Settings
The DIP Switches allow the user to configure most of the module features
before installing the unit. These also enable the Host to Remot e
management channel used with SNMP management. Refer to the following
diagram and setting table for DIP Switch selection information.
