Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
This device can serve as a key component in any Ethernet-over-VDSL2 data transport
system that consists of an end-user Gateway and a VDSL2 switch connected by
standard telephone cable. The VDSL connection delivers an Ethernet data link rated
up to both 100 Mbps downstream and 100 Mbps ups tream (VDSL2 profile 30A), while
simultaneously supporting standard telephone services. The system can be deployed
in any multi-dwelling/multi-tenant environment (apartment blocks, hotels, or office
complexes) to provide both high-speed Internet ac cess and telephone services without
any need for re-wiring. It also provides a built-in 802.11b/g access point for wireless
connectivity.
VDSL switches 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. The Gateway is used to
separate these signals and pass them on to a customer’s computer and telephone
equipment.
The VDSL2 switch is typically located in a wiring closet or other cent ral 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 1 to 10 Gbps connection. This kind of WAN connection is
referred to as Fiber To The Building (FTTB). Data signals entering a site are first
passed through an Ethernet switch that segregates the signals for individual user
connections, and are then fed into the switch. Phone signals are also routed from PBX/
MDF distribution equipment into the switch. The data and phone signals for each user
are combined in the switch, and passed over VDSL lines to individual customers.
The Gateway at the customer end of the VDSL line connects to any PC equipped with
a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network interface card. Your existing telephone, mo dem,
or fax machine simply plugs into the Gateway’s phone port. There is no need for
splitters, terminators, or filters. In fact, there is no need to modify your home wiring at
all. And because the VDSL connection is based on Ethernet, no complex software
configuration is required.
The Gateway provides access to a wide range of advanced transport features,
including support for real-time video, and other multimedia servic es requiring
guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). It also provides multiprotocol encapsulation for
bridging Windows NetBEUI and Novell’s IPX protocols directly to a remote site for
complete access to corporate resources, or for routing TCP/IP traffic for Internet
connections.

VDSL Technology
VDSL (Very High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line) is at the high-en d 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 the data from a telephone company’s central
office to the building; then the installed telephone copper wires take the data and
deliver it to individual units within that building.
Figure 1-1 Providing Broadband Internet Access through VDSL
VDSL provides high-speed Internet access over existing phone lin es by makin g use of
previously unused frequency bandwidth abov e the voice band (i.e., up to 30 MHz with
VDSL2). By placing VDSL signals above the frequency of the voice signal, a VDSL
service can coexist on the same line wit h o ther te lep hone servic es. VDSL c an o perat e
symmetrically, providing the same data rate in both directions, or asymmetrically,
providing a higher data rate in the downstr eam (receive) di rection than in the u pstream
(transmit) direction.
VDSL delivers high-performance online applications, such as high-quality video and
other switched multimedia services. This Ethernet VDSL2 Gateway provides robust
performance, with a data rate up to 100 Mbps downstream and 100 Mbps upstream,
and a range up to 200 meters (656 ft).
This system is based on advanced VDSL2 Multi-Carrier Modulation (MCM) technology
with adaptive channel equalization that overcomes bridge taps and other line
14
Features and Benefits
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 telephon e se rv ice s. A p ower bac k-off mechanism
is also implemented to reduce noise from crosstalk in line bundles.
Features and Benefits
VDSL features (Gateway side) include:
• High-speed Internet access over existing phone lines
• VDSL2 connection provides the following rate/rang e options (profile 30A):

Cable Connections
Depending on the wiring configuration used in your house, sep arate wa ll jacks may be
used for telephone and VDSL services. Otherwise, you will need to connect
telephones and your computer directly to the Gateway.
Figure 2-1 Connecting the Gateway
1. Using standard telephone cable, connect the Gateway’s RJ-11 VDSL port to the
RJ-11 telephone wall jack providing the VDSL service.
2. Connect a telephone or fax machine to the RJ-11 port on the Gateway labeled
PHONE.
3. For Ethernet connections, make sure you have installed a 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX network adapter card in the computers to be connected to the LAN.
4. Prepare straight-through shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
plugs at both ends. Use 100-Ohm Category 3, 4, or 5 cable for a 10 Mbp s Etherne t
connection, or Category 5 cable for a 100 Mbps connection.
5. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of the network interface card, and
the other end to any of the RJ-45 LAN ports on the Gateway.
When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to
ensure that it is properly seated.
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only
twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.
Notes: 1. When connecting to any network device (such as a PC, hub or switch), you can
26
use either straight-through or crossover cabling. (Refer to Appendix B: “Cables”
on page 113 for a description of cable types.)
2. Make sure the twisted-pair cable connected to any of the Gateway’s LAN ports
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
