Ethernet over VDSL2 Bridge Description
UTC's state-of-the-art Ethernet-over-VDSL2 products are based on two
core networking technologies: Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). This technology offers the absolute fastest
possible data transmission speeds over existing copper telephone lines or
coaxial cables without the need for rewiring.
The MCR200-1T-1TW Ethernet Over VDSL2 Converter has a switching
architecture with RJ-45 10/100Mbps Ethernet port and one asymmetric or
symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (Asymmetric means upstream and
downstream rate are not the same and Symmetric means upstream and
downstream rate are similar) – the VDSL port can be RJ-11 connector
MCR200-1T-1TW. The MCR200-1T-1TW can be set to Central Office (CO)
or Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) mode via a DIP switch. When
MCR200-1T-1TW is connected with other MCR200-1T-1TW devices, the
performance will up to 100/55Mbps for asymmetric data rate within 200m
and up to 25/4Mbps for asymmetric data rate at 1.6km.
2 IFS MCR200-1T-1TW User Guide
The UTC VDSL2 Converter provides a much cheaper replacement and
smooth migration for existing Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) networks.
The cable specifications of the connection are listed as following:
■ 10Base-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP
■ 100Base-TX, Category 5, 5e or 6 UTP
■ Ethernet over VDSL2, Twisted-pair telephone wires
The two drawings pictures are typical applications diagrams for the
Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter.
Slave device (CPE) must connect to Master device
(CO) through the telephone wire or coaxial cable. It
is not allow connecting like Master to Master or
Slave to Slave. To define the MCR200-1T-1TW to
CO or CPE, please refer to “
MODE DIP Switch” on
page 9 for more detail.

Fast mode guarantees a minimum end to end latency less than 1 ms.
Interleaved mode provides impulse noises protection with a duration
less than 250 us. Interleaved mode has a maximum end to end latency
of 10m sec.
Band Plan
User can switch the Band Plan either Symmetric or Asymmetric by their
own. When Symmetric is selected that provides better upstream
performance, when Asymmetric is selected that provides better
downstream performance. Refer to table above for details.

DC Power Jack
MCR200-1T-1TW requires 5V DC power input. It will conform to the
bundled AC adapter. If you have the issue to make the power connection,
please contact your local sales representative.
1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not
work till it is powered. If your networks should active all the
time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power
Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data
loss or network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also
help to protect your Ethernet Over VDSL2 Converter from
being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the
Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter or the power adapter.

Installation
Install Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter
The Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter does not require any software
configuration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product simply
by attached the cables and plug power on. There is some key limitation on
the Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter. Please check the following items:
MCR200-1T-1TW: The device is used for Point-to-Point connection only
(Master device to Slave device) and has equipped with 2 RJ-11 connectors
for VDSL port. One for voice device connection (like telephone) and the other
one for network link connection.
Depending on the quality of telephone line, the maximum distance of one
VDSL segment is 1.6km (6561ft) with AWG 24 telephone wires.
* The MC251-4P/1CXT and MC250-4T/1CXT can utilize standard
telephone (POTS) type cable for transmission of Ethernet/IP data. It is
not designed for transmitting Ethernet data on a PBX system or
public switch telephone network (PSTN).
MCR200-1T-1TW LAN to LAN connection
Two sets of the Ethernet over VDSL2 Converters could be used to link two
local Area networks that are located in different place. Through the normal
telephone line, it could setup a 100/55Mbps asymmetric backbone, but one
Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter must be Master (CO mode) and the other
one is Slave (CPE mode).

Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM: VDSL LNK LED does not light after wire is connected to the
VDSL port.
CHECKPOINT:
1. Verify the length of the wire connected between two MCR200-1T-1TW is not
more than 2.0km. Please also try to adjust the DIP switch of MCR200-1T1TW to other SNR mode.
2. Please note you must use one MCR200-1T-1TW with CO mode and the other
MCR200-1T-1TW with CPE mode, connect to each other to make it work.
SYMPTOM: TP LED does not light after cable is connected to the port.
CHECKPOINT:
1. Verify you are using the Cat.5, 5e or 6 cables with RJ-45 connector to
connect to the port.
2. If your device (like LAN card) supports to Auto-Negotiation, please try to
modify at a fixed speed of your device by manually.
3. Check the converter and the connected device’s power are ON or OFF.
4. Check the port’s cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in
the associated device.
5. Check the connecting cable is good.
Check the power adapters are functional, including the connecting device.

FAQ
Q1: What voltage that MCR200-1T-1TW used?
A1: 5V DC, 2A
Q2: What is VDSL2?
A2: 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 enable operators and carrier to gradually ,
flexibly, and cost efficiently upgrade exiting xDSL-infrastructure.
Q3: What is the best distance for MCR200-1T-1TW?
A3: In order to guarantee the stability and better quality of network, so we
would suggest the distance within 1.6 kilometer is the best for MCR200-1T1TW
Q4: What is the best date rate for MCR200-1T-1TW?
A4: We provide the data rate of the MCR200-1T-1TW is up to
100Mbps/55Mbps.
Q5: Is the MCR200-1T-1CX compatible with the MCR200-1T-1TW?
A5: Currently NO. Although the MCR200-1T-1CX (profile 12a) and the
MCR200-1T-1TW (profile 17a) are base on ITU-T G.993.2 VDSL2, but with
different Profiles, so far they are not compatible with each other.
Q6: What is SNR and what’s the effect?
A7: In analog and digital communications, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, often
written SNR, is a measure of signal strength relative to background noise.
The ratio is usually measured in decibels (dB).
In digital communications, the SNR will probably cause a reduction in data
speed because of frequent errors that require the source (transmitting)
computer or terminal to resend some packets of data. SNR measures the
quality of a transmission channel over a network channel. The greater the
ratio, the easier it is to identify and subsequently isolate and eliminate the
source of noise.
Generally speaking, the higher SNR value gets better line quality, but lower
performance.
18 IFS MCR200-1T-1TW User Guide
Q7: What is band plan and what’s the effect?
A8: VDSL2 defines multiple band plans and configuration modes (profiles)
to allow asymmetric and symmetric services in the same binder (by
designated frequency bands) for the transmission of upstream and
downstream signals. User has the ability to select fixed band plan. When
Symmetric is selected that provides better downstream performance, wh en
Asymmetric is selected that provides better upstream performance.
