Model 3324 overview
The Patton Model 3324 VDSL (see figure 1) networking solution delivers cost-effective, high-performance
broadband access to multi-unit buildings (hotels, apartments, and multi-tenant unit office buildings) and
enterprise campus environments such as factories, educational campuses, and medical facilities. VDSL technology dramatically extends Ethernet over existing Category 1, 2, or 3 wiring at speeds from 5, 10, or 15 Mbps
(full duplex) and distances up to 4,921, 3,937, or 3,281 feet (1,500, 1,200, or 1,000 meters). The Model 2234
delivers broadband service on the same infrastructure as plain old telephone service (POTS), digital telephone
service, and ISDN service. In addition, VDSL supports modes compatible with symmetric digital subscriber
line, allowing service providers to provision VDSL to buildings where broadband services may already exist.
The VDSL solution includes Patton Model 3324 (VDSL Access Concentrator), and Model 1058/CP (VDSL
Customer Premise Modem).
The VDSL solution delivers everything needed to quickly deploy an Ethernet-based network with the performance required to deliver high-speed Internet access at much greater distances and drive services like IP telephony and audio/video streaming. With this technology, a broad range of customers can benefit from lower
operating Costs and rapid deployment. The VDSL solution provides multicast, Layer 2 quality of service
(QoS), Link Aggregation (LACP) dynamic trunking groups, security, GVRP, IGMP for VOD (Video on
demand) and SNMP RMON management and Web-based Switch network management.
The Patton Model 3324 is a bridge between external Internet backbone through a router for IP sharing and the
building 110D telephone rack or telephone box. It utilizes the available telephone wire to enable high-speed
Internet access to building’s residents. The Patton Model 3324 uses the phone line networking technology
endorsed by the VDSL (Very High Data Rate DSL), and the 3324 utilizes already existing telephone wire to
deliver 5/10/15 Mbps Internet access on each RJ-21 port. This gives users a low-cost, end-to-end solution that
eliminates the need to train installation teams on multiple systems.

Cable installation
This section describes installing the power, ground, and network interface cables.
Installing the power cables—AC power supply
This section describes installing the power cables into the IEC-320 connectors on the DACS. Do not connect
the male end of the power cables to the power outlet at this time. Do the following:
1. Install a power cable into an IEC-320 connector (see figure 3 on page 16). The AC main socket outlet
shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Connecting the Ethernet uplink ports
The Model 3324 has two auto-negotiating 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet interfaces that support full or halfduplex operation. The devices attached to these ports also must support auto-negotiation unless they always
operate at half-duplex. Both ports feature auto MDI-X.
Note Make sure the Ethernet CAT-5 cable is not longer than 328 feet
(100 meters).
Ethernet uplink port #25 is used to connect to devices such as servers, routers, or switches. Port #25 is your primary
uplink (your connection to the service provider). Port #26 is used for cascading up to four Model 3324s together.
Port #25 and port #26 will auto-sense the correct speed of the local LAN and automatically negotiate half- or fullduplex operation.

Cascading configuration
When cascading more than two Model 3324s (see figure 4), the default settings are set to full duplex, and 1000
Mbps via the daisy-chain port. The maximum number of Model 3324s that can be cascaded is four units. If
more than four units must be cascaded, an Ethernet switch will be required (see configuration example shown
in figure 5 on page 23).

Optional GBIC Ethernet uplink slot
The Model 3324 supports the use of one GBIC interface auto-link function. Normal Ethernet uplink port status default is copper (RJ-45), but you can use the hot-swap capability—modules can be exchanged without
turning off power—of the Model 3324 to quickly change the uplink media to fiber.
GBIC fiber optics
A gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a transceiver that converts electric currents (digital highs and lows) to optical signals, and optical signals to digital electric currents. The GBIC is typically employed in fiber optic and Ethernet systems as an interface for high-speed networking. The data transfer rate is 1.25 gigabits per second (Gbps).
GBIC modules enable technicians to easily configure and upgrade electro-optical communications networks.
The typical GBIC transceiver is a plug-in module that supports hot-plugging. The devices are economical,
because they eliminate the necessity for replacing entire boards at the system level. Upgrading can be done with
any number of units at a time, from an individual module to all the modules in a system. GBIC is compliant
with the Gigabit Interface Converter Specification, Rev. 5.4 (MOD_DEF4) industry standard.
Mode Wavelength Bit Rate Voltage Power Margin
1 LX-Single Mode 1310 nm 1.25 Gbps 5V 10.5 dB (6 miles/10 km)
2 SX-Multi Mode 850 nm 1.25 Gbps 5V 8.5 dB (1800 feet/550 m)

Connecting the POTS/ISDN Ports
The remote (customer premise) VDSL modems will receive there POTS/ISDN connections from the Model
3324 via the VDSL twisted pair. The POTS/ISDN services from a PBX are connected into the 3324 via a RJ21X cable. Consult Appendix B, “Cabling” on page 77 in order to connect the properly match up the
POTS/ISDN (VOICE) and VDSL Data to the selected VDSL modem port on the Model 3324 and CPE.
1. Connect the RJ-21X connector from a punch down block or directly from the PBX into the 50-pin RJ-
21X receptacle on the front of the 3324 labeled POTS/ISDN.
2. Only 24 of the twisted pairs will be used since there are 24 VDSL modem connections, each being a 2-
wire connection. When inserting the RJ-21 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure
that is properly fastened to the Model 3324.
Connecting the VDSL Ports
The remote (Customer Premise) VDSL modems are connected to the 3324 via the RJ-21X cable. Consult
Appendix B, “Cabling” on page 77 in order to connect the CP VDSL modems to the selected VDSL modem
port on the 3324.
Note The 2-wire VDSL modem lines are polarity insensitive so you only
need to match the correct twisted pairs without being concerned
about matching the individual wires of the twisted pair. Wire must be
18–26 AWG (28 gauge or above is not recommended).
1. Connect the RJ-21X connector of the cable into the 50-pin RJ-21X receptacle on the front of the 3324
labeled VLINK.
2. The other end of the cable has 25 non-terminated twisted-pairs for connection to punch-down blocks.
Select the twisted-pairs which will be used for active VDSL modem connections and terminate on the

Port Control Settings
This section shows you how to change the various ports of the Model 3324.
State
The administrator can disable or enable any port.
• Enable (ON)
• Disable (OFF)
Negotiation
The administrator can set the auto negotiation mode for the CPE devices through the 3324. The three choices
are:
• Auto
• Nway (TM) (specify the speed/duplex on this port and enable auto-negotiation)
• Force of Per Port
Speed
User can set 5Mbps/10Mbps/15Mbps/LWD for ports 1~24. For ports 25 and 26 the options available are
10/100/1000Mbps.
10/100Mbps speed on Port25~Port26 (based on copper uplink). If a GBIC 1000Base-FX is used then then
the uplink port will be forced to1000Mbps.
The following distance are achievable between the 3324 and VDSL CPE when using standard 24 Gauge
(0.5mm) cable:
• 5 Mbps -> 4,920 feet (1.5km)
• 10 Mbps -> 3,940 feet (1.2km)
• 15 Mbps -> 3,280 feet (1.0km)
• Link Watch Dog (LWD) -> 6,070 feet (1.8~1.9km)
Link Watch Dog(LWD) function: The LWD enables the 3324 to reconnect to the CPE modem with known
and predefined VDSL link values. This is necessary whenever loading normal VDSL link parameters fails.
Procedure for Changing VDSL Ports Speed Settings:
1. Confirm the VDSL port currently has a link before you change the speed.
2. Select the port you want to configure. (Ports 1-24 are the VDSL ports)
3. Select the line rate (speed) you would like the port to run at
4. Click “Apply” to confirm the settings
42 Administrator
Model 3324 User Guide 3 • Configuring the 3324 for operation
Note The VDSL port will link down. After 20 seconds, the VDSL port will
link up again with the line rate (speed) you have configured.
Rate Control
Port 1-24 on the Model 3324 supports port-by-port ingress and egress rate control. For example, assume Port
1 is 10Mbps, users can set it’s effective egress rate is 1Mbps, ingress rate is 500 kbps. The Model 3324 will be
performing flow control or back-pressure to confine the ingress rate to meet the specified rate.
• Ingress: Type the port effective ingress rate. The valid range is 0–100. (Default is 100K) Entering 0 disables
rate control. (100 = 10 Mbps)
• Egress: Type the port effective egress rate. The valid range is 0–100. (Default is 100K) Entering 0 disables
rate control. (100 = 10 Mbps)
Port Security
When a port is in security mode the port will be “locked” without the permission of address learning. Only the
incoming packets with MAC addresses already existing in the address table can be forwarded normally. Users
can disable the port from learning any new MAC addresses, and then use the static MAC addresses screen to
define a list of MAC addresses that can be use on the secure port. Enter the settings, then click the Apply button to make the changes to the Model 3324.

Flow Control
• Full: User can set flow control function is enable or disable in full mode.
• Half: User can set backpressure is enable or disable in half mode.
Trunking
The link aggregation control protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information
between Partner Systems on a link. Link aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports into a single
dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation
requires full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE802.3ad.
System Priority
This is the value used to identify the active LACP. The 3324/Switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP. There are six steps to activate LACP.

State Activity
• Active (select): The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
• Passive (no select): The port does not automatically sends LACP protocol packets, and responds only if it
receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device.
A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform dynamic LACP trunking. If a link
has two passive LACP ports, dynamic LACP trunking will not be performed because both ports are waiting for
and LACP protocol packet from the opposite device. If you are active LACP’s actor, when you are select
trunking port, the active status will be created automatically.
Filter Database
IGMP Snooping
The Model 3324 supports IP multicast. IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that
support IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol). Enabling IGMP allows the ports to detect IGMP
queries and report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch. IGMP can be enabled through
the web management’s switch settings advanced page. From the Switch Settings Advanced page, choose IGMP
snooping. This page will allow you to view the different multicast groups ,VID and member ports. IP multicast addresses range from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255.
46 Administrator
Model 3324 User Guide 3 • Configuring the 3324 for operation
IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows
the ports to detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch.
IGMP have three fundamental types of message as follows:
Message Description
Query A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking for a response
from each host belonging to the multicast group.
Report A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host wants to be or is a
member of a given group indicated in the report message.
Leave Group A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host has quit to be a m
ember of a specific multicast group.
Static MAC Address
When you add a static MAC address, it will remain in the switch's address table, regardless of whether the
device is physically connected to the switch or not. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's
MAC address in cases where a device may have been powered off or disconnected from the network.
1. From the main menu, click administrator _ Filter Database _ Static MAC Address.
Administrator 47

VLAN Configurations
The Model 3324 supports both port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN, through the web management
page.
48 Administrator
Model 3324 User Guide 3 • Configuring the 3324 for operation
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to isolate
network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating
a VLAN is logically equivalent to reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch, even
though the network devices have the same physical connection.
The default configuration for VLAN support is disable.
Note If you change the VLAN Operation Modem from disabled to
enabled, you must wait 50 seconds. Every time you reboot the Patton Model 3324 you will have to change the VLAN mode to a valid
value.
Support Port-based VLAN
Packets can only be transmitted and received among members of the same VLAN group. All unselected ports
are treated as though they belong to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN is enabled, the VLAN-tagging is ignored.

Note If the trunk group exists, you can see it (ex. TRK1,TRK2…..) in
select menu of ports, and you can configure it is the member of the
VLAN or not.
Tagged-based VLAN
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Because this is a standard, it is possible to create a VLAN across devices from various switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag”
into the Ethernet frames. This “tag” contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.
In order to for a station to send packets to different VLANs, it itself has to be either capable of tagging packets
it sends with VLAN tags, or it must be attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is capable of classifying and tagging the packets with different VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other information about
the packet, such as the protocol.
Figure 21. Support Tag-based VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)
From the VLAN Configuration page, the administrator can create a Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable
GVRP (Generic Attribute Registrations Protocol). You can configure up to 256 VLAN groups. Once 802.1Q

VLAN is enabled, all ports on the Model 3324 will belong to the default VLAN (VID 1). The default VLAN
cannot be deleted.
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the Model 3324 is connected
to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request using the VID of a VLAN defined on the Patton Model 3324, the Model 3324 will then automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.
To create a VLAN and add tagged member ports to it follow the steps below.

4. Set the port VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged traffic on a given port. This feature is useful for
accommodating devices that you want to participate in the VLAN but that don’t support tagging. Each
port of the Model 3324 allows the user to set one PVID, the range is 1~255 and the default PVID is 1.
The PVID must as same as the VLAN ID that the port belong to VLAN group, or the untagged traffic will
be dropped.
Ingress Filtering
Ingress filtering allows frames belonging to a specific VLAN to be forwarded if the port belongs to that VLAN.
The Model 3324 has two ingress filtering rules:
• Ingress Filtering Rule 1: Forward only packets with VID matching this port's configured VID.
• Ingress Filtering Rule 2: Drop Untagged Frame.
Spanning Tree Protocol Settings
Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D ) for avoiding loops in switched networks. When STP is enabled, it ensures that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the
network. You can enable Spanning-Tree Protocol through the web management’s Switch Setting Advanced

Diagnosing VDSL indicators
The Model 3324 is easily monitored through its comprehensive panel indicators. These indicators assist the
network manager in identifying problems the Model 3324 may encounter. This section describes the common
problems you may encounter and possible solutions.
Symptom Cause Solution
POWER indicator does not light
up (green) after power on.
Link indicator does not light up
(green) after making a connection
Defective power outlet, power
cord, internal power supply
Network interface (e.q., a network adapter card on the
attached device), network
cable, or switch port is defective
Check the power outlet by trying another
outlet that is functioning properly. Check
the power cord with another device. If
these measures fail to resolve the problem, have the unit power supply
replaced by a qualified distributor.
1. Verify the switch and attached device
are powered on.
2. Be sure the cable is plug into both
the switch and corresponding
device.
3. Verify that the proper cable type is
used and its length does not exceed
specified limits.
4. Check the adapter on the attached
device and cable connections for
possible defects.
5. Replace the defective adapter or
cable if necessary.
I had a VDSL link. But, after dis-
connecting the line for several
minute, there is no link any
more.
This is normal behavior for the modem.
The LWD (Link Watch Dog) is automatically activated in the VDSL modem,
when ever is no link after a specified
time. Users just re-plug the power of
VDSL modem, and then they can link
again and solve this problem.
System Diagnostics
Power and Cooling Problems
If the POWER indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with
the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply as explained in the previous section. However, if the
unit should turn itself off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges
at the power outlet, and verify that the fan on back of the unit is unobstructed and running prior to shutdown.
If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the internal power supply may be defective. In this case, contact
your supplier for assistance.
66 Diagnosing VDSL indicators
Model 3324 VDSL Carrier-Class Aggregator Configuration Guide 5 • Troubleshooting
Installation
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (e.g., the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment, where you are
sure that all the other components are functioning properly.
Transmission Mode
The default transmission mode of the RJ-45 ports is auto-negotiation. Therefore, if the Link signal is disrupted
(e.g., by unplugging the network cable and plugging it back in again, or by resetting the power), the port will
try to reestablish communications with the attached device Model 3324 through auto-negotiation. If autonegotiation fails, then communications are set to half duplex by default. Based on this type of industry-standard connection policy, if you are using a full-duplex device that does not support auto-negotiation, communications can easily be lost (i.e., reset to the wrong mode) whenever the attached device is reset or experiences a
power fluctuations. The best way to resolve this problem is to upgrade these devices to products that will support auto-negotiation.
Cabling
• Verify that the cable type is correct.
• Be sure RJ-45 cable connectors are securely fastened into the correct ports.
• Use 100W straight-through cables for all standard connections.
• Use Category 5 cable for 100/1000Mbps Fast Ethernet connections, or Category 3, 4 or 5 cables for stan-
dard 10Mbps Ethernet connections.
• Be sure RJ21 phone wiring, use 18~26 gauge.
• Make sure all devices are connected to the network. Equipment any have been unintentionally discon-
nected from the network.
• When cascading two devices using RJ-45 station ports at both ends of the cable (Model 3324 supports auto
MDIX), without crossover cable can be used.
Physical Configuration
If problems occur after altering the network configuration, restore the original connections, and try to track the
problem down by implementing the new changes, one step at a time. Ensure that cable distances and other
physical aspects of the installation do not exceed recommendations
System Integrity
As a last resort verify the switch integrity with a power-on reset. Turn the power to the switch off and then on
several times. If the problem still persists and you have completed all the preceding diagnoses, contact your
dealer for assistance.
CPE (Customer Premise/Remote) Side Starts Link Watch Dog
If the CPE side (VDSL Modem) is on power standby for an excess of 20 minutes without connecting to the
Model 3324, the link has failed. The users must power cycle the CPE once to clear and the CPE should reconnect to the Model 3324.
