1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The VLINK modem generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if
not installed and used properly-that is, in strict accordance with the man­ufacturer’s instructions-may cause interference to radio and television
reception. The VLINK modem has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with specifica­tions in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installa­tion. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the VLINK modem does cause interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting
the unit, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment
away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plug­ging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the
computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).

1.2 CE NOTICE

The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates that it is
in compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive
and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the European Union (EU). A Cer­tificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical Support.

1.3 FCC PART 68 (DV VERSION ONLY)

The Model 1058/1068D is not intended to be connected
to the public telephone network.

Caution

The VLINK modem port is not intended to be connected
to the public telephone network. The 1058/1068DV con­tains a POTS/ISDN connection that can be connected to
the public telephone network.

Caution

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Please note the
following:

This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC rules and the requirements
adopted by ACTA. On the, bottom side of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.

• Universal Service Order code (USOC) jack: RJ-11C

• Facility Interface Code: 02LS2

• Service Order Code (SOC): 9.0F

• REN No.: 0.2
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring

and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68
rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be con­nected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most
but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The
REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without
a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in adv ance that tempor ary discontinuance of ser­vice may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone
company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is
necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equip­ment. If this happens the telephone company will pro vide advance notice
in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninter­rupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty infor­mation, please contact our company. If the equipment is causing harm to
the telephone network, the telephone company may request that y ou dis­connect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the
state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation
commission for information.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics VLINK/CO* and VLINK/CP VDSL* modems pro­vide high-speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs,
remote PCs, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.

Operating in pairs, a VLINK/CO (central office) located at one end of the
LAN extension and a VLINK/CP (customer premise) at the other end,
these units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts , m ulticasts , and
frames across a 2-wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is passed

* Only Models 1058/1068DV/CO and 1058/1068DV/CP have

POTS/ISDN splitters on board.

transparently (unmodified) through the VLINK modems . The VLINK
modems automatically add and delete MAC addresses, only passing
packets across the VDSL link that are meant for the remote peered LAN.

Figure 1.

Typical application

The VLINK/CO modem and VLINK/CP modem work together to create a
transparent extension between tw o peered Ethernet LANs. PO TS/ISDN
calls can be made over a VDSL link without interfering with the data.
Figure 1 shows a typical point-to-point application.

3.0 INSTALLATION

Because the VLINK modem requires no configur ation, it can be installed
quickly. If you are installing a standalone unit, ref er to section 3.1 “Standal­one unit installation”. Otherwise, refer to section 3.2 “Rac k card installation”.

Note

If asymmetric transmission or line rates other than 12.5 Mbps
are required (Model 1068 only), refer to section 4.0, “Configura­tion (Model 1068 Only)” on page 15.

3.1 STANDALONE UNIT INSTALLATION

Do the following:

1. Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.3,
“Connecting the Twisted-Pair Line Interface” on page 11)

Note

See Figure 2 for the standalone unit’s rear panel arrangements.

2. Connect the Ethernet interface (ref er to section 3.4, “Connecting the
10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 12).

3. Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.6, “Connecting P o wer” on
