Applications

What are the primary applications for the Model 1058 VDSL Modem?

LAN Extension & Service Integration

Used in pairs (Central Office and Customer Premise), the Model 1058 establishes a high­speed, line sharing, symmetrical 12.5 Mbps voice and data link. The Model 1058 inter­connects two geographically separated LANs over a voice-grade twisted pair wire. Operation
is simple: packets destined for the remote LAN are sent transparently, at full line rate, to the
peered LAN. The Model 1058DVs built-in splitter allows users to simultaneously talk on the
phone while surfing the web, downloading files or receiving e-mails.

Other Applications include:

• MTU/MDU Integrated Services (Voice and Data)

• Network Backbones

• Hybrid Copper-Fiber Infrastructure

• Fiber To The Closet/VDSL to the desktop

• Fiber To The Curb (FTTC)/VDSL to the home

• Remote Workstations and Equipment

• ISP Last Mile Extension

• Remote Medical Imaging

What is VDSL?

VDSL technology (Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) allows for the simultaneous
transmission of voice, data, and video on existing voice-grade copper wires. VDSL is the
fastest DSL technology currently available. Depending on the intended applications, VDSL can
be set to run symmetrically or asymmetrically. VDSL’s high bandwidth allows for applications
such as high-definition television, video-on-demand (VOD), high quality video conferencing,
medical imaging, fast Internet access, and regular voice telephone services all over a single
voice-grade twisted pair. Achievable VDSL distances vary based on data rate, gauge/type of
wire, and noise/cross talk environment.

How is the VDSL connection established?

Five steps are required to establish a communications link between the two Model 1058 VDSL
Modems (Central Office and Customer Premise) and the respective network devices.

1) Connect the 10/100Base-T devices to the Ethernet port of each 1058 unit.

2) Connect the POTS/ISDN device to the POTS/ISDN port of each 1058 unit (1058DV only)

3) Connect each end of the twisted-pair wire to the VDSL port of each 1058 unit.

4) Plug the 1058 power supplies into a suitable power source.

5) Plug the output jack of each power supply to the rear power jack of each 1058 unit.

Once powered up, a communications link is established between the two 1058 units and the
VDSL Link LED on each 1058 unit will glow solid green.

Does the Model 1058 include any management capabilities or test modes?

No, the Model 1058 does not have any management capabilities or test modes. However, it
does feature five status LED indicators to provide operational status at a glance and assist with
troubleshooting.

Why does the Model 1058 VDSL QOL/error light occasionally flash?

When the QOL/"error” LED flashes it signifies that error correction is taking place and data
integrity is maintained. It is possible for the error light to be constantly lit and the link will still
function with data intact. However, when the QOL/Error LED is continuously lit, 1058’s are
approaching their maximum distance capabilities under the current environment.
