2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics VLINK/CO and VLINK/CP VDSL modems pro vide
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
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.
The VLINK/CO modem and VLINK/CP modem work together to create a
transparent extension between tw o peered Ethernet LANs. POTS/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 “Rack card installation”.
Note
If asymmetric transmission or line rates other than 12.5 Mbps
are required, refer to section 4.0, “Configuration” on page 13.
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 10)
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 11).
3. Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.6, “Connecting P o wer” on
page 12).

3.2 RACK CARD INSTALLATION
The VLINK modem rack card comprised a front card and a rear card.Do
the following to install the cards into the rack chassis:
1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails.
2. Secure the rear card using the supplied metal screws.
3. Slide the front card into the chassis until you feel resistance as the
front card engages the rear card. When that happens,
gently
push
the front card forward until it is fully seated in the card-edge receptacle of the rear card (it should
click
into place).
4. Secure the front card using the captive fasteners.
Note
The Model 1001R14 chassis supports “hot swapping” of cards,
so it is not necessary to power down the rack when you install or
remove a VLINK modem rack card.

6. Connect the Ethernet interface (ref er to section 3.4, “Connecting the
10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 11).
3.3 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE
The VLINK modem supports communication between two peer Ethernet
LAN sites over a distance of up to 6,000 ft (1.83 km) over 24 AWG
(0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.
Note
Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on
the environment and type/gauge of wire used.
Follow the steps below to connect the VLINK modem VDSL interfaces.
Note
The VLINK modem units work in pairs. One of the units must be
a CO (Central Office), and the other unit must be a CP (Customer Premise). It does not matter which end is the CO and
which is the CP. The link is always initiated by the CP. As long as
the CO is powered on, the CP can establish a link b y being po wered on or by having its power reset.
1. To function properly, the two VLINK modems must be connected
together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire, between
19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through
signal equalization equipment are not acceptable.
2. The VLINK modem is equipped with two interface jac ks that can be
used on the VDSL interface, an RJ-45 or a terminal block. These
VDSL interfaces are a two-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationships on the VLINK modem's VDSL interface jacks.
The
RJ-45 connector
polarity insensitive
on the VLINK modem's twisted pair interface
is
and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin
relationship is shown in Figure 4.

3.4 CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE
The unshielded RJ-45 port labeled
Ethernet
is the AutoMDIX10/100Base-T interface. This port is designed to connect directly to
a 10/100Base-T network. Figure 6 shows the signal/pin relationships on
this interface. You may connect this port to a hub or PC using a straight
through or crossover cable that is up to 328 ft long.

3.5 CONNECTING THE POTS/ISDN LINE
The RJ-45 port labeled “POTS/ISDN” is the POTS/ISDN interface. A telephone or an ISDN device ma y be connected to this port and carried over
the VDSL line. The units do not need power for the POTS interface to
work. The RJ-45 connector in the VLINK modem’s POTS/ISDN interface
is wired as shown in Figure 7.

3.6 CONNECTING POWER
An external AC or DC power supply is available separately. This connection is made via the barrel jack on the rear panel of the VLINK standalone
modem. No configur ation is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
DC power (supplied via the power supply jack to the VLINK modem)
must meet the following requirements; DC power supplied must be regulated +5VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. Center pin is +5V. The barrel type
plug has a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions.
The VLINK modem does not have a power switch, so it powers up as
soon as it is plugged in.
There are no user-serviceable parts in the VLINK
modem.Fuse replacement should only be performed
by qualified service personnel. Contact Patton Electronics Technical support at (301) 975-1007 for more
information.

4.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 1068 VLINK modem has eight DIP switches for configuring
the unit for a wide variety of applications. This section describes switch
locations and explains the different configurations. No dip switch options
are available on the 1058.
4.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE DIP SWITCHES
Using a small flat-tip screwdriver , remo v e the protectiv e co v er located on
the underside of the VLINK modem (see Figure 8).

4.2 CONFIGURING DIP SWITCH S1
DIP switch S1 is where you configure the VDSL line rate, symmetric or
asymmetric, Ethernet full auto negotiation capability (100Base-T full or
half duplex, 10Base-T full or half duplex) or limited auto sense (only
100Base-T half duplex, 10Base-T full or half duplex).
Switch S1-1: Ethernet Auto Sense
Use switch S1-1 to configure the unit for full auto sense capability or limited auto sense capability. Full Auto sense capability consists of standard
Ethernet Auto sensing (100BaseT full duplex, 100BaseT half duplex,
10BaseT full duplex, and 10BaseT half duplex). Limited Auto sensing
capability consists on only auto sensing for 100BaseT half duplex,
10BaseT full duplex, and 10BaseT half duplex. The limited auto negotiation feature is used when an Ethernet device does not comply with IEEE
802.3x (back pressure flow control) at 100M full duplex.

Once the VLINK modems are properly installed, they should operate
transparently. No user settings required. This section describes reading
the LED status monitors.
5.1 POWER UP
Before applying power to the VLINK modem, please review section 3.6,
“Connecting Po w er” on page 12 to verify that the unit is connected to the
appropriate power source.
There are no user-serviceable parts in the VLINK
modem.Fuse replacement should only be performed
by qualified service personnel. Contact Patton Electronics Technical support at (301) 975-1007 for more
information.
WARNING
5.2 FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS
The VLINK modem f eatures nine front panel LEDs (fiv e on the rac k card)
that monitor power, the Ethernet signals, and the VDSL connection.
Figure 11 (standalone version) and Figure 12 on page 19 (rack card version) show the front panel LEDs. Table 5 on page 18 describes the LED
functions for the standalone model, Table 6 on page 19 describes the
LED functions for the rack card.
