1.2 Introduction to Ethernet over VDSL Converter
The converter is a switching architecture with one RJ45 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports
and one RJ11 symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (symmetry means upstream and
downstream rate are the same or similar). It is ideal for signal conversion by transmitting
the Ethernet data from the standard twisted pair cable to the telephone cable and
extending the distance.
The Ethernet over VDSL combines the well proven Ethernet and VDSL technology to
transmit the Ethernet format data by using VDSL signaling over the most widespread
telephone wires and has no impact to current voice service. Therefore, it is very good for
Internet building phone line network because every room or house could use the existing
phone line to transmit data to the Internet and the whole building could share the Internet
line to the wide area network with minimum cost.
With much enough bandwidth, the 5/10/15 Mbps symmetric capability enables many
multi-media services on local Internet come true, like VOD (Video on Demand), Internet
caching server, distance education, and so on.
In one community or hotel, we just need to install one local server then the multi-media
services will be localized that is people do not need to access the services through Internet
but using local area network with better bandwidth and efciency. Meanwhile, this kind of
infrastructure will minimize the burden on the Internet.
The converter is plug-n-play without any software to congure and also fully compliant
with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel
provide the operating status of individual port and the whole system. There are two
models of the converters, one is used for client side and the other is central side. If you
want to setup one pair of converters for point-to-point connection then one set must be
slave (client) mode and the other one is master mode.
The cable specications of the connection are listed as following:

n Ethernet over VDSL, Twisted-pair telephone wires
The two drawings listed below are typical application for the Ethernet over VDSL
converter.

Note: Slave device must connect to Master device through the telephone
wire. Slave cannot connect to Slave and Master cannot connect to
Master. VC-102M works as Master device and VC-102S works as
Slave device.
1.3 Key Features
The converter provides the following key features:
• Cisco LRE switch / CPE compatible
• Complies with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u and IEEE802.3x standards
• 5 selectable transmission modes through DIP switch on VC-102M or manage-
ment interface of VC-1602
• QAM ( Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) line code
• Designed based on Frequency Division Duplex
• Half duplex Back pressure and IEEE802.3x Full Duplex Pause frame flow con-
trol
• Built-in POTS/ISDN splitter
• Two RJ-11 connectors for each VDSL port, one for VDSL connection and one for
POTS/ISDN connection
• Voice and data communication can be shared on the existing telephone wire
simultaneously
• Support up to 1536 bytes packet size, 802.1Q VLAN tag transparent
• Support extensive LED indicators for network diagnostics
