1.2 Product Description
High Performance Ethernet over VDSL
PLANET 802.11n Wireless VDSL2 Router, VC-230N, applies 2T2R MIMO antenna technology and provides
office and residential users with the ideal solution for sharing a high-speed VDSL2 broadband connection and
four-10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet backbone. The VC-230N is developed with three core networking technologies:
IEEE 802.11b/g/n, Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line 2). Via VDSL 2 technology,
the VC-230N offers very high performance access to Internet, up to 100Mbps for both downstream and
upstream data transmission. VDSL2 absolutely offers the fastest data transmission speed over existing copper
telephone lines without the need for rewiring.
Delivering High-Demand Service Connectivity for ISP / Triple Play Devices
The VC-230N provides excellent bandwidth to satisfy the triple play devices for home entertainment and
communication. With the capability of 100/100Mbps symmetric data transmission, the VC-230N enables many
multi-media services to work on local Internet, such as VOD (Video on Demand), Voice over IP, Video phone,
IPTV, Internet caching server, distance education, and so on.
High-Speed 802.11n Wireless
The VC-230N complies with ITU-T G993.2 standard and provides two modes for network applications --
Bridge and Router. With built-in IEEE 802.11b/g and 802.11n wireless network capability, the VC-230N
allows any computer and wireless-enabled network device to connect to it without additional cabling. 802.11n
wireless capability brings users the highest speed of wireless experience ever; the data transmission rate can
be as high as 300Mbps. The radio coverage is also doubled to offer high speed wireless connection even in
widely spacious offices or hous

*Theory Value
54Mbps
To secure wireless communication, the VC-230N supports most up-to-date encryptions including WEP,
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. Moreover, the VC-230N supports WPS configuration with PBC/PIN type for users
to easily connect to a secured wireless network.
Multiple Functions for Broadband Communication
There are two selectable VDSL2 operating modes of VC-230N: CO and CPE, which can be adjusted by Web
UI. Users can set up Point-to-Point application by connecting two VC-230Ns, in which one in CO mode and
9
User Manual of VC-230/230N
the other in CPE mode, to transmit data in high speed between two networks over existing copper telephone
lines.
Providing Superior Function
The VC-230N provides user-friendly management interface to be managed easily through standard web
browsers. For networking management features, the VC-230N not only provides basic router functions such as
DHCP server, virtual server, DMZ, QoS, and UPnP, but also provides full firewall functions including Network
Address Translation (NAT), IP/Port/MAC Filtering and Content Filtering. Furthermore, the VC-230N serves
as an Internet firewall to protect your network from being accessed by unauthorized users.

1.3 Product Features
Internet Access Features
Shared Internet Access: All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the
VC-230N using only one single external IP address. The local (invalid) IP addresses are
hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
Built-in VDSL2 Modem: The VC-230N provides VDSL2 modem and supports all common
VDSL2 connections.
Multiple WAN Connection: Upon the Internet (WAN port) connection, the VC-230N
supports Dynamic IP address (IP address is allocated upon connection), fixed IP address,
PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP.
CO and CPE Support: The VC-230N provides the Peer-to-Peer connection. Users can
select the CO and CPE mode manually.
Bridge and Router Application: The VC-230N supports two application modes: bridging
and routing modes. Currently, the default mode is routing mode. Note: routing mode and
bridging mode cannot be used simultaneously.
User Manual of VC-230/230N
Advanced Internet Functions
Virtual Servers: This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN.
The setup is quick and easy.
Firewall: The VC-230N supports simple firewall with NAT technology.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP): UPnP allows automatic discovery and configuration of
the Broadband Router. UPnP is supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.
Selectable VDSL2 Profiles: The VC-230N supports common VDSL2 profiles (30a, 17a,
12a, 12b, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) for users choice. Users can select different VDSL2 profiles based on
their needs.
User Friendly Interface: The VC-230N can be managed and controlled through Web UI.
DMZ Support: The VC-230N can translate public IP addresses into private IP address to
allow unlimited 2-way communication with the servers or individual users on the Internet. It
provides the most flexibility to run programs smoothly for programs that might be restricted in
NAT environment.
RIP1/2 Routing: It supports RIPv1/2 routing protocol for routing capability.
VPN Pass-through Support: PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software are
transparently supported - no configuration is required.
LAN Features
4-Port Switch: The VC-230N incorporates a 4-Port 10/100Base-TX switching hub, making
it easy to create or extend your LAN.
DHCP Server Support: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The VC-230N can act as a DHCP Server for
devices on your local LAN.
Wireless Features
Supports IEEE 802.11b, g and 802.11n Wireless Stations: The 802.11n standard
provides backward compatibility with the 802.11b and 802.11g standard, so 802.11b,
11
User Manual of VC-230/230N
802.11g, and 802.11n can be used simultaneously. IEEE 802.11n wireless technology is
capable of up to 300Mbps data rate.
Two External Antennas with MIMO Technology: The VC-230N provides farther
coverage, less dead spaces and higher throughput with 2T2R MIMO technology.
WPS Push Button Control: The VC-230N supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) for
users to easily connect to wireless network without configuring the security.
WEP Support: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 bit and 128 bit
are supported.
WPA-PSK Support: WPA-PSK_TKIP and WAP-PSK_AES encryption are supported.
Wireless MAC Access Control: The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC
address (hardware address) of wireless stations to ensure that only trusted wireless stations
can access your LAN.
