2. INSTALLATION
This section describes the hardware features and installation of the Managed Switch on the desktop or rack mount. For
easier management and control of the Managed Switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front
panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before connecting any network device to the Managed
Switch, please read this chapter completely.
2.1 Hardware Description
2.1.1 Switch Front Panel
The unit front panel provides a simple interface monitoring the switch. Figure 2-1-1 to 2-1-2 shows the front panel of the
Managed Switches.

Figure 2-1-2: VC-820M Switch front panel
■ Console Port
The console port is a DB9, RS-232 male serial port connector. It is an interface for connecting a terminal directly.
Through the console port, it provides rich diagnostic information includes IP Address setting, factory reset, port
management, link status and system setting. Users can use the attached RS-232 cable in the package and connect to
the console port on the device. After the connection, users an run any terminal emulation program (Hyper Terminal,
ProComm Plus, Telix, Winterm and so on) to enter the startup screen of the device.
■ VDSL2 and POTS interface
There are 24 VDSL2 ports and 24 POTS ports with 2 Telco-50 / RJ-21 type connectors on the front panel of
VC-2400MR series and there are 8 VDSL2 ports and 8 POTS ports with RJ-11 phone connectors on the front panel of
VC-820M. Each port is built-in POTS splitter that helps the voice of telephone and data of network applications
transmitting at the same wire without interrupted.
17
User’s Manual of VC-820M / VC-2400MR Series
The VDSL2 supports auto detection transmission rate that operate in different band allocation and result in different
upstream and downstream bandwidth. And Due to different telephone line quality, cross talk or extension distance may
affect actual achievable speed; you can configure individual port in built-in management interface for optimized
connectivity.
1. The payload rate is about 9% less than the line rate due to framing overhead.
2. AWG 26 (0.4mm) cable can also be used but the distance is 20% to 40% shorter than
above table.
3. Each terminated bridge tap can reduce the VDSL link distance by 90m.The quality of the
cable, the size of the cable bundles, and the cross talk within the bundle, can also affect
other overall reach.

without having to power down the Managed Switch. As the Figure 2-2-5 appears.
Figure 2-2-5: Plug-in the SFP transceiver
Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
PLANET Managed switches supports both single mode and multi mode SFP transceiver. The following list of approved
PLANET SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
1000Base-SX/LX SFP transceiver:
MGB-SX SFP (1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver – Multi mode / 220m)
MGB-LX SFP (1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver - Single Mode / 10km)
MGB-L30 SFP (1000Base-LX SFP transceiver – Single Mode / 30Km)
MGB-L50 SFP (1000Base-LX SFP transceiver - Single Mode / 50Km)
It recommends using PLANET SFPs on the Switch. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is
not supported, the Managed Switch will not recognize it.
Before connect to the other switches, workstation or Media Converter.
1. Make sure both side of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to
1000Base-SX, 1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX.
27
User’s Manual of VC-820M / VC-2400MR Series
2. Check the fiber-optic cable type match the SFP transceiver model.
¾ To connect to 1000Base-SX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable- with one side must be male duplex
LC connector type.
¾ To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable-with one side must be male
duplex LC connector type.
Connect the fiber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device – switches with SFP installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a Media
Converter..
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link failed. Co works with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, set the Link
mode to “1000 Force” is needed.
Remove the transceiver module
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consult or check with the network administrator. Or through the
management interface of the switch/converter (if available) to disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the Fiber Optic Cable gently.
3. Turn the handle of the MGB module to horizontal.
4. Pull out the module gently through the handle.

User’s Manual of VC-820M / VC-2400MR Series
2.3 Wiring for VDSL2 Ports
The VDSL2 port of VC-2400MR series uses one RJ-21 (Telco 50) connector to connect to a patch panel then link up to 24
VDSL CPEs and the VDSL2 port of VC-820M uses eight RJ-11 connectors which can be just directly connected to the
remote CPEs (VC-230, VC-230N, VC-231, VC-234 or other compatible CPE) through structured or unstructured wiring,
such as existing telephone lines. The link between the VDS2L CO Switch port and each CPE can reach speeds of up to
100/100 Mbps under 1000 feet (300 meters) with profile 30a or 18/1 Mbps over distances of up to 5000 feet (1500 meters).
You can hot swap the VDSL2 CPEs without powering down the Managed Switch or disrupting the other switch ports.
Each VC-820M and VC-2400MR series VDSL2 Managed Switch series had built-in Pain Old Telephone service (POTS)
splitter to transmit both VDSL2 traffic and telephone services, such as voice or Fax, through same phone wire. The splitter
routes VDSL2 data (high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) traffic from the telephone line and Pri vate Branch
exchange (PBX) switch or Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
The connection diagrams are as the following.
VC-2400MR Series VDSL2 and POTS connection
For the 24-Port VDSL or 24-PORT POTS, there are 24 pairs are used for tip and ring. The top row of the Telco RJ-21
connector is tip and the bottom row is ring. Figure 2-3-1 shows the pin out convention for the RJ-21 connector.
Figure 2-3-1 Pin out convention for the Telco RJ-21 connector of VC-2400MR series
To get the pin assignment of the VDSL/POTS port numbers to the pin numbers on the RJ-21
of the VC-2400MR series, please refer to APPENDIX A.3 for more detail.
The VDSL port and POTS port of VC-2400MR series always connects to a patch panel. The connection between the
VC-2400MR series and the patch panel is made by an RJ-21 Category 5 Telco interface connector and cable, as shown in
Figure 2-3-2 and Figure 2-3-3.
