1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the VC-412 VDSL Managerial Switch for your MDU Solution.
PLANET has been on the forefront of VDSL (Very High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line)
technologies since their inception, and will always strive to create quality, cost-effective
solutions for VDSL users and installers.
Fiber all the way to the home (FTTH) is very expensive therefore another alternative is a
combination of fiber cables to Optical Network Units (ONUs) or otherwise called the Fiber
to the Neighborhood (FTTN) as the connection point between fiber and existing or new
copper wire.
One of the enabling technologies for FTTN is Very high rate Digital
Subscriber Line, or VDSL. In simple terms, VDSL transmits high speed data over short
reaches of twisted-pair copper telephone lines, with a range of speeds depending upon
actual line length.
By choosing the VC-412 VDSL Managerial Switch, you have enabled your network to
have the superb speed and manageability. VC-412 offers 12 VDSL ports, 12 POTS/ISDN
ports and 4 Ethernet ports for your VDSL solutions.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Connecting VC-412
The VC-412 has the ability to provide up to 12 remote VDSL connections. The VC-412
serves as a VDSL Managerial Switch, it can connect up to 12 sets of PLANET remote
VDSL modems such as the VC-101S.
The VC-412 connects to the PBX through the POTS/ISDN ports to provide telephone
services to the remote ends. The VC-412 VDSL ports then connect to the remote VDSL
modems via telephone wires with a maximum distance up to 1.5 km.
The VC-412 takes approximately 15 seconds to start, therefore when connecting the
VC-412 to a remote modem such as the VC-101S, it will take 15 seconds for link to be
established.
VC-412 Ethernet Port-D can serve as an uplink or a regular Ethernet port on, when the
Uplink button is pressed down it serve as an uplink port, when the Uplink button is
released it serve as a regular Ethernet port. Hence when connecting the VC-412 to
WAN via regular Cat. 5 cable on Port-D press down the Uplink button.

2.2 Console Port Setup
VC-412 User’s Manual
8
The VC-412 contains a powerful management interface accessible through the Console
Port. This section will discuss connecting to the switch through Console Port or Telnet.
For connection to the VC-412 via the console port, you must use the included DB-9 to
DB-9 cable.
Once out of the box and powered on, you must use the Console Port to setup the switch
core settings. Some of the basic settings include:
• Switch Management Module IP Address
• Gateway Address
• Subnet Mask
• Password Settings
To setup Console connection, use the DB9-to-DB9 cable to connect the VC-412 Console
port to PC COM port.
Once the VC-412 Console port is connected to the PC COM port, start any terminal
application. Subsequently, configure the terminal application settings with following
variables:
Baud Rate Data Bits Parity Stop Bits
low Control
19200bps 8 None 1 None
Once connected, password authentication is required. The default password is admin.
Console and Telnet share similar interfaces, the main difference between them is that
Console connects to the Switch directly through a cable. Telnet connects to the switch
remotely via an IP Address. Therefore, to use Telnet to access to the Switch, you will first
need to assign a valid IP address to the Switch through the Console. Otherwise use the
factory default IP address listed in the Appendix A. Web-Based interfaces also required
the same Switch IP, however the interfaces are different from Console and Telnet. (This
will be discussed in the Chapter 3.)
To assign an IP address to the Switch:
1.
Select Management Configuration option from the Main Menu.
2.
Select System Configuration option from the Submenu.
3.
Select IP Address option.
4.
Enter valid IP address.
5.
When setting up Gateway Address and Subnet Mask repeat Step 2 and select
the appropriate option in the menu. Refer to your network administrator for your
appropriate Gateway Address and Subnet Mask.
VC-412 User’s Manual

.
Once you have assigned a valid IP address to the Switch, proceed to chapter 4 for an
explanation of the menu systems and commands.
2.3 Telnet Setup
Once you have setup the switch IP address via the Console Port, you are ready to access
the management functions from any station on your network via Telnet. To connect,
simply start your telnet client and enter the address you configured into the switch
(Device IP Address). Below you can see an example of using the standard Windows®
Telnet client. Before using Telnet, you must first know your Switch device IP address. The
IP should have been set earlier in the Console setup section. If the IP address has not yet
been set, refer to the quick installation guide.
For Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP:
A. Press on Start Menu, then on RUN, type in telnet and the device IP address. For
example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.1, type “telnet 192.168.0.1” and hit enter.
B. Connection will initiate and you will be prompt to enter password.
C. The default password is admin, unless it has been changed previously.
Once you have logged into the switch, proceed to the next section for an explanation on
issuing ICD commands.

3. WEB CONFIGURATION
3.1 Web configuration setup
Configuration through Web browser interface is a fast and convenient way. Although
this is an easy method, you do not have the full flexibility and control granted as you
would under Telnet or Console. The HTTP interface allows basic functions, such as Reset
Unit Counters. However, we recommend users to perform modifications through Console
or Telnet interfaces. The Web browser interface also allows VDSL ports and Ethernet
(trunk) ports monitoring, providing feedback on network statuses.
To log on to the VC-412 via HTTP you must first provide the IP address to the VC-412.
The IP address should have been set earlier in the Console setup section. If your IP has
not been set, please refer to the Console port section or the Defaults section in the
Appendix A.
Note: Please use MS Internet Explorer 5.5 or above to access to the VDSL Web page.
A. Launch your Web browser.
B. Enter the corresponding VDSL Managerial Switch IP Address in the address
field and press Enter.
C. You will be able to select your language preferences in the upper-right corner.
Selections are: English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and
Japanese respectively.
D. Press the Become Administrator button if you want to access to administrator
options.
