■ VDSL2 and POTS interface (Port-1~Port-8)

There are 8 VDSL2 ports and 8 POTS ports with Screw less Spring Terminal Block connector on the front panel. The advantage of Screw less Spring Terminal Block connector is no need to fabricate RJ-11 type phone connector in the Equipment Room. And no need extra phone line patch panel. 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.

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 b ri dg e t ap ca n r e duc e th e 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.

■ Gigabit TP / SFP Combo interface (Port-9)

The one Gigabit TP/SFP combo interface provides the below link mode:

• 10/100/1000Base-T Copper, RJ-45 Twist-Pair: Up to 100 meters.

2.2.4 Wiring for VDSL ports

The VDSL2 ports of VC-810S / VC-810S48 use Screwless Spring Terminal Block connector to connect to 8 VDSL2 Converters (VC-210- Ethernet over VDSL2 Media Converter) through structured or unstructured wiring, such as existing telephone lines. The advantages of Screwless Terminal Block as below:

- Fast and maintenance-free connection regardless of the skills of the installer

- Vibration and shock resistant

The link between the VDSL2 Switch port and each Converter can reach speeds of u p to 100/55 Mbps o ver distances of up to1km. The network manager or ISP/Telecom operator can hot swap the VDSL2 Converters without powering down the VDSL2 Switch or disrup ti n g t he ot h e r S wit c h por ts.

If telephone services, such as voice or Fax, use the same cabling as VDSL2 traffic, the VDSL2 port is built-in POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) splitter that helps the voice of telephone and data of network applications transmitting at the same wire without interrupted. The splitter routes VDSL2 data (high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) traffic from the telephone line to the VDSL2 Switch and private branch exchange (PBX) switch or public switched telephone network (PSTN).

The connection diagram is as the following:

Figure 2-10 VDSL2 link diagram

If the port is connected but the relevant LED is dark, check the following items:

1. The VDSL2 Switch and the connected device’s power are on or not.

2. The connecting cable is good and with correct type.

3. The cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the Switch and in the associated device.

4. The connecting device, including any network adapter is well installed and functioning.

5. Confirm the CPE (VC-201) is set to CPE mode. Check the DIP switch at the rear panel.

6. Confirm the CPE (VC-201) device is implemented within the scope of operative without inter f er e nce .

4.4 VLAN

A V ir tua l LAN (V LA N) is a logical ne twork grouping that limits the broadcast do main. It allows you to isola te network traffic so only members of the VLAN re ce iv e tr af fic fro m t he s am e VLA N mem b er s. Bas i ca ll y, cr e at in g a VLA N fr om a swit c h is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plug into the same switch physically.

The VDSL2 Switch supports IEEE 802.1Q (tagged-based) and Po rt-Base VLAN setting in web management page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is “No VLAN”.

Port-based VLAN

Port-based VLAN limit traffic that flows into and out of sw itch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port are members of the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a single computer directly connected to a switch, or an entire department.

On port-based VLAN.NIC do not need to be able to iden ti fy 802 .1Q tag s in pa cke t headers. NIC send and re ceive normal Ethernet packets. If the packet's destination lies on the same segment, communications take place using normal Ethernet protocols. Even though this is always the case, when the destination for a packet lies on another switch port, VLAN considerations come into play to decide if the packet is dropped by the Switch or delivered.

IEEE 802.1Q VLANs

IEEE 802.1Q (tagged) VLAN are implemented on the Switch. 802.1Q VLAN require tagging, which enables them to span the entire network (assuming all switches on the network are IEEE 802.1Q-compliant).

VLAN allow a network to be segmented in order to reduce the size of broadcast do mains. All packets en tering a VLAN w ill only be forwarded to the stations (over IEEE 802.1Q enabled sw itches) that are members of tha t VLAN, and this includes broadcast, multicast and unicast packets from unknown sources.

VLAN can also provide a level of security to your network. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN will only deliver packets between stations that are members of the VLAN. Any port can be con figured a s either tagging or untagging. The untagging featu re of IEEE

802.1Q VLAN allows VLAN to work with legacy switches that don't recognize VLAN tags in packet headers. The tagging feature allows VLAN to span multiple 802.1Q-compliant switches through a single physical connection and allows Spanning Tree to be enabled on all ports and work normally.

Any port can be configured as either tagging or untagging. The untagging feature of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows VLAN to work with legacy switches that don’t recognize VLAN tags in packet headers. The tagging feature allows VLAN to span multiple 802.1Q-compliant switches through a single physical connection and allows Spanning Tree to be enabled on all ports and work normally.

Some relevant terms:

Tagging - The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet. Untagging - The act of stripping 802.1Q VLAN information out of the packet header.

802.1Q VLAN Tags

The figure below shows the 802.1Q VLAN tag. There are four additional octets inserted after the source MAC address. Their presence is i ndi c at e d b y a va l ue of 0 x8100 in the Ether Type field. When a packet's Ether Type field is equal to 0x8100, the packet carries the IEEE 802.1Q/802.1p tag. The tag is contained in the following two octets and consists of 3 bits of user priority, 1 bit of Canonical Format Identifier (CFI - used for encapsulating Token Ring packets so they can be carried across Ethernet backbones), and 12 bits of VLAN ID (VID ). The 3 bits of use r priority are used by 802.1p . The VID is the VLAN identifier and is used by the 802.1Q standard. Because the VID is 12 bits long, 4094 unique VLAN can be identified.

User’s Manual of VC-810S / VC-810S48

The tag is inserted into the packet header making the entire packet longer by 4 octets. All of the information originally contained in the packet is retained.

The Ether Type and VLAN ID are inserted after the MAC source address, but before the original Ether Type/Length or Logical Link Control. Because the packet is now a bit longer than it was originally, the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) must be recalculated.

Packets that are tagged (are carrying the 802.1Q VID informa tion) can be transmi tted from one 802.1Q compliant network device to another with the VLAN information intact. This allows 802.1Q VLAN to span network devices (and indeed, the entire network – if all network devices are 802.1Q compliant).

Every physical port on a switch has a PVID. 802.1Q ports are a lso as signed a PVID, for use w ithin the sw itch. If no VLAN are defined on the switch, all ports are then assigned to a default VLAN with a PVID equal to 1. Untagged packets are assigned the PVID of the port on which they were received. Forwarding decisions are based upon this PVID, in so far as VLAN are concerned. Tagged packets are forwarded according to the VID contained within the tag. Tagged packets are also assigned a PVID, but the PVID is not used to make packet forwarding decisions, the VID is.

Tag-aware switches must keep a table to relate PVID within the switch to VID on the network. The switch will compare the VID of a packet to be transmitted to the VID of the port that is to transmit the packet. If the tw o VID are different the switch will drop the packet. Because of the existence of the PVID for untagged packets and the VID for tagged packets, tag-aware and tag-unaware network devices can coexist on the same network.

A switch port can have only one PVID, but can have as many VID as the switch has memory in its VLAN table to store them.

User’s Manual of VC-810S / VC-810S48

Because some devices on a network may be tag-unaware, a decision must be made at each port on a tag-aware device before packets are transmitted – should the packet to be transmitted have a tag or not? If the transmitting port is connected to a tag-unaware device, the packet should be untagged. If the transmitting port is connected to a tag-aware device, the packet should be tagged.

Default VLANs

The Switch initially configures one VLAN, VID = 1, called "default." The factory default setting assigns all ports on the Switch to the "default". As new VLAN are configured in Port-based mo de, the ir re s pective member ports are r emo v ed from the "default."

The VDSL2 Switch supports SVL(Shared VLAN Learning) , all VLAN groups share the same Layer 2 learned MAC address table.

1 No matter what basis is used to uniquely identify end nodes and assign these nodes

VLAN membership, packets cannot cross VLAN without a network device performing a routing function between the VLAN.

2 The Switch supports Port-based VLAN and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. The port untagging

function can be used to remove the 802.1 tag from packet headers to maintain compatibility with devices that are tag-unaware.

4.4.1 VLAN Configuration

The VLAN Configuration page contains fields for managing VLAN mode of the VDSL2 Switch and setting ports that are part of a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured on the VLAN Port Configuration page. All untagged packets arriving to the device are tagged by the ports PVID. The screen in Figure 4-16 and 4-17 appears.

The VDSL2 Switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (Tagged-based) in Web management page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is “No VLAN”.

Understand nomenclature of the 802.1Q VLAN aware Switch Tagging and Untagging

Every port on an 802.1Q compliant switch can be configured as tagging or untagging. 。 Tagging: Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into the header o f

all packets that flow into those ports. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. The VLAN information in the tag can then be used by othe r 802.1Q compliant devices on the network to make packet-forwarding decisions.

。 Untagging: Ports with untagging enabled will strip the 802 .1Q tag from all packets that flow into those ports. If the

packet doesn't have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet. Thus, all packets received by and

User’s Manual of VC-810S / VC-810S48

forwarded by an untagging port will have no 802.1Q VLAN information. (Remember that the PVID is only used internally within the Switch). Untagging is used to send packets from an 802.1Q-compliant network device to a non-compliant network device.

4.5 Quality of Service

Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced traffic prioritization feature that allows you to establish control over network traffic. QoS enables you to assign various grades of network service to different types of traffic, such as multi-media, video, protocol-specific, time critical, and file-backup traffic.

QoS reduces bandwidth limitations, delay, loss, and jitter. It also provide s increased reliability for delivery of your data and allows you to prioritize certain applications across your network. You can define exactly how you want the switch to treat selected applications and types of traffic.

You can use QoS on your system to:

• Classifying traffic based on packet attributes.

• Assigning priorities to traffic (for example, to set higher priorities to time-critical or business-critical applications).

• Applying security policy through traffic filtering.

• Provide predictable throughput for multimedia applications such as video conferencing or voice over IP by

minimizing delay and jitter.

• Improve performance for specific types of traffic and preserve performance as the amount of traffic grows.

• Reduce the need to constantly add bandwidth to the network.

• Manage network congestion.

The QoS page of the VDSL2 Switch contains three types of QoS mode - the 802.1p mode, DSCP mode or Port-base mode can be selected. Both the three mode rely on predefined fields within the packet to determine the output queue.

 802.1p Tag Priority Mode –The output queue assignment is determined by the IEEE 802.1p VLAN priority

tag.

 TOS/DSCP Mode - The output queue assignment is determined by the TOS or DSCP field in the IP packets.  Port-Base Priority Mode – Any packet received from the specify high p riority port will treated as a high priority

packet.

The Switch supports two priority level queue, the queue service rate is based on the WRR(Weight Round Robin) alorithm. The WRR ratio of high-priority and low-priority can be set to “Hight first, 4:1, 8:1 and 16:1.

The screen in Figure 4-32 shows the Quality of Service configuration page.

DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) － is the traffic prioritization bits within an IP header that are encoded by certain applications and/or devices to indicate the level of service required by the packet across a network.

The Quality of Service page provides fields for defining output queue to specific DSCP fields. When TCP/IP’s TOS/DSCP mode is applied, the VDSL2 Switch recognizes TCP/IP Differentiated Service Codepoint (DSCP) priority information from the DS-field defined in RFC2474.

4.6 Multicast

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) lets host and routers share information about multicast groups memberships. IGMP snooping is a switch feature that monitors the exchange of IGMP messages and copies them to the CPU for feature processing. The overall purpose of IGMP Snooping is to limit the forwarding of multicast frames to only ports that are a member of the multicast group.

About the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping

Computers and network devices that want to receive multicast transmissions need to inform nearby routers that they will become members of a multicast group. The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used to communicate this information. IGMP is also used to periodi cally check the multi cast group for members tha t are no longer active . In the case where there is more than one multicast router on a sub network, one router is elected as the ‘queried’. This router then keeps track of the membership of the multicast groups that ha ve active members. The informa tion received fro m IGMP is then used to determine if multicast packets should be forwarded to a given sub network or not. The router can check, using IGMP, to see if there is at least one me mber of a multicast group on a given subnet w ork. If there are no me mbers on a sub network, packets will not be forwarded to that sub network.

IGMP Versions 1 and 2

Multicast groups allow members to join or leave at any time. IGMP provides the method for members and multicast routers to communicate when joining or leaving a multicast group.

IGMP version 1 is defined in RFC 1112. It has a fixed packet size and no optional data. The format of an IGMP packet is shown below:

IGMP packets enable multicast routers to keep track of the membership of multicast groups, on their respective sub networks. The following outlines what is communicated between a multicast router and a multicast gr o up m em ber us i n g IGMP.

A host sends an IGMP “report” to join a group

A host will never send a report when it wants to leave a group (for version 1).

A host will send a “leave” report when it wants to leave a group (for version 2). Multicast routers send IGMP queries (to the all-hosts group address: 224.0.0.1) periodically to see whether any group

members exist on their sub networks. If there is no response from a particula r group, the router a ssumes tha t there a re no group members on the network.

The Time-to-Live (TTL) field of query messages is set to 1 so that the queries will not be forw arded to other sub networks.

IGMP version 2 introduces some enhancements such as a method to elect a multicast queried for each LAN, an explicit leave message, and query messages that are specific to a given group.

The states a computer will go through to join or to leave a multicast group are shown below:

Multicast Router port. The possible result might be:

• Normal

• IP multicast Router port

Once IGMP Snooping is enabled, Multicast control packets are forwarded to the appropriate port .

User’s Manual of VC-810S / VC-810S48

The Multicast tab le is com bin ed with a La yer 2 MAC t abl e wit h m axim um of 8k entries. For a given multicast entry, the valid port member bit will auto age out after 300 seconds if the port does not receive a corresponding group address IGMP report packet.

Enabling IGMP Snooping allows the ports to detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch. IGMP have three fundamental types of message as follows:

Message Description

Query

Report

Leave Group

A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking for a response from each host belonging to the multicast group.

A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the ho st wants to be or is a member of a given group indicated in the report message.

A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host has quit to be a member of a specific multi c as t gro u p.

User’s Manual of VC-810S / VC-810S48

4.9 Link Aggregation

Port Link Aggregation optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single Link Aggregated Groups (LAGs). Port Aggregation multiplies the bandwidth between the devices, increases port flexibility, and provides link redundancy.

Each LAG is composed of ports of the same speed, se t to full-duplex op erations. Ports in a LAG, ca n be of differen t media types (UTP/Fiber, or different fiber types), provided they operate at the same speed.

Aggregated Links are treated by the system as a single logical port. Specifically, the Aggregated Link has similar port attributes to a non-aggregated port, including auto-negotiation, speed, Duplex setting, etc.

The device supports the following Aggregation links :

 Static LAGs (Port Trunk) – Force aggregared selected ports to be a trounk group.

This function provides to cascade multiple VDSL2 converter to VDSL2 Switch with a double bandwidth.

 2 Trunk Group per system, up to 4 ports per Trunk Group.

The Link Aggregation configuration screen in Figure 4-45 appears.

Specify the Joined Trunk Group. There’re maximum 2 trunk groups per system, up to 4 ports as a trunk group number. They are identified as:

Trunk Group Enable / Disable control.

The default setting is Disable.

• Trunk 1: Port 1,2, 3 ,4

• Trunk 2 : Port 5,6,7,8

User’s Manual of VC-810S / VC-810S48

The VDSL2 Switch Trunk Group always sends packets over the same link path in the trunk with a given Source and Destination MAC address to prevent frames from getting out of order, but the reverse path may follow a different link.

5. SWITCH OPERATION

5.1 Address Table

The VDSL2 Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch.

5.2 Learning

When one packet comes in from any port, the VDSL2 Switch w ill record the source address, port no . And the other related information in address table. This information will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering for future packets.

5.3 Forwarding & Filtering

When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet Switching, it will also check the destination address besides the source address learning. The Ethernet Switching will lookup the address-table for the destination address. If not found, this packet will be forwarded to all the other ports except the po rt, which this packet comes in. And these ports w ill transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found, and the destination address is located at different port from this packet comes in, the Ethernet Switching will forward this packet to the port where this de stination add ress is located a ccording to the information from address table. But, if the destination address is located at the same port with this packet comes in, then this packet will be filtered. There by increasing the network throughput and availability.

5.4 Store-and-Forward

Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and-Forward Ethernet Switching stores the incoming frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability.

The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the switch is most commonly used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall performance. An Ethernet Switching can be easily configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost bandw idth using conventional ca bling and adapters.

Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the source address and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to filter packets whose destination address is on the same segment a s the source address. This confines network traf fic to its re spective do main, reducing the overall load on the network.

The VDSL2 Switch performs "Store and Forward" therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.

User’s Manual of VC-810S / VC-810S48

5.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP port on the VDSL Switch have built-in “Auto-negotiation”. This technology au tomatically se ts the best po ssible bandwidth when a connection is established with another ne twork de vice (u sually a t Powe r On or Re se t). This is done by detect the modes and speeds at the second of both device is connected and capable of, both 10Base -T and 100Base-TX devices can connect with the port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. 1000Base-T can be only connected in Full-duplex mode.

5.6 VDSL2

VDSL2 (Very High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line 2), G.993.2 is the newest and most advanced standard of xDSL broadband wire line communications.

Designed to support the wide deployment of Triple Play services such as voice, data, high definition television(HDTV) and interactive gaming, VDSL2 enable operators and carrier to gradually, flexibly, and cost efficiently upgrade exiting xDSL-infrastructure.

7. FAQ

Q1: What is the maximum distance for VC-810S (CO Switch) to VC-201(CPE)? A1: In order to guarantee the stabili ty and better quality of network, so we would suggest the distan ce within 1 kilo meter is

the best for VC-810S and VC-201.

Q2: What is the best date rate for VC-810S?

A2: We provide the data rate of the VC-810 is up to 55Mbps/100Mpbs (upstream/downstream) in 200 meters.

Q3: Can VC-810S compatible with VC-1602?

A3: The OLANET VC-810S is base on ITU-T G.993.2 VDSL2, and VC-1602 is VDSL1, so it can not compatible with

VC-201.

Q4: Can VC-810S compatible with VC-200M/VC-200S?

A4: Currently NO, although VC-810S and VC-200M/200S are base on ITU-T G.993.2 VDSL2, but with different chipset

specification, so far they are not compatible with each other.

Q5: What is SNR and what’s the eff ect?

A5: In analog and digital communications, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, often written SNR, is a measure of signal strength

relative to background noise. The ratio is usually measured in decibels (dB). In digital communications, the SNR will probably cause a reduction in data speed because of frequent errors that

require the source (transmitting) computer or terminal to resend some pa ckets o f da ta . SNR measu res the quality of a transmission channel over a network channel. The greater the ra tio, the ea sier it is to identi fy and subsequen tly isolate and eliminate the source of noise.

Generally speaking, the higher SNR value gets better line quality, but lower performance.
