Introduction

General Description

The VDSL2 supports the signal conversion between

upports symmetry and

pecifications of the con nection are listed as

, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP

elephone wires

traditional Ethe rnet and innov ative VDSL2 tec hnology .
The device is a right solution to integrate current
Ethernet application with the new building phone line
networking technology, like hotel, office and
apartment environment.

The EoVDSL2 port s
asymmetry data transmission bandwidth up to
50Mbps and transmission distance up to 1000ft. It is
ideal for providing video-on-dem and and mult i-media
service to apartment, hotel and campus without
rewiring cable consideration. Moreover, the distance
expansion also provides wide range coverage.

The converter is plug-n-play without any software to
configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of
network protocols. Moreover , the rich diagnostic LEDs
on the front-panel provide the operating status of the
system.

Installing and Usin g
VDSL2 Converter

Installing the Ethernet over VDSL2
Converter

The converter does not require any software
configuration. Users can immediately use any feature
of this product simply b y attaching the cables and plu g
power on. There is some key limitation on the
Ethernet over VDSL2 networking, please check the
following items:

y The device is used for point-to-point connection only

and allows data and voice work on the same
telephone lines.

y The two RJ-11 connectors, one for voice device

connection (like telephone) and the other one for
network line connection

This device is an ideal client access unit for the
applications of apartment, hotel, campus and
hospitality. Integration with the Internet access
Concentrator, the total infrastructure could be a
perfect solution for multi-media local Internet. This
structure could support many multi-media
applications, like VOD (Video on Demand), Distant
education, Internet caching server, … and so on.
Therefore, most of the traffic will be limited on the local
phone line network instead of flooding to the Internet.
Another application for the converter is used for LAN
to LAN extension through the normal telephone line.

Connect to Internet Access Concentrator

In order to build up a local Internet in apartment, hotel,
campus and hospitality environment, the Internet
Access Concentrators need to be placed in the wiring
center (MDF room) and connect to the telephone line
system. On the other hand, you need to install a
converter on the individual client side and connect to
the Concentrator through the telephone lines.

When deciding where to put the converter then you
must ensure:

y It is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise such
as radios, transmitters and power lines and
fluorescent lighting fixtures.

y W ater or moisture cannot enter the unit.
y Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the

side of the case is not restricted (company
recommend that you provide a minimum of 25mm
clearance).

T o prolong the operational life of your units:

y Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack.
y Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case.

Installing Network Cables

After placing the converter on the desktop, then we
need to know how to connect the device to network.

Station Connections with Telephone Wires

Connect the network adapters in stations to the
converter’s RJ-45 port through category 3, 4 or 5
UTP/STP cables. There are two RJ-11 phone jacks;
one for telephone set connection and the other one is
used for phone line network connection. If you have
telephone wall jacks at home then all you need to do is
connecting the RJ-11 network port to the wall jack
through telephone wires.
