1.2 About the Switch
The VC-1602 is an Ethernet over VDSL switch with sixteen VDSL ports (on 1 RJ-21
connector) and two Gigabit slide-in slots on the rear panel for optional fiber/copper Gigabit
modules. The switch is a DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer)
accommodating well proven Ethernet and VDSL technologies to extend Ethernet over
single-pair phone line by using a VDSL signal. Up to 15/17Mbps bandwidth and 5
selective transmission modes provides ultra-high performance to the pervasive telephone
line network, and has the advantage of minimum installation time and minimum expense
by allowing voice and data to share the same telephone pair without interference.
Moreover, the maximum 1.5km distance provides wide coverage for service providers.
The 2 Gigabit slide-in slots on the rear panel provide fat pipes for connecting to the
backbone or connecting to servers. 10/100/1000Base-T, 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX
modules are available to fit existing networks and to provide flexible media selections.
The VDSL Switch contains an advanced management capability that can be remotely
accessed by Telnet, SNMP and Browser. The standard IEEE 802.1Q with VLAN tagging
feature makes logically separating nodes easier with up to 255 VLAN groups allowed.
Two priority queues with 802.1p support, IGMP snooping and rate control function are
also provided to optimize network bandwidth.
The VC-1602 provides switch stacking functionality to manage up to 8 switches using a
single IP address. Through its proprietary management bus using a standard RJ-45
cable, the distance between stacked switches can be up to 800m. The management bus
traffic is separated from the network ports, ensuring heavy network loading does not affect
management tasks. 128 VDSL ports can be managed with a single IP address.
The VC-1602 is ideal for providing broadband services to subscribers in apartment, hotel
and campus communities. Fully compatible with Cisco LRE CPE modems, PLANET's
VDSL solution provides a lower cost replacement and smooth migration from existing
Cisco LRE networks.

cable, the size of the cable bundles, and the cross talk
Stack ports
There are two stack ports on the front panel. One is IN and the other is OUT. When
stacked, the IN port should connect to the other switch’s OUT port and the OUT port
should connect to other switch’s IN out. You can just use normal Cat 5 or better cable with
RJ-45 connector to stack. Only straight-through UTP/STP cable can be used. There is no
Duplex Mode issue and the maximum distance between first and last switch is 800m.
SWITCH ID
Each switch on a stack must have a unique switch ID. There are eight degrees (0~7) in
the rotary switch. The switch with least switch ID will become master switch and the
others become slave. If master switch is fail or disconnected to the switch by stack port,
the switch with least switch ID will become master.
Every device in the management stack should have a unique “Switch ID”. In the
meanwhile, a “Switch ID” which has been using by a device, reused by another, the
management stack will fail.
Reset button
At the middle of front panel, the reset button is designed for reboot the switch without turn
off and on the power.
VDSL ports
There are 16 VDSL ports within 1 RJ-21 connector on the front panel.
The VDSL supports 5 selective transmission modes that operate in different band
allocation and result in different upstream and downstream bandwidth. 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.
The following is the summary table of transmission modes, bandwidth and distance
extensibility tested for AWG 24 (0.5mm) twisted-pair without noise and cross talk.

Wiring for VDSL ports
The VDSL port of VC-1602 uses one RJ-21 (Telco 50) connector to connect up to 16
VDSL converters (VC-102S, VC-101S or Cisco LRE modem) through structured or
unstructured wiring, such as existing telephone lines. The link between the VDSL switch
port and each converter can reach speeds of up to 15/17 Mbps over distances of up to
5000 feet (1500 meters). You can hot swap the VDSL converters without powering down
the switch or disrupting the other switch ports.
If telephone services, such as voice or an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), use
the same cabling as VDSL traffic, the VDSL port must be connected to the patch panel
through a plain old telephone service (POTS) splitter. The splitter routes VDSL data
(high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) traffic from the telephone line to the switch
and private branch exchange (PBX) switch or public switched telephone network (PSTN).
