Chapter 1: Introduction
The PLANET VDSL2 Router, VC-200M / VC-200S is based on two core networking
technologies: Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line 2). This
technology offers the absolute fastest possible data transmission speeds over existing
copper telephone lines without the need for rewiring.
The ideal situation, the date rate of VDSL2 can up to 40Mbps upstream and 100Mbps
downstream.
The VC-200M / VC-200S supports ITU-T G993.2, and provide selectable operating
mode of bridging and routing.
Via the user-friendly management interface, VC-200M / VC-200S can be managed by
computer running standard web browsers. Furthermore, VC-200M / VC-200S provides
DHCP server, NAT, virtual server, DMZ, DNS proxy, and UPnP capability. It provides
the natural firewall function (Network Address Translation, NAT). All incoming and
outgoing IPs are monitored and filtered
VC-200M / VC-200S provide 4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch, it provide data deliver and
receive in local network, so that it is the best selection for small enterprise and
residence.
In the following section, unless specified, terms VDSL2 ROUTER will means the
VC-200M / VC-200S.
1.1 Feature
Internet Access Features
Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN can access the
Internet through the VDSL2 ROUTER using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
Built-in VDSL2 modem. The VDSL2 ROUTER provides VDSL2
modem, and supports all common VDSL2 connections.
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE. On the Internet (WAN
port) connection, the VDSL2 ROUTER supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet
servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
Firewall. Supports simple firewall with NAT technology.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) UPnP allows automatic discovery
and configuration of the Broadband Router. UPnP is supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.
Selectable VDSL2 transmission modes. User can choose
transmission modes (8a,8b,12a,12b,and 17a) through management interface on VDSL2 ROUTER
User Friendly Interface. VDSL2 ROUTER can be managed and
controlled through Web UI.
LAN Features
4-Port Switch. The VDSL2 ROUTER incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT
switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a
dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The VDSL2 ROUTER can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
This chapter offers information about installing your router. If you are not familiar with
the hardware or software parameters presented here, please consult your service
provider for the values needed.
2.1 System Requirement
1. Personal computer (PC)
2. Pentium II 233 MHz processor minimum
3. 32 MB RAM minimum
4. 20 MB of free disk space minimum
2.2 Hardware Installation
This section describes how to connect and configure VDSL2 ROUTER.
Power Adapter To PC/Hub To VDSL2/Phone Line
Step 1. Connect the VDSL2 Line
There are two ways to connect VC-200M or VC-2000S.
I. Connect the supplied RJ11 cable to VDSL2 ports between VC-200M and
VC-200S.
II. Uses the supplied RJ-11cable connects to VC-200M or VC-200S with your
phone company.
Step 2. Connect a Workstation to the Router's LAN port
Uses the supplied RJ-45 cable connects to PC with the Switching Hub port of VDSL2
ROUTER. Both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX connections can be used simultaneously.
If required, using a standard RJ-45 cable connect to any LAN port of VDSL2
ROUTER with a normal Hub.
Any LAN port of VDSL2 ROUTER will automatically function as an "Uplink" port
when required.
Step 3. Connect the Power Adapter to the Router
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled 12V DC on the rear panel of router.
Step 4. Connect All Cables to the Network
The procedure for connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your
telephone equipment is connected to a POTS splitter.

Chapter 3: Configuration
3.1 Determine your connection settings
Before you configure the router, you need to know the connection information
supplied by your VDSL2 service provider.
3.2 Connecting the VDSL2 Router to your network
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the VDSL2 Router consists of more than
simply plugging everything together. Because the Router acts as a DHCP server, you
will have to set some values within the Router, and also configure your networked
PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router chooses to assign them.
Generally there are several different operating modes for your applications. And you
can know which mode is necessary for your system. These modes are router, bridge.
3.3 Configuring with Web Browser
It is advisable to change the administrator password to safeguard the security of your
network.
1. To configure the router, open your browser, type http://192.168.1.100 for
VC-200M and http://192.168.1.200 for VC-200S in the browsers address box.
Save this address in your Favorites for future reference.
At login prompt will appear, and default password is “admin”, then click 'LOGIN'.
3.4 Quick Installation
There are two device modes: Bridge Mode and Router Mode can configure the
VC-200M and VC-200S when in different mode, displayed show as below.
Bridge Mode
Step1- Click “Bridge Mode” in VC-200M and VC-200S, and then press “APPLY” to
submit setting.
