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. 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

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

VC-412 User’s Manual

application. Subsequently, configure the terminal application settings with following variables:

Baud Rate Data Bits Parity Stop Bits

19200bps 8 None 1 None

low Control

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:

Select Management Configuration option from the Main Menu.

Select System Configuration option from the Submenu.

Select IP Address option.

Enter valid IP address.

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.

Once you have assigned a valid IP address to the Switch, proceed to chapter 4 for an explanation of the menu systems and commands.

VC-412 User’s Manual

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.
