Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L is a utility-grade serial device server and managed Ethernet switch supporting Ethernet
over VDSL (EoVDSL). The RUGGEDCOM RS910L can be configured with two serial ports (RS485/RS422/RS232) and/
or two Ethernet ports (copper of fiber).
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L can interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that have
different methods of communication.
EoVDSL supports LAN segments of up to 5 km (3.1 mi) over telephone grade cable (or other legacy serial cabling)
at up to 35 Mbps (upstream and downstream). It allows an Ethernet-enabled device to communicate with
a central control room using existing cabling. It is the perfect solution for bringing Ethernet networking to
applications where existing wiring is already present, thus saving the considerable cost of upgrading existing
legacy devices or installing new network cabling.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical
surges typical of environments found on plant floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating
temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class I Division
2), optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the RUGGEDCOM RS910L to be placed in
almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of cabinet space.
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC) for worldwide
operability, as well as dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 24 VDC and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high
availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System
(ROS) provides superior system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating
Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.

Copper Ethernet Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L supports multiple 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard
Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45 receptacles are
directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.
WARNING!
Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded
cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the
RJ45 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause excessive noise and interference, but more
importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury.
LEDs
Each port features a Speed and Link/Activity LED that indicates the state of the port.

EoVDSL Ports
Ethernet over VDSL (EoVDSL) connections operate in pairs with one device configured as the Master and the other
as the Slave. In VDSL (Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line), the terms Central Office (CO) or Line Termination
Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports 19
Page 30
Chapter 3
Communication Ports
Installation Guide
(LT) are used interchangeably for the Master, and the terms Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) or Network
Termination (NT) are used interchangeably for the Slave. All EoVDSL line configuration settings are modified on
the Master and pushed to the Slave. Data flowing from the Master to the Slave is designated downstream, while
data flowing from the Slave to the Master is designated upstream.
Siemens supports two types of EoVDSL:
• Universal EoVDSL
Universal EoVDSL ports are Master/Slave selectable and offer symmetric data rates (upstream and downstream)
up to 35 Mbps. They are best suited for higher throughput connections spanning distances up to 2.5 km (1.6
mi).
• Long-Reach EoVDSL
Long-Reach EoVDSL ports are fixed as either Master or Slave, but offer asymmetric data rates (upstream and
downstream) up to 40 Mbps. They are best suited for lower throughput connections spanning distances up to 5
km (3.1 mi).
Universal and Long-Reach EoVDSL ports are physically indistinguishable from each other. However, the port type
can be determined either from the order code or through the RUGGEDCOM ROS user interface.
EoVDSL ports can be connected using RJ11 male connectors.
IMPORTANT!
Universal and Long-Reach EoVDSL ports (master or slave) must be connected to EoVDSL ports (slave or
master) of the same type. Connection between Universal EoVDSL ports and Long-Reach EoVDSL ports
is not supported. While master/slave mode can be modified on Universal EoVDSL ports, the operating
mode of all Long-Reach EoVDSL ports is predetermined by hardware. As a result, master/slave mode
cannot be modified on Long-Reach EoVDSL ports.
RUGGEDCOM RS910L
LEDs
Each EoVDSL port has a Link/Act LED and a Master LED. On devices with Universal EoVDSL ports, the Master LED
can be toggled on or off depending on whether the port is set to be a Master or Slave. On devices with Long-Reach
EoVDSL ports, the Master LED will be on all the time if the device is set to be the Master, or off if the device is set
to be the Slave.

Section3.3.1
EoVDSL Wiring
VDSL operates over 2-wire Category 3 (CAT-3) or higher twisted-pair wiring. Other twisted-pair wiring with similar
characteristics may work, although the performance will vary depending on the cable characteristics and distance.
When wiring EoVDSL ports, note the following:
• EoVDSL ports are designed to be used on private communications lines for point-to-point connections and are
not to be connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only #26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
• Twisted-pairs are an effective way of reducing both magnetic and capacitive interference, as they reduce the
magnetic loop area to nearly zero and maintain a consistent distribution of capacitances to both ground and
other sources. Therefore, make sure twisting is consistent throughout the cable length.
• Open leads (also known as bridged taps or drop-lines) along the length of the cable will cause an impedance
mismatch and result in VDSL signal degradation.
• Make sure the cable impedance is consistent throughout the cable run. Avoid mixing different wiring (e.g.
wiring with different gages) in cable runs, as this will cause an impedance mismatch and result in VDSL signal
degradation.
• Make sure wiring is adequately separated between power and control circuits. Switching spikes and surges in
power and control circuits can couple noise onto the VDSL line, causing interruptions in communications.
• Lower speeds are less susceptible to interference and will transmit greater distances over the same wiring than
higher speeds. Use the minimum speed that will provide adequate data transfer speed.
Section3.3.2
Configuration and Setup
If the RUGGEDCOM RS910L and another device both have Universal EoVDSL ports, configure one device to be the
Master and the other the Slave. If both devices have a Long-Reach EoVDSL port, no Master/Slave configuration is
necessary, since the ports will already be fixed as Master or Slave.
EoVDSL Wiring 21
Page 32
Chapter 3
Communication Ports
Installation Guide
Once configured and connected together, each device will attempt to achieve the maximum speed based on the
line length and conditions. The RUGGEDCOM RS910L's Link/Act LED may flash on and off several times before
setting on a final link speed and declaring the port up.
For more information about configuring the RUGGEDCOM RS910L, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RS910L.
Section3.3.3
EoVDSL Performance
The following describes the behavior and performance characteristics of EoVDSL.
EoVDSL Modes
The EoVDSL port can be configured to operate in one of two modes:
• Auto Mode (default)
In Auto Mode, the device will step through the different speeds and automatically select the best bit-rate based
on the current line conditions.
• Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, the user can select one of the speed settings and the device will only attempt to attain the set
speed.
If the line conditions degrade (reducing the SNR or Signal to Noise Ratio), but the device is able to maintain
the link, an alarm will be triggered to notify the user of the reduced SNR. By configuring the Rescan Mode
parameter in RUGGEDCOM ROS, the user can control at which point the scan process will be restarted when the
line conditions degrade. If Link only is selected, the device will restart the scan process if the line conditions
degrade, such that the device is unable to maintain the current link. If Link or SNR is selected, the device will
restart the scan process if either the SNR has dropped below a pre-defined acceptable level or when the device is
unable to maintain the current link, or whichever comes first.
RUGGEDCOM RS910L
NOTE
If the Mode parameter is set to Manual Mode, the restart of the scan process will only attempt to
attain the set speed in manual mode.
For information about configuring EoVDSL, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM
RS910L.
NOTE
Assuming the distance can support the speed setting, the time to establish a link is typically 15 to 30
seconds.
