1.2 Ethernet over VDSL2 Bridge Description
Antaira’s state-of-the-art Ethernet-over-VDSL2 products are
based on two core networking technologies: Ethernet and
VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). This
technology offers the absolute fastest possible data transmission
speeds over existing copper telephone lines or coaxial cables
without the need for rewiring.
The EVC-3001 / EVC-3010 Converter has a switching architecture
with RJ-45 10/100Mbps Ethernet port and one asymmetric
or symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (Asymmetric means
upstream and downstream rate are not the same and Symmetric
means upstream and downstream rate are similar) – the VDSL
port can be RJ-11 connector (EVC-3001) or BNC Connector
(EVC-3010). The EVC-3001 / EVC-3010 can be set to Central
Ofce (CO) or Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) mode via
a DIP switch. The performance of EVC-3001 (RJ11) will up to
100/55Mbps for asymmetric data rate within 200m and up to

7
25/4Mbps for asymmetric data rate at 1.6km. The performance
of EVC-3010 (BNC) is up to 100/65Mbps for asymmetric data
rate within 200m and up to 25/5Mbps for asymmetric data rate
at 3.0km. This capability is ideal for use as an Ethernet extender
for the existing Ethernet network.
Antaira VDSL2 Converter provides a much cost effective
replacement and smooth migration for existing Long Reach
Ethernet (LRE) networks.
The cable specications of the connection are listed as following:
10Base-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTPl
100Base-TX, Category 5, 5e or 6 UTPl
Ethernet over VDSL2, Twisted-pair telephone wiresl
Ethernet over VDSL2, Coaxial cablel
The two drawings pictures are typical application for the Ethernet
over VDSL2 Converter.
Note
Slave device (CPE) must connect to Master device
(CO) through the telephone wire or coaxial cable.
It is not allow connecting like Master to Master
or Slave to Slave. To define the EVC-3001 /
EVC-3010 to CO or CPE, please refer to section
2.2.1 for more detail.

2.Hardware Description
EVC-3001l
The EVC-3001 provides 2 RJ-11 ports for voice connection (like
telephone) and for network line connection.
EVC-3010l
The EVC-3010 provides 1 BNC connector and supports 50 or 75
ohm cable with distance up to 3.0km.
The EVC-3001 / EVC-3010 provide 1 RJ-45 port with two
different running speeds: 10Mbps and 100Mbps. It will
distinguish the speed of incoming connection automatically.
This section describes the hardware features of the Ethernet
over VDSL2 Converter. For easier control of the converter,
familiarize yourself with its display indicators and ports. Front
panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators.
Before connecting any network device to the converter, read this
chapter carefully.

2.2.1 DIP Switch Mode
The Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter provides 4 selective
transmission modes. By switching the transmission modes,
user can obtain a best transmission mode to suit with phone
line quality or distance of connectivity. The following is the

17
summary table of transmission setting; bandwidth and distance
extensibility tested for AWG 24 (0.5mm) twisted-pair without
noise and cross talk.
DIP-1 DIP-2 DIP-3 DIP-4
Mode Channel Band Plan SNR
OFF CO Interleave Symm 9db
ON (default) CPE Fast Asymm 6db
CO / CPEn
◊ CO (Central Ofce) – the Master device mode, usually
the CO device will be located at the data center of ISP or
enterprise to link to the backbone.
◊ CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) – the Slave device
mode, usually the CPE device will be located at branch
ofce, home or remote side as the long reach data
receiver. The CPE can be connected to the PC, IP Camera
or Wireless Access Point and etc network devices.
Note
When the Ethernet Over VDSL2 Converter operate
at CPE mode, the DIP switch 2,3,4 is no function.
Fast and Interleave Moden
◊ Fast mode guarantees a minimum end to end latency less
than 1 ms.
◊ Interleaved mode provides impulse noises protection with
a duration less than 250 us. Interleaved mode has a
maximum end to end latency of 10m sec.
Band Plann
◊ User can switch the Band Plan either Symmetric or Asym-

18
metric by their own. When Symmetric is selected that
provides better upstream performance, when Asymmetric
is selected that provides better downstream performance.
Refer to table above for details.
Target SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) Marginn
◊ When xed SNR margin is selected, the system will main-
tain the SNR margin at 9 dB across all usable loop length.
Note
By default setting, the four DIP switch at “ON”
position and operate as “CPE”. For operate as
“CO”, please adjust the DIP 1 switch to “OFF”
position. Adjust other DIP switch setting to fill
different network application demand.
Please power off the Ethernet Over VDSL2 Converter before
making any transmission mode adjustment.
2.2.2 DC Power Jack
EVC-3001 / 3010 require 5V DC power input. It will conform to
the bundled AC adapter.
Note
1. The device is a power-required device, it
means, it will not work till it is powered. If
your networks should active all the time, please
consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power
Supply) for your device. It will prevent network
data loss or network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect the Ethernet
Over VDSL2 Converter from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Ethernet
over VDSL2 Converter or the power adapter.

3.Installation
3.1 Install Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter
The Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter does not require any
software conguration. Users can immediately use any feature
of this product simply by attached the cables and plug power
on. There is some key limitation on the Ethernet over VDSL2
Converter. Please check the following items:
nEVC-3001: The device is used for Point-to-Point connec-
tion only (Master device to Slave device) and has equipped
with 2 RJ-11 connectors for VDSL port. One for voice device
connection (like telephone) and the other one for network link
connection.
Depending on the quality of telephone line, the maximum
distance of one VDSL segment is 1.6km (5250ft) with AWG
24 telephone wires.
nEVC-3010: 1 BNC connector and supports 50 or 75 ohm
cable. Depending on the quality of coaxial cable, the
maximum distance of one VDSL segment is 3.0km (9842ft)
with 5C coaxial cable.
The distance will change by the quality of telephone wires and
coaxial cables.

3.1 EVC-3001 / EVC-3010 LAN to LAN Connection
Two sets of the Ethernet over VDSL2 Converters could be used
to link two local Area networks that are located in different
place. Through the normal telephone line, it could setup a
100/55Mbps asymmetric backbone, but one Ethernet over
VDSL2 Converter must be Master (CO mode) and the other one
is Slave (CPE mode).
