RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
Class B Digital Device. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B computing device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
telephone reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables and power cords are required to
connect this device to a personal computer or other Class B certified device.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emission from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de classe B prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage

CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
2.1 Overview
The Network Extenders convert either SDSL (Symmetrical Digital Subscriber
Line) or IDSL (ISDN Digital Subscriber Line) to Ethernet. This is a Layer 1
conversion, and Ethernet frames are then passed across the SDSL or IDSL link.
Each model’s function is described below.
• The LR0005A-KIT includes one Provider unit and one Subscriber unit, to
make one individual SDSL-to-Ethernet line.
• The LR0006A-AC/DC is a 12-port Provider unit with 12 individual SDSL-to-
Ethernet ports to which you can attach 12 Subscriber units. No bridging or
routing is done internally.
• The LR0007A is a single SDSL-to-Ethernet Subscriber unit.
• The LR0010A-KIT includes one Provider unit and one Subscriber unit, to
make one individual IDSL-to-Ethernet line.
• The LR0011A-AC/DC is a 12-port Provider unit with 12 individual IDSL-to-
Ethernet ports to which you can attach 12 Subscriber units. No bridging or
routing is done internally.
• The LR0012A is a single IDSL-to-Ethernet Subscriber unit.
The connection across the SDSL line may be at 272, 528, or 728 kbps or 1.168
Mbps in both directions. Connection across the IDSL line may either 144 or 128
kbps. Speed is selectable and determined by the Provider unit; the remote
Subscriber unit will determine its line speed through communication with the
Provider unit.
SDSL/IDSL technology is intended for use from the telephone company central
office across the local loop to the home or business, or may also be used in
multiple-dwelling-unit environments to provide high-speed, long-reach data service
over phone-grade copper cable up to 18,000 feet (5486 m). Distance is determined
by speed selection and cable grade.
The typical application for IDSL or SDSL technology is high-speed Internet access
or remote LAN access.

IDSL AND SDSL NETWORK EXTENDERS
2.2 Features
•Traffic Indicators — All units feature an LED that will steadily pulse (once per
second) when the SDSL or IDSL connection is operational and the unit is
receiving valid data packets or status packets from the SDSL or IDSL Network
Extender on the remote side of the link.
•Link Down Notification — Allows for alarm notification for the SDSL or IDSL
link to the Ethernet device to which the Provider unit is connected.
•Broadcast Limiting (IDSL and SDSL Subscriber Units Only) —Ensures that pure
broadcast traffic will only be allowed to consume up to 20% of the total SDSL
or IDSL bandwidth. Unicast and multicast traffic are guaranteed at least 80%
of the total SDSL or IDSL bandwidth.
•Local Traffic Filtering (IDSL and SDSL Provider and Subscriber Units) —The
units will build a database up to 255 MAC addresses and will provide traffic
filtering based on the learned MAC addresses. MAC addresses are learned
based on the Source Address of the Ethernet packets, and are filtered based
on the Destination Address of the Ethernet packets. Addresses are removed
from the filtering database if the unit does not receive traffic from that Source
for a 5-minute period, but are relearned once the unit receives packets from
that Source Address.
2.3 Selecting IDSL Bandwidth
For LR0010A-KIT, LR0011A-AC/DC, and LR0012A, Switch #2 on the Provider
Unit’s front panel controls the IDSL bandwidth. (Switch #1 is not used.)
If Switch 2 is in the up position, the IDSL connection will provide 128-kbps
symmetrical bandwidth. If Switch 2 is in the down position, the IDSL connection
will provide 144-kbps symmetrical bandwidth. There is no switch on the Subscriber
Unit; it will determine its speed through communication with the Provider Unit.
