SECTION ONE XLR 500 OVERVIEW
1.1. XLR as a LAN Bridge
The XLR 550 enables LAN segments to simply connect to each other at Layer 2 over 2, 4 or 8 copper
wires, with data rates up to 5.7Mbps per pair. Thus, all kinds of protocols (TCP/IP, IPv6, IPX, NETBEUI
etc) which use Ethernet Frame can be passed over the link as well as passing various tagged VLAN
frames in each direction. The diagram below shows a simple example of the XLR being used to provide a
LAN extension
1.2. XLR 500 Used as part of an access system
The XLR 550 may also be used in conjunction with the Case XLR 5000 Cardframe, which can act as a
concentration point, providing 10/100/1000 Mbps back hauls to.
1.3. Description of the XLR 500
The XLR 500, 2BASE-TL EFM EDD (Ethernet Demarcation Device), extends the reach of
Ethernet services to sites with no access to fibre, using bonded copper pairs. Designed using
standards-based EFM technology (2BASE-TL), the XLR 500 series cost-effectively allows
service providers and enterprises to deliver Ethernet services with symmetrical bandwidth at
rates up to 22.8 Mbps.

SECTION 2 XLR 550 HARDWARE MANUAL
2.0. Introduction
This document provides the procedures for installing the Case Communications’ XLR 500 series.
2.1. Model Numbering Scheme
The XLR can be supplied in multiple different models, 2 wire, 4 wire, 8 wires, with VLAN and QoS and
a version without QoS and VLAN and AC and DC powered. The most common selling model is the XLR
554 which is a 4 pair 22Mbps unit with Quality of Service and VLAN support. The 554 may also be
supplied with an internal power supply or an external 5 v dc power supply in line unit.
2.2. XLR 500 Appearance
Figure 1-1 below shows the two XLR models the XLR5xxA and XLR 5xx. Note that the XLR 5xx uses
an external PSU unit which provides 5 volts to the XLR 5xx, while the XLR 5xxA uses a direct feed of
230 vac.
2.3. Front Panel Features
Figure 2-1 shows the front panels of XLR5xxA and XLR5xx. In addition, it describes each of the
part’s, allowing the user to identify the component parts of the XLR 500.

2.4. Power Connector, Power Status LED and Reset Button
2.4.1. Type of Power Supply ( XLR 5xxA, XLR 5xx )
The XLR 5xxA uses AC power. Connect +100 ~ +240V AC to the connector of XLR 5xxA using a
power cord enables it power the unit on. The XLR 5xx uses a DC adapter which supplies 5V DC 3A. The
difference in power inputs makes the two products easily identifiable.
2.4.2. Power Status LED
This LED shows the status of power supply. Table 2-1 summarizes the indication of the LED.

2.4.3. Reset Button
This is a button to reset the system. With a pointed tool, such as a ball-pen, users may reach
the button. The system may be reset, once the user clicks the button. Added to this, if user
keeps pressing the button until all the 2BASE-TL LEDs blink five times, the system restores to
the manufacturing configuration

2.5. Console Part
For local management and configuration connect a maintenance terminal (for example, PC), to
the XLR 500. The Interface is an RS-232 interface provided via an RJ-45 female connector.
Figure 2-2 shows the pin assignments for the console port.

Revision 1.3a Page 5
2.6. LAN Port Part (10/100BASE-T)
The XLR 500 connects to a network device, such as an Ethernet switch, through their 10/100
Mbps Ethernet ports. The XLR 500 ports provide RJ-45 female connector’s so they can be
connected using a UTP cable with two RJ-45 jacks for the connection.
In addition, each Ethernet port has 2 LEDs so that user can be aware of the Ethernet ports
connectivity. One is for link status and RX status, the other for TX status.
Table 2-3 A below provides a summary of the ports LEDs and 2.3B of the pin outs.
The LAN port supports 10/100Mbps speed on the UTP cable at a distance of up to 100 meters
or less. Figure 2-3 lists the pin-outs for the LAN port connector (labeled "10/100BASE-T" ).
