VDSL Point to Point Solution
The VDSL (Very High Data Rate DSL) networking solution delivers
cost-effective, high-performance broadband access to multiunit buildings
(hotels, apartment, and multi-tenant unit office buildings) and enterprise
campus environments such as manufacturing, educational campuses, and
medical facilities. VDSL technology dramatically extends Ethernet over
existing Category 1/2/3 wiring at speeds 10Mbps (full duplex) and distances
up to 1200 meters. The VDSL technology delivers broadband service on
the same lines as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), digital telephone,
and ISDN system. In addition, VDSL supports modes compatible with
asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), allowing service providers to
provision VDSL to buildings where broadband services already exist.
The VDSL solution includes VDSL Concentrator (VDSL switches)、VDSL
CO(Point to Point), and VDSL Converter for Customer Premise Equipment
(CPE) device.
The VDSL solution delivers everything needed to quickly deploy an
Ethernet-based network with the performance required to deliver
high-speed Internet access at much greater distances and drive services
like IP telephony and audio/video streaming. With this technology, a broad
range of customers can benefit from lower operating costs and rapid
deployment. This solution provides a RS-232C console port for monitoring
VDSL status and to configure speed.
This device is a CO side solution, and bridge between external Internet
backbone through a router for IP sharing and the building 110D telephone
rack or telephone box. It utilizes the available telephone wire to enable
high-speed Internet access to building residents.
VDSL converter uses the phone line networking technology endorsed by
the VDSL, and utilizes the already existing telephone wire to deliver 4/1,
5/10/15 Mbps Internet access on each RJ-11 port.
This gives users a low-cost, end-to-end solution and eliminates the need to
train installation teams on multiple systems.

Foreword
This is an Ethernet to VDSL CO side adapter that enables high speed
internet access to building residents, campuses students and hotel guests
by connecting Ehternet equipped computers, set-top box or any internet
access device to the existing telephone wires.
The VDSL converter uses the phoneline networking technology endorsed
by the VDSL, an association of industry-leading companies for
in – networking focus on the existing telephone wire.
The Converter utilizes the already existing telephone wire to deliver
10Mbps internet access with no interference on the existing telephone
service. It allows user to make calls while access the internet on the
same wire simultaneously. It even allows staying connected 24 hours on
internet connections, thus, eliminating dial up prior to internet access.
The Converter is simple to install and use. One RJ-45 Ethernet connects
to a Router, Ethernet Switch or to LAN card. The RJ11 ports available to
connect to any existing modular phone jack.
There are two RJ-11 jack on the Converter to provide a phone extensions.

General Rules
Before making any connections to the converter, note the following rules:
 Ethernet Port (RJ-45)
All network connections to the Converter Ethernet port must be
made using Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps; Category 3,4 UTP for
10Mbps
No more than 100 meters of cabling may be use between the MUX
or HUB and an end node.
 VDSL Port (RJ-11)
All Home network connections to the RJ-11Port made using 24~26
Gauge phone wiring.
 We do not recommend using 28 Gauge or above phone line.
Connecting the Converter
The converter has one Ethernet port which support connection to
Ethernet operation. The devices attached to these ports must support
auto-negotiation or 10Base-T OR 100Base-TX unless they will always
operate at half duplex.
Use any of the Ethernet ports to connect to devices such as NIC,
Switch, bridge or router. You can also connect to another compatible
converter to an RJ-45 port on the other device.
The RJ11 Line port are use to connect to the wall RJ-11 modular
socket which is connect to VDSL CPE converter side (Point to point
solution)
The RJ11 Phone port of the converter can connected to a telephone
and a computer sharing one telephone wire for making calls and
accessing the internet at the same time.

The status page shows the following values:
• SNR of Received Signal: The SNR of the received signal is calculated
from the parameters found in the PMD layer. The SNR calculation depends
on the QAM constellation of the received signal.
Followings are the good SNR readings(db) for each of the standard
line rates in VDSL CO:
4/1M >=19db
5M >=25db
10M >=25db
15M >=37db
• Mean Square Error: The mean square error is an indication of the
symbol error rate. Its calculation depends on the QAM constellation and the
SNR of the received signal
• Corrected RS Error(s): This field gives the number of corrected Reed
Solomon errors per second. It is an indication of the bit error rate on the line
due to disturbers.
• Transmit Power: This field shows the actual transmitted power level. On
RT modems with PBO enabled this value may be different from the
minimum and maximum PSD level adjusted on the Link Configuration Page
• Full Constellation Link: Full constellation link is working and the modem
can transmit and receive data
• Reduced Constellation Link: The modem has synchronized in reduced
constellation(QAM4) only. In this state the VDSL Operating Channel (VOC)
is working and the VOC channel can be used to re-configure the link.
• TC Synchronized: Indicates that the transmission convergence layer (TC)
is synchronized. VDSL frame acquisition is working and the modem is in
SYNC state
