The 4-BAND VDSL CO MODEM works as Ethernet to/from VDSL subscriber-site conversion bridge. The 4-BAND VDSL CO MODEM
uses QAM-based 4-band VDSL technology which supports max distance of 1.9km (6333ft) at 5M/5M or 1.3km (4333ft) at 15M/15M, or
800m (2666ft) at 25M/25M symmetrical data service. The 4-BAND VDSL CPE MODEM also works with 4-BAND 8ports & 24ports VDSL
IP DSLAM, together to form a cost-effective solution for services such as remote lecturing, telemedicine, video conferencing,
Video-on-Demand (VOD), IP-TV, Internet access and various high-speed data applications.
The front-panel provides LED indications of system and interface status. The built-in POTS/ISDN splitter allows a standard POTS
phone or ISDN device to be connected. Full or half-duplex mode of LAN operations is automatically sensed and configured. VDSL link
rates are configured by local Modem or IP DSLAM over auto speed or fix speed function.
Therefore, 4-BAND VDSL CO MODEM supports plug & play operations on the subscriber-site and can do auto and manual selection of
the data speed. An ideal solution for delivering cost-effective, high-performance broadband/multimedia services to Multi-Dwelling Units
(MDU) and Multi-Tenant Units (MTU) such as hotels, campuses, hospitals environments.

General Rules
Before making any connections to the modem, please note the following rules:
zEthernet port (RJ-45)
All network connections to the modem Ethernet port must be made using Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps; Category 3 and 4 UTP
for 10Mbps.
No more than 100 meters of cabling may be use between the MUX and HUB and an end node.
zVDSL port (RJ-11)
All home network connections to the RJ-11 port must use 24-26 gauge phone wiring.
zWe do not recommend using 28 gauge or above phone line.
Connecting the Modem
The Modem has one Ethernet port which supports 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 Modem to an RJ-45 port on the other device.
The RJ11 Line port is used to connect to the wall RJ-11 modular socket (outlet) which is connect to VDSL 4-Band CPE Modem side
(Point to point solution).
The RJ11 Phone port of the Modem can connected to a telephone and a computer sharing one telephone wire for making calls and
accessing the Internet at the same time.

Connecting the RJ-11/RJ-45 Ports
The Modem’s RJ-11 ports support max distance 1.9km at 5M/5M or maximum speed at 25M/25M symmetrical and distances up to
800m data service across existing phone wiring without interfering with standard voice transmissions, easy-to-use does not require
the installation of any additional wiring. Every RJ-11 modular phone jack in the home can become a port on the LAN. Networking
devices can be installed on a single telephone wire that can span within 1.9km or 800m (depend on speed) between the two
farthest points. As shown in Figure 1.

z4-BAND VDSL CO MODEM has embedded splitter between every VDSL side (Line) and POTS (Phone) side. It permits you to
deliver broadband service on the same lines as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), PBX, ISDN traffic and VDSL Signal.
zThe RJ-11 port support 1.9km maximum distance at 5M/5M or maximum speed at 25M/25M symmetrical with distance up to
800m data service. When inserting a RJ-11 plug, make sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly
seated.
zDo not plug a RJ-11 phone jack connector into the Ethernet port (RJ-45 port). This may damage the modem. Instead, use only
twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to Ethernet standard.
Note:
zMake sure each twisted pair cable (RJ-45) does not exceed 100 meters (333 feet).
zRJ-11 port should use 24 ~ 26 gauge phone wiring and we do not recommend 28 gauge or above phone wiring.
zWe advise using Category 3, 4, 5 cables for cable modem or router connections to avoid any confusion or inconvenience in the
future upgrade.
zBe sure phone cable has been installed before 4-BAND VDSL CO MODEM and 4-BAND VDSL CPE MODEM powered on.

4. Firmware Description
Auto and manual data speed selector description:
4-Band VDSL CO modem is a 4 band VDSL solution which supports real plug & play and can do auto and manual selection of the
data speed, the setting of the data speed depends on the phone cable limit, they can support 5M/15M/25M symmetrical data service
but depends on installation environment. If 4-Band VDSL CO modem try to link at the data speed of 25Mbps but fails to do so, then
4-Band VDSL CO modem data speed must be lower due to the limitation of the phone cable length. If the cable length is unsure,
then auto selection of the data speed at the default setting is recommended. Power must be unplug before changing of data speed,
then power on and wait for VDSL to link again at the correct data speed function.
Speed mode limitation:
5M/5M mode within 1.9km (6333ft)
15M/15M mode within 1.3km (4333ft)
25M/25M mode within 800m (2666ft)
Note: We recommend that phone cable must meet CAT 3 standard or above and without clustering, otherwise the above
guarantee will be void.
Engineering Functions:
These functions is for maintaining and troubleshooting such as firmware upgrade, command line, SNR indicator, Ethernet and VDSL
port setting and status monitor and so on, which will be described in engineering manual.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting
Diagnosing the Modem’s Indicators
The Modem can be easily monitored through its comprehensive panel indicators. These indicators assist the network manager in
identifying problems the hub may encounter. This section describes common problems you may encounter and possible solutions.
1.Symptom: Power indicator does not light up (green) after power on.
Cause: Defective External power supply.
Solution: Check the power plug by plugging in another that is functioning properly. Check the power cord with another device. If these
measures fail to resolve the problem, have the unit power supply replaced by a qualified distributor.
2.Symptom: Link indicator does not light up (green) after making a connection.
Cause: Network interface (e.g. a network adapter card on the attached device), network cable, or switch port is defective.
Solution:
2.1 Power off and re- power on the VDSL Modem.
2.2 Verify that the switch and attached device are powered on.
2.3 Be sure the cable is plugged into both the switch and corresponding device.
2.4 Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits.
2.5 Check the Modem on the attached device and cable connections for possible defects.
2.6 Make sure phone wire must be connected between 4-BAND VDSL CO Modem and 4-BAND VDSL CPE Modem first,
when both are to be power on.
2.7 Replace the defective Modem or cable if necessary.
3.Symptom: VDSL Link cannot be established.
Cause: VDSL auto speed failure or phone cable length is over specification with the limit of 1.9km or not a 24 gauge phone wire with
twisted pair.
Solution:
3.1 Please make sure phone wire must be connected between 4-BAND VDSL CO Modem and 4-BAND VDSL CPE Modem

4-Band VDSL CO/CPE MODEM USER’S MANUAL Ver. A.2
20
when both are power on. 4-BAND VDSL CO Modem will do auto speed function depending on phone wire length, therefore if
4-BAND VDSL CO Modem can’t detect 4-BAND VDSL CPE Modem over phone wire while both power on, this will cause the
linktofail.
3.2 Please check phone cable must be 24 gauge with twist pair and without rust, and the length is not over 1.9km.
Note: Phone cable must meet Cat 3 standard or above and without clustering, otherwise will cause more cross talk issue to
reduce DSL power driver.
4. Symptom: VDSL speed mode LED is always flashing.
Cause: VDSL speed mode link is at the limit of phone cable length.
Solution: Please change speed mode through Dip switch.
5. Symptom: We tested with a regular S0 bus from an NTBA - data works, but ISDN telephone does not.
Solution: You must connect according to the following chart if you want to connect CO and CPE with NTBA.
