GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing this GDI Communications LLC. product. The XC-RP300 repeater is
an ideal way to extend a VDSL connection and add Ethernet access. No special wiring or
networking knowledge required. The XC-RP300 allows you to connect LANs over more than
12,000 feet of inexpensive, twisted copper pair wire, thereby breaking the 300 foot Ethernet
distance barrier. Thus, using the LT 300 and up to two XC-RP300’s a LAN can be extended over
12,000 feet. This solution provides reliable high-speed data communication in the
harshest operating environments. It can also operate in uncontrolled outside plant environments
such as in remote terminals or curb-side distribution vaults.
Designed to operate in the harshest environments, the -RP300 has an extended temperature
range of - 37°C to +74°C, in non-condensing humidity of up to 95%. The XC-RP300 can be
installed at altitudes of up to 10,000 feet.
An XC-RP300 repeater working together with an XC-SLT1000 switch or XC-LT300 and XC-NT
300 point-to-point link can extend high-speed communications by multiple links of over
12,000 feet. POTS/ISDN calls can be made over the VDSL link without data disturbance.
This manual has been designed to help you to install your XC-RP300 repeater. Just follow the
step- by-step installation instructions outlined in section titled - Installation.

APPLICATIONS
The GDI Communications XC-RP300 provides high-speed Ethernet connection between LANs,
remote PC’s or any other network enabled 10/100BaseT/TX device. Typical point-to-point
operation consists of an XC-LT300 located at one end of the LAN extension and an XC-NT300
located at the other end. Data is passed transparently such that the remote LAN appears to be
co-located with the local network. The two networks can be separated by up to 4,000 feet.
The XC-RP300 extends that distance by an additional 4,000 feet. The XC-RP300 offers up to
three local Ethernet access ports allowing Ethernet devices to be attached as “drop offs” at the
midpoint of the link. By adding another XC-RP300 the distance between the end points can be
extended an additional 4,000 feet. Figure 1 shows a typical application.
Figure 1.
Typical application
The XC-NT300 is well suited to surveillance applications where cameras with digital output
capability are placed in strategic locations for observation. The information from the camera can
be transmitted to a central collection point. Having the ability to pass voice communication along
with high-speed data permits camera positioning information to be sent without interfering with
the data. Using an XC-RP300 allows the cameras to placed an additional 4,000 feet from the
central collection point. Figure 2 shows a camera application

INSTALLATION
Since basic XC-RP300 setup requires no configuration, it can be installed and made operational
quickly. Installation takes place as follows:
1. Connect the VDSL line interface between the units (refer to section titled, “Connecting the
VDSL Line Interface” on page 4). See Figure 3 for rear panel connector arrangements.
2. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section titled, “Connecting the Switch (Ethernet)
Interface” on page 5).
3. Connect the POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) interface to a telephone or telephone line
(refer to the section titled “Connecting the POTS/ISDN line” on page 6)
4. Connect the power plug (refer to section titled, “Connecting Power” on page 6).

CONNECTING TO THE VDSL LINE INTERFACE
The XC-RP300 supports two VDSL connections. Each VDSL connection supports
communication over distances of up to 4,000 ft (1,219 m) using 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair
wire. Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on the environment and type
or gauge of wire used.
Follow the steps below to connect the XC-RP300 VDSL Interfaces;
The XC-RP300 has two VDSL connections: a primary and a secondary. The Primary (Pri) is an
NT type interface. The Secondary (Sec) is an LT type link. The primary connection terminates
the VDSL link to a LT or VDSL Switch. The secondary connection forwards the high-speed
connection to a NT type connection that can be an NT 300 or the Primary on another XC-
RP300.
To function properly, the units must be connected together using twisted-pair, unconditioned,
metal wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through signal
equalization equipment are not acceptable. The interface is bipolar making the TIP and RING
connection insensitive to polarity.
TESTING NOTE: The XC-RP300 can be bench tested by connecting the Primary VDSL port to the
Secondary VDSL port using at least 100 feet of telephone cable. An attenuator can be used in
place of the 100 foot cable. Contact GDI Communications for availability.

CONNECTING THE SWITCH (ETHERNET) INTERFACE
There are three RJ-45 ports on the front of the XC-RP300 labeled “Switch”. These are
10/100BaseT/TX Ethernet interfaces. These ports are designed to connect directly to a
10/100BaseT/TX network. The interface has the ability to detect whether the connection is DCE
or DTE and will automatically configure the interface to support the connected equipment. This
automatic process is known as MDI /MDX detection. Typical connections are depicted in
figures 5 and 6 below. You may connect these ports to other Ethernet devices via a Cat 5 cable
that is up to 150m/328ft long.

CONNECTING THE TELEPHONE (POTS/ISDN) LINE
The RJ 11 port labeled “PHONE” is the TELEPHONE or POTS/ISDN interface. A telephone or
an ISDN device may be connected to this port and carried over the VDSL line. The XC-RP300
does not need to be powered up for the POTS interface to work. The RJ 11 connector in the XC-
RP300 PHONE interface is wired as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7.
XC-RP300 PHONE (RJ 11, POTS/ISDN) interface
CONNECTING POWER
There are two power options available for the XC-RP300. The XC-RP300 is equipped with a
power jack to accept external power.
The XC-RP300 is supplied with an external AC cube style power supply. Power to the XC-
RP300 is connected using the barrel jack on the rear panel. No configuration is necessary at the
power supply. DC power must be regulated +5VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. The jack on the rear
panel is center pin +5V, outer ring Ground (See figure 8 below). The Plug should be a barrel
type plug with the following dimensions, 2.5/5.5/10mm (I.D./O.D./Shaft Length). The XC-RP300
does not have a power switch; it powers up as soon as it is properly plugged to the power
source.

CONNECTING TO THE MANAGEMENT CONSOLE
Access to the management interface is through a rear panel, seven (7) pin mini DIN connector
“ref: Tyco 1445721-1 AMP/Tyco Micro CPC”. An adaptor cable is required to convert the mini
DIN connector to a typical 9-pin serial port connector on a PC. Figure 9 shows the pin
assignments for the console connector. The converter cable is described in figure 10. Contact
GDI Communications for availability.
The small switch located next to the console connector allows the user to connect to either the
Primary (PRI) or the Secondary (SEC) management port.

MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
The 10BaseS Manager provides a comfortable graphical user interface (GUI) to the registers of
10BaseS chipset. The GUI enables the user to change the configuration features as well as to
monitor the status of the VDSL modems.
It supports access of the remote modem via the VDSL Operating Channel (VOC) making
configuration very easy.
The possibility of writing register dumps to files is useful for easily storing different settings and
helpful for gaining a deeper understanding of the register structure. Via an integrated terminal,
the configuration process is visualized even on register level.
Optional Programming Protocol on the Serial Host Interface
The 10BaseS Manager accesses the modem through the console port on the XC-RP300. The
console port is a serial host interface. Therefore, a simple ASCII protocol has been implemented
to access the internal control unit.
Please note that use of this programming protocol is
completely optional and is by no means required for robust configuration and operation.
Table 4
shows the supported commands.
Opcode Field 1 Field 2 Notes
WR Address Data Write data to address
RD Address Data Read data from address
OR Address Data OR data with data @ address

ND 8C25 FE
Setting bit 1 at address 0x8C25:
OR 8C25 02
The XC-RP300 uses a prompt (L > ) to indicate to the user that it is ready for communication. The
programmer may perform a Write (WR) to an address, request a Read (RD) of that address and
then view the value given back. A standard sequence will look like the following:
10BaseS-D B3.0 LT-E2-FF
L> WR 8C00 20
L> RD 8C00
8C00: 20
L>
12

VOC channel access
The remote modem can be accessed via the VDSL operating channel (VOC).
Therefore, the VDSL Manager User’s Manual has special VOC registers, which have to be
used.
The VOC protocol consists of following steps:
1. Check MS_TXCMD register.
The MS_TXCMD register has to equal zero, which indicates that the internal processor is
ready for a new VOC operation.
2. Write appropriate data to the VOC message registers.
The VOC registers have to be loaded with the appropriate VOC message. The message
characteristics contain the address of the remote register, data to write to the remote register
(if required), number of bytes to transfer and the message ID.
3. The VOC operation has to be started by loading the MS_TXCMD register with the
appropriate command (e.g. read or write). Once the internal processor sees a change in the
MS_TXCMD register, it sends the message over the VDSL link via the VOC.
4. Poll MS_RXSTAT register for message acknowledge. The message status register
MS_RXSTAT has to be monitored in order to check for acknowledge and type of received
messages.
This protocol is implemented in the VDSL Manager for accessing the remote modem. For more
detailed information please refer to the VDSL Modem User’s Manual data sheet.
