GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing this GDI Communications LLC. product. The XC-
NT200 provides reliable, high-speed, Internet access to your existing phone
line. There is no special wiring or special networking knowledge required. This
modem is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog
modem. Unlike the analog modem, the XC-NT200 allows you to use your
phone line for simultaneous voice/fax and high-speed communications, eliminating
the need for dedicated phone lines for voice and data communications. The XC-
NT200 provides reliable high-speed data communication in the harshest
operating environments. It can operate in uncontrolled environments such as
remote terminals or curb side distribution vaults. Installation is easy ... no tools ...
no headaches. Simply connect the hardware, apply power, and perform
the simple software configuration for your Modem.
Designed to operate in the harshest environments the XC-NT200H has an operating
temperature range of -37°C to +74°C, in non-condensing humidity of up to 95%.
It can be set up at altitudes of up to 10,000 feet.
This manual has been designed to enable you to install your XC-NT200 modem
by following the step-by-step installation procedure. Follow the step-by-step
installation instructions outlined in Section titled - Installation.
FEATURES
•Easy to install standalone ADSL modems— no configuration required
•Environmentally hardened for operation in harsh environments
•Auto-sensing full or half-duplex Ethernet
•Auto-sensing 10/100 operation
•Transparent operation
•LED indicators for Power, Ethernet Link & Activity, ADSL Sync

INSTALLATION
Because the XC-NT200 requires no configuration, it can be installed and made
operational quickly. Installation takes place as follows:
1. Connecting the ADSL line (refer to section titled, “Connecting the ADSL Line
Interface” on page 6) See Figure 4 for the rear panel connector arrangements.
2. Connecting the Ethernet interface (refer to section titled, “Connecting the LAN
(10/100Base-T) Ethernet Interface” on page 7).
3. Connecting the power plug (refer to section titled, “Connecting Power” on
page 8).

CONNECTING TO THE ADSL LINE INTERFACE
The XC-NT200 supports High-speed communications over 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-NT200 ADSL Interface to the DSL ready
telephone line. Connect a telephone phone cable from the DSL-equipped
telephone line jack to the jack marked ADSL on the rear panel of the modem.
To function properly, the XC-NT200 must be connected to the telephone line using
twisted-pair wire between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). The interface is
bipolar making the TIP and RING connection non-critical.
The diagram below shows the pin configuration of the ADSL jack on the XC-
NT200.

CONNECTING THE LAN (ETHERNET) INTERFACE
The RJ-45 port labeled “LAN” is the 10/100BaseT/TX interface. This port is
designed to connect directly to a 10/100BaseT/TX network. Figure 3 shows the
signal/pin relationships on this interface. You may connect this port to another
Ethernet device via a Cat 3 or Cat 5 cable that is up to 328 ft long.

Connecting the LAN (10/100BaseT/TX) Ethernet Port to a Hub
The XC-NT200 LAN interface is configured as DCE (Data Communications
Equipment), just like a 10/100BaseT/TX network hub or a switch. Therefore, it
"expects" to connect to a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device such as a PC
or a router. When connecting to a DTE it typically uses a straight through cable
as shown in figure 4 below.

CONNECTING POWER
An external AC cube style power supply is available. Power to the XC-NT200 is
connected using the barrel jack on the rear panel. No configuration is necessary
for the power supply. AC power supplied must meet the following requirements;
12VAC. The barrel type plug has a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length
dimensions. The XC-NT200 does not have a power switch, it powers up as soon
as it is plugged in.

OPERATION
Once the XC-NT200 is properly installed, the set should operate transparently.
No user settings are required. This section describes the LED status monitors.
POWER UP
Before applying power to the XC-NT200, please review section titled, “Connecting
Power” to verify that the unit is connected to the appropriate power source.
FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS
The XC-NT200 features four front panel LEDs that monitor power, the
Ethernet signals, and the ADSL Connection. Figure 5 shows the front panel
location of these displays. Table 1 describes the LED functions.
