1. Introduction
With the G.hn Bridge G4202T you can easily set up a local
network via existing telephone cables (2-wire). It is
compatible with G4201TM - both types can be combined in
a network as desired.
The modems can be used "point-to-point" as well as
"multipoint-to-multipoint" - up to 16 modems are possible
in the network.
The devices are also suitable for distributing fibre
connections from the ONT to the router via existing phone
line ("point-to-point").
The devices can use any type of cables - both twisted pair
and non-twisted pair - and achieve a speed of approx. 1500
Mbps. This bandwidth is shared between all connected
modems.
For "point-to-point" connections at distances above 100-150m and for
forwarding fiber optic connections from the ONT to the router in
apartment buildings, we recommend the G4202T modems in the
master/client configuration. In this case, 4-wire (MIMO) is also supported.
The G4202T modem can also be used in the client configuration on
manageable G.hn switches (G4200-4/8T, G4224T). This enables networks
with several hundred modems with very high total bandwidth and central
administration.

6. Variants of wiring
The G4202T Bridges can be connected "Point-to-Point" as well as "Star" and "In-line" via telephone cables:
"Point-to-Point"
"Star"
"In-line"
7. Connection type and wire assignment on device (RJ45 plug)
One wire pair is used for the G.hn connection (connection type SISO = G.hn profile "PHONE 200MHz").
8. Installation notes
The wires of a pair can be connected straight or crossed.
Maximum range of the G.hn connection depends on the cable type and the environment. Typical values for a 0.5 mm
twisted pair cable: connection possible up to approx. 600m, max. bandwidth of 1500 Mbit/s - up to approx. 100m.
The negotiated bandwidths to all connected G.hn bridges can be queried in web interface (see point 11).

9. Administration
10. IP address
The devices do not require IP addresses from the local network segment during operation, because they transmit the data
traffic via the MAC addresses. In the factory setting, they do not obtain any addresses from the local DHCP server.
If desired, static IP addresses can be configured or the DHCP client can be activated ("IP" menu in the web interface).
11. Query of the negotiated bandwidth
The bandwidths negotiated to all connected G.hn bridges can be queried via web interface. The values shown are gross
data transfer rates at the physical layer (PHY). The transfer rate on the application layer is approx. 15-20% lower.
IP-Adress: 192.168.10.253. Login passwort: paterna
Login via Webinterface
Connect your computer to the G.hn modem via the GE port.
Assign a fixed IP address to your computer, e.g.
192.168.10.100 (network mask 255.255.255.0).
Open a web browser and connect to 192.168.10.253
Login with the standard password: paterna

12. VLAN usage in the network
The devices support VLANs according to 802.1Q standard.
The VLAN tags are forwarded transparently by default. External Ethernet switches can be used to manage VLANs.
13. Multicast IP TV
14. Guarantee
We provide a 24-month warranty on all products purchased from us. You can find complete warranty conditions at
