1. Introduction
With the G.hn modem set G4202T CP-RPF and G4202TCP
you caneasily expand your network and at the same time
supply the PoE/PoE+ compatible end devices (access points
s, IP camera as, IP phonee etc.) with power.
Both modems can be powered locally via a USB-C PD
power supply (max. 90W) or via the G.hn connection.
G4202TCP-RPF can also inject power into the G.hn
connection.
The modems can use any type of cable –both twisted-pair
and non-twisted-pair –for data and power transmission.
The bandwidth is up to 1500MBbit/s, the range up to
600m. Connected end devices are supplied with power via
another 100m long Ethernet cable according to the
802.3af/at standard.
The G4202TCP client can also be combined with a non-
PoX/PoE-capable G.hn master modem (such as G4201TM
or G4202T).
If there are multiple parallel connections via telephone
cables, the G4224 Master Switch must be used. It offers
automatic G.hn vectoring (VectorBoost) and central
administration of all G4202TCP clients.

5. Typical applications
Variant 1: G4202TCP-RPF Master + G4202TCP Client. Master draws power from the USB-C adapter, client - via G.hn link.
Variant 2: G4202TCP as client together with G4201TM master. G4202TCP draws power from the USB-C adapter.
Variant 3: G4202TCP as client on the G4224 switch. Each switch can power up to 24 clients, 4 of which are 90W.
6. G.hn Connection type and wire assignment on the device (RJ45 plug)
The G.hn connection can be established either via a pair of wires (connection type SISO = G.hn profile "PHONE 200MHz") or
via two pairs of wires (connection type MIMO = G.hn profile "PHONE 100MHz MIMO"). The corresponding G.hn profile
must be configured via the web interface in both modems or via the G.hn switch.
Factory setting: G.hn "PHONE 200MHz" profile.
Core assignment SISO
Core assignment MIMO

7. Installation Notes
The veins of a pair can be laid straight or crossed.
Maximum range of the G.hn connection depends on the type of cable used, the type of connection and the
environment. Typical values for a 0.5 mm twisted-pair cable: Connection possible up to approx. 600/800 meters
(SISO/MIMO), maximum bandwidth of 1500 Mbit/s –up to approx. 100/200 meters (SISO/MIMO).
For longer cables (from approx. 100-150m), the bandwidth can be increased by up to 15% (SISO) or up to 25% (MIMO)
by adjusting the signal level. To do this, the "Range optimization model" must be set to "Long" in the web interface of
both modems or the "LongRangeMode" setting must be activated in the G.hn switch. After the change, both devices
must be restarted.
The negotiated bandwidth can be queried via the web interface of the devices (see point 11).
The distribution of the bandwidth of the G.hn connection is variable. It can be set between 80/20% and 20/80%. By
default, 70% of the bandwidth is reserved for download (from master to client) and 30% for upload (from client to
master). The split can be configured via the web interface of the master modem (menu item G.hn DownStream /
UpStream Ratio) or via the G.hn switch.

8. Administration
IP-Address: 192.168.10.252 (master), 192.168.10.253 (client). Login Password: PaternaWork-Reset Password: betera
9. IP address
T he modems do not require IP addresses from the local network segment during operation, because they mediate data
traffic via the MAC addresses. By default, they do not obtain addresses from the local DHCP server.
If desired, static IP addresses can be configured or the DHCP client can be activated (menu "IP" in the web interface).
10. VLAN usage in the network
The devices support VLANs according to the 802.1Q standard.
In the factory setting, the VLAN tags are forwarded transparently. External Ethernet switches can be used for the formation
and use of VLANs.
Instead of external Ethernet switches, VLAN configuration can be done by the manageable G.hn switch G4224. Both
Ethernet ports of the G4202TCP-RPF and the G4202TCP modem can be configured independently of each other.
Registration via web interface
Connect your computer to the G.hn modem via the G1 or G2
port.
Assign your computer a fixed IP address,
e.g. 192.168.10.100 (netmask 255.255.255.0).
Open a web browser and connect to 192.168.10.252 or
192.168.10.253.
Log in with the default password: Paterna

11. Query the negotiated bandwidth
The bandwidths negotiated by the devices for both transmission directions can be queried via the web interface of each
device. The reported values are gross data transfer rates at the physical layer (PHY). The transfer speed at the application
level is about 15-20% lower.
12. Use of Multicast IP-TV
For the transmission of multicast IP-TV (e.g. Telekom
MagentaTV) in the network, "IGMP Snooping" must be
activated in the multicast configuration.

13. Notching, compatibility with DSL/VDSL
The G.hn modems can also be used in parallel with DSL/VDSL connections with unshielded telephone cables as well as via
double wires of a common cable.
In the case of DSL and VDSL50, the G.hn modems usually do not require any settings.
For compatibility with VDSL100 (profile 17a) and VDSL250 (profile 35b), the G.hn level in the range 2-17MHz and 2-30MHz
must normally be lowered by 10dB. The setting is to be configured in Master Modem.
