This chapter summarizes some possible installation problems with the Evaluation/Demo Kit and provides their
solution.
This chapter includes the following:
•“COM Error Message” on Page 12
•“Connection Lost” on Page 12
•“No Link Established Indication” on Page 13
•“Default Link Established, but Warm-Start Link or RA Fails” on Page 13
4.1 COM Error Message
Action
VDSL6100i-E board connected to the PC via the COM cable, and VDSL6100i-E Configuration Program started.
Problem
An error message appears as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 Error Message
Solution
Carry out the following steps:
1. Check your settings
2. Check the COM cable connection to the VDSL 6100i-E board
3. If the COM cable is connected properly, check the power supply connection.
4. Perform a hard reset.
Note: A: If the board is powered properly, the COM cable is connected, and the correct COM port and baud rate
are selected, the VDSL6100i-E Configuration Program recognizes the modem.
4.2 Connection Lost
Action
While working with the VDSL6100i-E Configuration Program, the message “connection was lost” appears.
Problem
Connection Lost
Solution
1. Click Ok.
2. Try reconnecting to the board. If this fails,
3. Press the hard reset button on the board and reconnect again.

Troubleshooting
4.3 No Link Established Indication
Action
LT board connected to the PC via the COM cable. Configuration program started, but the NT board does not
respond. The LED indicates a link was not established.
Problem
Link was not established
Solution
Check the following, to establish the VDSL link.
1. Check that both modems are connected to a power supply. Verify this by checking that the green LEDs next
to the power jacks of each modem are on.
2. Make sure that the modems are correctly set as LT and NT. Verify this by checking the DIP switch setting, and
by checking the indication in the Configuration Program title bar. To change between the modems, click
Configuration>Communication from the Main menu.
Note: Changing the COM cable between the modems while the Configuration Program is running will not change
the indication in the title bar.
3. Check that the modems are installed with the appropriate filters on the CPE side.
4. Check that both modems run a valid FW version. To verify this, check the FW version indication, under the
appropriate modem image, in the Main Status window. If the message is FW: ROM, there is no FW running,
and therefore no VDSL link will be established. To install a valid FW version, refer to Firmware Update in the
VDSL6100i-E User’s Manual, Software Description. To check the FW version running on the other modem,
connect to it using Configuration>Communication from the Main menu.
5. Modems should be connected by a cable via the VDSL line connectors (see WJ2 in Figure 1). For testing, use
the short connection cable included in the Kit since too long of a loop, as well as an incorrect configuration,
may prevent the establishment of a VDSL link.
6. Another possibility for the default link to fail, is that DF0 is skipped, while the other two default STPs are invalid.
To overcome this, verify that the Skip Default STP 0 check box in the Chip Commands window is clear.
Please perform this step for both modems.
4.4 Default Link Established, but Warm-Start Link or RA Fails
Action
Modems are connected by a default link, but no warm-start link can be established or the RA algorithm fails.
Problem
No warm-start Link or the RA algorithm fails
Solution
It is possible that the warm-start STP memory in the LT and NT modems differ, or contain invalid values. To check
this, use the Terminal Command Line Console features window, described in the Configuration Program, as
follows:
1. Execute the command rd 5e30 19. Switch to Remote and execute the command again.
2. If the values differ, there will be problems raising a warm-start link. To change this, use the write command
(wr) to change the values so that they match.
3. Note the values at address 5e48 – 5e4e. The default values should be 03 00 00 88 88 88 88.
4. If you find other values, and you didn't make any changes to the interleaver, you should manually change the
values in those addresses to the default values described here.
5. After the values in both areas match, you can try to load a new warm-start STP, or run RA.

Typical Application
5 Typical Application
This chapter includes the following:
“TCP/IP over 10/100BaseT - Ethernet Extension” on Page 14
5.1 TCP/IP over 10/100BaseT - Ethernet Extension
After the two boards are set-up and a VDSL link is established, data transmission via TCP/IP over 10/100BaseT
is possible.
To establish a 10/100BaseT connection, two personal computers equipped with Ethernet NICs are necessary.
The VDSL6100i-E Evaluation/Demo Board provides either a 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet interface.
Note: Payload data transmission over VDSL6100i-E is restricted by the VDSL link configuration. Refer to the
VDSL6100i-E User’s Manual, Software Description, for more information on link configuration.
After installation of the Ethernet NICs and proper definition of the TCP/IP configuration, the two personal
computers must be connected to each VDSL6100i-E board via the 10/100BaseT interface connector (JP1).
Note: For proper Ethernet operation over the VDSL link, one of the sides (client or server) must be connected to
its board via a crossed Ethernet cable.
For bi-directional transmission, each personal computer must be both server and client. Uni-directional
transmission requires one personal computer to be configured as the server, the other as the client.
If Windows NT4.0/2000 is used, file sharing over TCP/IP can also be setup very easily.
A typical application is video streaming or fast file transfer.
Figure 2 on Page 10 illustrates a possible application.
