2. Hardware Installation
The 24 ports VDSL MANAGED SWITCH has embedded Splitter between every
VDSL side and POTS side. It permits you can deliver broadband service on the
same lines as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), ISDN traffic and VDSL Signal.
Several LED indicators for monitoring the device itself, and the network status. At a
quick glance of the front panel, the user would be knew if the product is receiving
power; if it is monitoring another MANAGED SWITCH or other devices; or if a
problem exists on the network.
The 24-port VDSL MANAGED SWITCH provides one 10/100/1000Mbps auto-
sensing RJ-45 Ethernet port as Ethernet expansion port and one 10/100/1000 RJ-45
trunk port with auto link function.

2.1 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to install the 24-ports VDSL managed switch to
establish network connection. You may install the managed switch on any
level surface (table, shelf, 19 inch rack or wall mounting). However, please
take note of the following minimum site requirements before you begin.
Pre-installation Requirements
Before you start actual hardware installation, make sure you can provide the
right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical
space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Verify
the following installation requirement:
Verify the following installation requirements:
yPower requirements: AC 100V to 240 V at 50 to 60 Hz.
yThe Switch power supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level.
yThe managed switch should be located in a cool dry place, with at least
10cm/4in of space at the front and back for ventilation.
yPlace the managed switch out of direct sunlight, and away from heat
sources or areas with a high amount of electromagnetic interference.
yCheck if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available
General Rules
Before making any connections to the managed switch, note the following rules:
yEthernet Port (RJ-45)
All network connections to the managed switch Ethernet port must be made
using Category 5e,6 UTP for 1000Mbps, Category 5,5e UTP for 100Mbps,
Category 3, 4 UTP for 10Mbps.
No more than 100 meters of cabling may be use between the managed
switch or HUB and an end node.
yVDSL LINE Port (RJ-21)

6
All Home network connections to VDSL
1 X RJ-21 Cable (Male to Male) Using Pin 1 ~ 24, 26 ~ 49
RJ-21 Pin25 & 50 is not used.
The setup of the Managed Switch can be performed using the following steps:
Step 1: Connecting to Gigabit Ethernet
The 24-port VDSL managed switch has 2 x GIGA Ethernet supporting full or
half-duplex operation. The transmission mode is using auto-negotiation.
Therefore, the devices attached to these ports must support auto-negotiation
unless they will always operate at half duplex. If transmissions must run at full
duplex, but the attached device does not support auto-negotiation, then you
should upgrade this device to a newer version that supports auto-negotiation.
Use “25” port connect to devices such as server, bridge or router. You can
also cascade to another compatible MUX or hub by connecting the 26 port to
the other device.
yConnect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable from a network switch to an available
Ethernet port on SP3524A.
yThe network switch should provide 10/100/1000 Mbps Giga Ethernet ports
that are connected with SP3524A and uplink port for a network connection.
Step 2: Connecting to RJ-21 VDSL LINE port for VDSL Modem (SP3501AS)
connections.
Step 3: Connecting to RJ-21 POTS/ISDN port for central office switch or PBX connections.
Step 4:
yRJ-21 Cable to Main Distribution Frame (MDF) for connecting telephones
line and VDSL Modem (SP3501AS) connections lines
yThe RJ21 cable is suitable for customers who have their own MDF(Main
Distribution Frame).
Step 5: Connect the lines from VDSL Modem (SP3501AS) to the MDF.
Step 6: Connect the lines from the central office switch or PBX to the MDF.

7
yPlease ensure suitable VDSL Modem (SP3501AS) is installed before
making a connection to any of the SP3524A VDSL LINE (1-24) station ports.
yNetworking devices can be installed on a single telephone wire that can
span up to maximum of 1.7km between the two points.
yWhen connect a RJ-21, be sure on the plug insert into position to ensure
that it is properly seated.
Notes:
yBe sure each twisted-pair cable (RJ-45) does not exceed 100 meters (333
feet).
yRJ-11 port use 18 ~ 26 gauge phone wiring, we do not recommend 28
gauge or above.
yWe advise using Category 5 cable for Cable Modem or Router connections
to avoid any confusion or inconvenience in the future when you upgrade
attached to high bandwidth devices.
For cable selection, refer to the following table
Connection Type Cable Requirements Maximum Length
VDSL LINE (RJ-21) z18-26 Gauge phone wiring.
zDo not recommend 28 or
above Gauge.
z5M/5M: 1.7km
z15M/15M: 1.1km
z25M/25M: 600m
