CAUTION Pan Dacom Networking AG strongly recommends the use of proper electrostatic
discharge (ESD) precautions when handling this equipment.
1.Installation
1.1. Unpack and Inspect the Equipment
The following components should be included:
1 SPEED-DSL 4.6 or SPEED-DSL 4.6G
1 power supply
1.2. Power Up the SPEED-DSL 4.6
Plug the power supply into the back of the SPEED-DSL 4.6 and connect it to the power
source. Verify that the Power LED on the front of the SPEED-DSL 4.6 is illuminated.
NOTE Upon start up, the Ethernet link will remain disabled (as indicated by solid
illumination of the Ethernet Rx, Tx, and Lnk LEDs) until at least one of the
two SDSL connections has been established.
1.3. Configure the Switches
Configuration switches for the SDSL ports are on the back of the SPEED-DSL 4.6,
numbered from left to right, 1-4.

1.3.1 Bandwidth
Switches #1-3: SPEED-DSL 4.6-P and SPEED-DSL 4.6G-P ONLY
Switches 1-3 on the SPEED-DSL 4.6-P work in tandem with one another to
provide eight bandwidth options for the two SDSL ports; bandwidth for the two
ports cannot be configured individually. Distance capabilities listed in the
following table assume the use of 26 American Wire Gauge (AWG) cable.
Connections made with cable of a lesser gauge (e.g., 24 AWG) will link up at
greater distances. Your SPEED-DSL 4.6 may not link up if the cable is in poor
condition or if the cable distance is greater than a particular bandwidth will
support; if link IS achieved under such conditions, traffic quality may be affected
(e.g., packets may be dropped).

up up up Adaptive* Adaptive* varies varies
*Adaptive mode allows the SPEED-
DSL 4.6-P to train up to the best
possible speed supported by the
SPEED-DSL 4.6-P, the remote modem
to which it's connected, and the
copper cable pair(s) connecting the
two. The maximum reachable
distance for a single line SPEED-DSL
4.6-P connection in Adaptive mode is
24,700 feet (at 144 kbps).
NOTE Bandwidth cannot be configured on the SPEED-DSL 4.6-S; subscriber units
determine bandwidth via communication with their partner SDSL provider
unit.
1.3.2 Ethernet Duplex Mode
Switch 4: both provider and subscriber units
The Ethernet link can be configured at either Full Duplex or Half Duplex mode.
Although both ends of the ETHERNET connection must have the same duplex
mode configuration, it is not necessary for partner providers and subscribers to be
configured the same; duplex mode does not apply to the SDSL link.
SWITCH 4 CONFIGURATION
down Half Duplex
up Full Duplex
1.3.2.1 Half Duplex Ethernet
Receive and transmit functions are mutually exclusive; data transmission
occurs in only one direction at a time. Packet collisions are not unusual.
1.3.2.2 Full Duplex Ethernet

Version 1.1 SPEED-DSL 4.6 (9900-005-001-A, 9900-006-001-A) page 6 of 14
The Ethernet line can recieve and transmit simultaneously, effectively upping
aggregate bandwidth from 10 mbps to 20 mbps and preventing packet
collisions.
1.4. Connect the SDSL Line(s).
The primary feature of the SPEED-DSL 4.6 is loop bonding capability, though both
the provider and subscriber units can also function with a single SDSL connection.
1.4.1 Loop Bonding
Using two SDSL lines for one network connection (loop bonding) will net twice the speed
and data passing capability as a single SDSL connection. A second SDSL line can also be
considered a backup for the first, and vice versa, should one of the lines become disabled.
Plug the SDSL cables into the SDSL RJ45 ports (SDSL 1 and SDSL 2) on the back
of the SPEED-DSL 4.6; the order of connection is not important. Verify both
connections: the SDSL 1 and SDSL 2 LEDs on the front of the SPEED-DSL 4.6
will pulse green to indicate the connections are established and operational.

Plug the SDSL cable into one of the two SDSL RJ45 ports on the back of the SPEED-DSL
4.6; either port (SDSL 1 or SDSL 2) may be used. Verify the connection: the SDSL LED on
the front of the SPEED-DSL 4.6 (SDSL 1 or SDSL 2 depending upon which port was
connected) will pulse green to indicate the connection is established and operational.

Link up time between local and remote SDSL network extenders can vary from one to
five minutes depending on the quality, gauge and distance of the copper cable(s). If
cable distance(s) is greater than a particular bandwidth will support, the units may not
link up or, if they do achieve link, traffic quality may be affected (e.g., packets may be
dropped).

Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet Connection RJ45 port on the back of the SPEED-

front of the SPEED-DSL 4.6 indicates a link has been established, IF an SDSL connection has
already been made. If an SDSL connection has NOT yet been made, the Ethernet link will
remain disabled (as indicated by solid illumination of the Ethernet Rx, Tx and Lnk LEDs) until
at least one of the two SDSL links has been established.

NOTE For most applications, the SPEED-DSL 4.6 connects to a PC using a straight-
through Ethernet cable and to a hub or a switch using a crossover
Ethernet cable. For any other connection combinations you must verify the
pinout of the Ethernet device into which you are connecting the SPEED-DSL
4.6 in order to determine which type of cable is required.
