1.2 Ethernet over VDSL2 Bridge Description
PLANET’s state-of-the-art Ethernet-over-VDSL2 products are based on
two core networking technologies: Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-
data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). This technology offers the
absolute fastest possible data transmission speeds over existing copper
telephone lines or coaxial cables without the need for rewiring.
The IVC-2002 Industrial Ethernet Extender has a switching architecture
with 4 RJ-45 10/100Mbps Ethernet port and one asymmetric or
symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (Asymmetric means upstream and
downstream rate are not the same and Symmetric means upstream
and downstream rate are similar) – the VDSL port can be RJ-11 or
BNC Connector. The IVC-2002 can set to Master or Slave mode via a
DIP switch. When IVC-2002 (RJ-11) is connected with other IVC-2002
device, the performance will up to 99/63Mbps for asymmetric data rate
within 200m and up to 28/2Mbps for asymmetric data rate at 1.4km.
The IVC-2002 (BNC) performance is up to 99/65Mbps for asymmetric
data rate within 200m and up to 31/4Mbps for asymmetric data rate at
2.4km. This capability is ideal for use as an Ethernet extender for your
existing Ethernet network.
The IVC-2002 Industrial Ethernet Extender with slim type and IP-
30 metal shape for easily deployment in Heavy Industrial demanding
environments.
PLANET Industrial Ethernet Extender provides a lower cost replacement
and smooth migration for existing Long Reach Ethernet (LRE)
networks.
The cable specications of the connection are listed as following:
10Base-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP
100Base-TX, Category 5, 5e or 6 UTP
Ethernet over VDSL2, Twisted-pair Telephone Wires
Ethernet over VDSL2, Coaxial Cable
Note
Slave device (CPE) must connect to Master device (CO)
through the telephone wire or coaxial cable. It is not
allow connecting like Master to Master or Slave to Slave.
To define the IVC-2002 to Master or Slave, please refer
to section 2.1.2 for more detail.

2. Hardware Description
IVC-2002
The IVC-2002 provides 4 RJ-45, 1 RJ-11 and 1 BNC port for network
line connection. The 4 RJ-45 ports with two different running speeds
– 10Mbps and 100Mbps. It will distinguish the speed of incoming
connection automatically.
This section describes the hardware features of the Industrial Ethernet
Extender. For easier control of the Industrial Ethernet Extender,
familiarize yourself with its display indicators and ports. Front panel
illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before
connecting any network device to the Industrial Ethernet Extender, read
this chapter carefully.

2.1.2 MODE DIP Switch
The Industrial Ethernet Extender provides 4 selective transmission
modes. By switching the transmission modes, you can obtain a best
transmission mode to suit with phone line quality or distance of
connectivity. The following is the summary table of transmission setting,
bandwidth and distance extensibility tested for AWG 24 (0.5mm)
twisted-pair without noise and cross talk.
DIP-1 DIP-2 DIP-3 DIP-4
Mode Channel Band Plan SNR
OFF Master Interleave Symm 9dB
ON (default) Slave Fast Asymm 6dB
Master / Salve
t Master (Central Ofce) – the Master device mode, usually the
Master device will be located at the data center of ISP or enter-
prise to link to the backbone.
tSlave (Customer Premises Equipment) – the Slave device mode,
usually the Slave device will be located at branch ofce, home or
remote side as the long reach data receiver. The Slave also can be
connected to the PC, IP Camera or Wireless Access Point and etc
network devices.
Note
When the Industrial Ethernet Extender operate at Slave
mode, the DIP switch 2,3,4 is no function.
Fast and Interleave mode
tFast mode guarantees a minimum end to end latency less than 1
ms.
tInterleaved mode provides impulse noises protection with a dura-
tion less than 250 us. Interleaved mode has a maximum end to
end latency of 10m sec.
l

14
Band Plan
tUser can switch the Band Plan either Symmetric or Asymmetric
by their own. When Symmetric is selected that provides better
upstream performance, when Asymmetric is selected that provides
better downstream performance. Refer to table above for details.
Target SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) Margin
t When xed SNR margin is selected, the system will maintain the
SNR margin at 9 dB across all usable loop length.
Note
By default setting, the four DIP switch at “ON” posi-
tion and operate as “Slave”. For operate as “Master”,
please adjust the DIP 1 switch to “OFF” position. Adjust
other DIP switch setting to fill different network applica-
tion demand.
Please power off the Industrial Ethernet Extender before making any
transmission mode adjustment.

3. Installation
3.1 Install Industrial Ethernet Extender – IVC-2002
The Industrial Ethernet Extender does not require any software
conguration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product
simply by attached the cables and plug power on. There is some
key limitation on the Industrial Ethernet Extender. Please check the
following items:
IVC-2002: The device is used for Point-to-Point connection only
(Master device to Slave device) and has equipped with one RJ-11 and
one BNC connectors for VDSL2 port for network link connection.
Phone wire: Depending on the quality of telephone line, the maximum
distance of one VDSL segment is 1.4km (5249ft) with AWG 24
telephone wires.
Coaxial: Depending on the quality of coaxial cable, the maximum
distance of one VDSL segment is 2.4km (9842ft) with 5C coaxial cable.
The distances will be changed by the quality of telephone wires and
coaxial cables.

3.2 IVC-2002 BNC / RJ-11 Proper Connection
PLANET Industrial Ethernet Extender has a DIP switch which can adjust
to be Master or Slave mode. Connection of two PLANET Industrial
Ethernet Extenders, one must be Master (CO) mode and the other one
must be Slave (CPE) mode. Please refer to the following Figure 3-1
chart.
Note
Industrial Ethernet Extender does not allow to connect
BNC and RJ-11 at the same time.

Advantage of IVC-2002 which it compatibles with PLANET VC-201A and
VC-202A. Without spend extra cost to deploy a new local Internet in
apartment, hotel, campus and hospitality environment. It can use the
original network structure to re-deploy with our latest product PLANET
IVC-2002. For example, MC-700, MC-1500, MC-1500R chassis with VC-
201A and VC-202A inside and set it as CPE (Customer Premises
Equipment) which need to be placed in the wiring center (MDF room)
and connect it to the telephone line system or coaxial cable system. On
the other hand, need to connect an IVC-2002 converter with Master
mode and connect it to the PLANET Chassis through the telephone
lines or coaxial cables.

When deciding where to put the converter then you must ensure:
tIt is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
tCabling is away from sources of electrical noise such as radios,
transmitters and power lines and uorescent lighting xtures.
tWater or moisture can not enter the Converter.
t Air ow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the
case is not restricted (company recommend that you provide a
minimum of 25mm inch clearance)
To prolong the operational life of your units:
tDo not place objects on top of any unit or stack

3.5 Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact
The fault alarm contacts are in the middle of the terminal block
connector as the picture shows below. Inserting the wires, the
Industrial Ethernet Extender will detect the fault status of the power
failure and then forms an open circuit. The following illustration shows
an application example for wiring the fault alarm contacts.
Insert the wires into the fault alarm contacts
Note
1. The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in
the range between 12 ~ 24 AWG.
2. Alarm relay circuit accepts up to 30V, max. 3A
currents.
