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 the existing
copper telephone lines or coaxial cables without the need for rewiring.
The IVC-2004PT PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender has a switching
architecture with 4 PoE of RJ-45 10/100Mbps ports and 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-2004PT can set to Master or Slave
mode via a DIP switch. When IVC-2004PT (RJ-11) is connected with
another IVC-2004PT device, the performance will go up to 99/63Mbps
for asymmetric data rate within 200m and go up to 28/2Mbps at
1.4km. The IVC-2004PT (BNC) performance is up to 99/65Mbps for
asymmetric data rate within 200m and up to 31/4Mbps at 2.4km. This
capability is ideal for use as an Ethernet extender for your existing
Ethernet network.

6
With 4 PoE interfaces, the IVC-2004PT will be ideal for small
businesses and workgroups requiring to deploy the PoE for the wireless
access points, IP-based surveillance camera or IP phones in any places
easily, efciently and cost-effectively.
The IVC-2004PT PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender with the IP-30
aluminum metal shape is designed for easy deployment in Heavy
Industrial demanding environments.
PLANET PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender provides a lower cost
replacement and smooth migration for the existing Long Reach
Ethernet (LRE) networks.
The cable specications of the connection are listed as follows:
z10Base-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP
z100Base-TX, Category 5, 5e or 6 UTP
zEthernet over VDSL2, Twisted-pair Telephone Wires
zEthernet over VDSL2, Coaxial Cable
Note
Slave device (CPE) must be connected to Master device
(CO) through the telephone wire or coaxial cable. It does
not allow connection like Master to Master or Slave to
Slave. To check whether the IVC-2004PT is connected to
Master or Slave, please refer to section 2.1.2 for more
details.

2. Hardware Description
zIVC-2004PT
The IVC-2004PT provides 4 RJ-45 with PoE, 1 RJ-11 and 1 BNC port
for network line connection. The 4 RJ-45 ports come 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 PoE Industrial
Ethernet Extender. For easier control of the PoE 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 PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender,

z2.1.2 DIP Switch Indication
The PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender provides 4 selective transmission
modes. By switching the transmission mode, you can obtain the best
transmission mode to suit the phone line or BNC quality of distance
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 Switch DIP-1 DIP-2 DIP-3 DIP-4
Function Mode Link Type Band Plan SNR
OFF Master RJ-11 Symm 9dB
ON (default) Slave BNC Asymm 6dB
zMaster / Salve
t Master (Central Ofce) – In 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) – In 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.
Note
When the PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender operates at
Slave mode, the DIP switch 2, 3 and 4 are non-func-
tional.
zLink Type
tBNC mode allows IVC-2004PT to connect and transfer data by
using BNC cable
tRJ-11 mode allows IVC-2004PT to connect and transfer data by
using Telephone Wire

14
zBand Plan
tUser can switch the Band Plan either Symmetric or Asymmetric
by their own. When Symmetric is selected, it provides better
upstream performance. When Asymmetric is selected, it provides
better downstream performance. Please refer to the above table
for details.
zTarget 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, DIP 4 switch is set at “ON” position
and operate as “Slave”. To operate as “Master”, please
set DIP 1 switch to “OFF” position. Adjust other DIP
switch settings according to different network application
demands
Please power off the PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender before making
any transmission mode adjustment.

3. Installation
3.1 Installing PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender – IVC-
2004PT
The PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender does not require any software
conguration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product
simply by attaching the cables and powering on. The PoE Industrial
Ethernet Extender has some limitation as mentioned below:
IVC-2004PT: 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 connector for VDSL2 network connection.
Telephone Wire: Depending on the quality of telephone line, the
maximum distance of RJ-11 segment is 1.4km (4593ft) with AWG 24
telephone wires.
Coaxial: Depending on the quality of coaxial cable, the maximum
distance of BNC segment is 2.4km (7874ft) with 5C type of coaxial
cable.
The link distances and performance will vary on the quality of
telephone wire and coaxial cable.

3.2 IVC-2004PT BNC / RJ-11 Proper Connection
PLANET PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender has a DIP switch which can
adjust to be Master or Slave mode. As to connection of two PLANET
PoE 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
PoE Industrial Ethernet Extender does not allow connecting
BNC and RJ-11 at the same time.

The IVC-2004PT temperature range is from -40 to 75 degrees C which
can handle any harsh environment and places. It is also compatible
with PLANET IVC-2002, VC-201A and VC-202A, without spending extra
cost to deploy a new local Internet in an apartment, hotel, campus
and hospitality environment. The original network structure can be
used to re-deploy with our latest PLANET IVC-2004PT. For example,
MC-700, MC-1500 and MC-1500R chassis with VC-201A and VC-202A
inside can be set as CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) mode
which is placed in the wiring center (MDF room). Besides, connecting
an IVC-2004PT extender in Master mode can be had by using
telephone line or coaxial cable.

To decide where to put the IVC-2004PT, 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 must be avoided.
tAir Flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of
the case is not restricted (A minimum of 25mm inch clearance is
recommended.).
To prolong the operational life of your units:
tDo not place objects on top of any unit or stack.
