This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Plug the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
FCC Caution:
To assure continued compliance, for example, use only shielded interface cables when connecting to
computer or peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference

3
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the
possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than
20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

1.2 Product Description
High-performance Ethernet over VDSL2
Via the latest VDSL2 technology with 30a profile supported, PLANET VDR-301N offers very
high-performance access to Internet, up to 100Mbps for both downstream and upstream data transmission.
VDSL2 absolutely offers the fastest data transmission speed over the existing copper telephone lines without
the need for rewiring. With integrated support for the ITU-T’s new G.993.5 Vectoring technology, the
VDR-301N works in conjunction with vectoring-enabled DSLAMs to remove crosstalk interference and
improve maximum line bandwidth across the existing copper infrastructure.
Delivering High-demanding Service Connectivity for ISP / Triple Play Devices
The VDR-301N provides excellent bandwidth to meet the demand of the triple play devices for home
entertainment and communication. With the capability of 100/100Mbps symmetric data transmission, the
VDR-301N enables many multi-media services to work on local Internet, such as VOD (Video on Demand),
Voice over IP, Video phone, IPTV, Internet caching server, distance education, and so on.

User Manual of VDR-301N

ADSL2+ Fallback
For those ISPs that still provide ADSL broadband service, the VDR-301N can support transmission rates up to
24Mbps downstream and 3.5Mbps upstream with ADSL2+ technology. The VDR-301N supports PPPoA (RFC
2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 2684 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over
Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IP over ATM (IPoA, RFC 1483) to establish a connection with ISP and it can be also
directly switched over to VDSL2 after the ISP network upgrade.
High-speed 802.11n Wireless Connectivity
The VDR-301N applies 2T2R MIMO antenna technology and provides two modes for network applications --
Router and Bridge. With built-in 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless network capability, the VDR-301N allows
any computer and wireless-enabled network device to connect to it without additional cabling. 802.11n
wireless capability brings users the data transmission rate as high as 300Mbps. The radio coverage is also
doubled to offer high-speed wireless connection even in spacious offices or houses.
Secure Wireless Access Control
To secure wireless communication, the VDR-301N supports most up-to-date encryptions including WEP,
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. Moreover, the VDR-301N supports WPS configuration with PBC/PIN type for
users to easily connect to a secure wireless network.
Superior Management Functions
The VDR-301N provides user-friendly management interface that can be managed easily through standard
web browsers. For networking management features, the VDR-301N not only provides basic router
functions such as DHCP server, virtual server, DMZ, QoS, and UPnP, but also full firewall functions
including Network Address Translation (NAT), IP/Port/MAC Filtering and Content Filtering. Furthermore,
the VDR-301N serves as an Internet firewall to protect your network from being accessed by unauthorized
users.

User Manual of VDR-301N

Multiple Functions for Broadband Communications
The VDR-301N integrates VDSL2, ADSL2+ and wireless LAN services into one unit. It is designed to
provide a simple and cost-effective xDSL Internet connection for a private Ethernet and 802.11b/g/n
wireless network. The Router combines high-speed xDSL Internet connection and IP routing for the LAN
and wireless connectivity in one package. It is usually preferred to provide high access performance
applications for the individual users, SOHOs and small enterprises.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Capability
With fully supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, the VDR-301N can work with original IPv4 network
structure and also support the new IPv6 network structure now and in the future. As more network devices are
growing and the need for larger addressing and higher security becomes critical, the VDR-301N is the best
choice for ISPs to build the IPv6 FTTx edge service and for SMBs to connect with the IPv6 network.
Robust TR-069 Remote Management
To reduce the service provider’s manpower needed for on-site maintenance, the VDR-301N supports TR069
(WAN Management Protocol) standard that allows an Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) to perform
auto-configuration, provision, collection, and diagnostics to this device remotely.

1.3 Product Features
Internet Access Features
Shared Internet Access: All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the
VDR-301N using only one single external IP address. The local (invalid) IP addresses
are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address
Translation).
Built-in VDSL2 Modem: The VDR-301N provides VDSL2 modem and supports all common
VDSL2 connections.
G. Vectoring: G.993.5 (G. Vector) support for significant reduction of crosstalk levels
and improvement of VDSL2 line performance
Multiple WAN Connections:Upon the Internet (WAN port) connection, the
VDR-301N supports ADSL2+ and VDSL2.
Advanced Internet Functions
Virtual Servers: This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The setup is also quick and easy.
Firewall: The VDR-301N supports simple firewall with NAT technology.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP): UPnP allows automatic discovery and configuration of the
Broadband Router. UPnP is supported by Windows XP, 7 or later.
DMZ Support: The VDR-301N can translate public IP addresses into private IP address to
allow unlimited 2-way communication with the servers or individual users on the Internet. It
provides the most flexible way to run programs smoothly for programs that might be restricted in
NAT environment.
RIPv1/v2 Routing: It supports RIPv1/v2 routing protocol for routing capability.
LAN Features
4-port Switch:The VDR-301N incorporates a 4-port 10/100BASE-TX switching hub,
making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
DHCP Server Support:Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The VDR-301N can act as a DHCP Server
for devices on your local LAN.
Wireless Features
IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Stations: The VDR-301N supports 802.11n standard which
provides backward compatibility with the 802.11b and 802.11g standard, so 802.11b, 802.11g,
and 802.11n can be used simultaneously. IEEE 802.11n wireless technology is capable of having
a data rate of up to 300Mbps.
WPS Push Button Control: The VDR-301N supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) for
users to easily connect to wireless network without configuring the security.
Advanced Security: Supports 64/128-bit WEP, WPA / WPA2 and WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK
(TKIP/AES encryption), and 802.1x.
Wireless MAC Access Control: The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC
address (hardware address) of wireless stations to ensure that only trusted wireless stations can
access your LAN.
