1.2 About the Switch
The VC-1602 is anEthernet over VDSLswitchwithsixteenVDSL ports (on1RJ-21
connector) and twoGigabit slide-in slots onthe rear panel for optional fiber/copper Gigabit
modules. The switch isaDSLAM (Digital Subscriber LineAccess Multiplexer)
accommodating well provenEthernet and VDSL technologies to extend Ethernet over
single-pair phonelinebyusing aVDSL signal. Up to 15/17Mbps bandwidth and5
selectivetransmission modes provides ultra-highperformance tothepervasive telephone
linenetwork,andhas theadvantageofminimuminstallationtimeandminimumexpense
byallowingvoice and data to share the sametelephone pair withoutinterference.
Moreover, themaximum1.5kmdistance provides wide coverage for service providers.
The 2Gigabit slide-inslotson therear panel provide fat pipes for connectingtothe
backbone or connecting to servers. 10/100/1000Base-T,1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX
modules are available tofit existing networks and to provide flexible media selections.
The VDSL Switchcontainsanadvancedmanagement capabilitythatcanberemotely
accessed byTelnet,SNMP andBrowser.The standardIEEE 802.1Q withVLANtagging
feature makes logicallyseparating nodes easier with up to 255VLAN groups allowed.
Twopriorityqueues with 802.1psupport, IGMP snoopingand ratecontrol functionare
also provided tooptimize networkbandwidth.
The VC-1602provides switch stacking functionalityto manage upto8switches using a
single IP address. Through its proprietarymanagement bus using astandardRJ-45
cable,thedistance betweenstacked switches can be up to800m.The management bus
traffic is separated fromthe networkports, ensuring heavy networkloading does notaffect
management tasks. 128 VDSL ports can be managed witha single IP address.
The VC-1602 is ideal for providingbroadbandservices to subscribers in apartment, hotel
and campus communities. Fullycompatible withCisco LRE CPE modems, PLANET's
VDSL solutionprovides alowercost replacement andsmooth migrationfromexisting
Cisco LRE networks.

Chapter 2HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This section describes thehardwarefeatures andinstallation ofthese Switches. For
easier management and control ofthe switch, familiarize yourselfwith itsdisplay
indicators, andports. Front panelillustrations in this chapterdisplaytheunitLED
indicators. Before connecting anynetworkdevice tothe switch, readthis chapter
carefully.
Furthermore, there arethree choices ofdifferent modules for expansion:
l WGSW-D1GT:10/100/1000Base-Tmodule
l WGSW-D1SX:1000Base-SX module
l WGSW-D1LX:1000Base-LX module

Stack ports
There are twostackports on thefront panel. One is IN andtheother is OUT.When
stacked, the IN port should connect to the other switch sOUTport and the OUTport
should connect toother switch sIN out. You can just use normal Cat 5or better cable with
RJ-45 connector to stack. Onlystraight-through UTP/STPcable can be used.There is no
Duplex Mode issue and themaximumdistance between first and last switchis 800m.
SWITCH ID
Each switch onastack must have auniqueswitch ID.There are eightdegrees (0~7) in
the rotaryswitch. The switch with least switch ID will becomemaster switch and the
others becomeslave. Ifmaster switch is fail or disconnected tothe switch bystack port,
the switch with least switch ID will becomemaster.
Everydevice in the management stackshould have aunique “Switch ID”.In the
meanwhile,a “Switch ID”which has beenusing byadevice, reused byanother, the
management stackwill fail.
Reset button
At the middle offront panel,the reset button is designed for reboot the switch without turn
off and on the power.
VDSL ports
There are 16 VDSL ports within 1RJ-21 connector on the front panel.
The VDSL supports 5selective transmission modes that operatein different band
allocation andresultindifferent upstreamand downstreambandwidth.Dueto different
telephone linequality,cross talk or extension distance mayaffect actual achievable
speed;youcanconfigure individualportin built-in management interface for optimized
connectivity.

Wiring for VDSL ports
The VDSL portofVC-1602uses oneRJ-21(Telco 50) connectortoconnect up to16
VDSL converters (VC-102S, VC-101Sor Cisco LREmodem)through structured or
unstructured wiring, such asexisting telephone lines. The linkbetween theVDSL switch
port andeachconverter canreach speeds ofup to15/17 Mbps over distances ofup to
5000feet(1500meters). You canhotswaptheVDSLconverters withoutpoweringdown
the switch or disrupting the other switch ports.
Iftelephone services, such as voice or anIntegratedServices Digital Network(ISDN), use
the samecablingas VDSLtraffic, the VDSL port must be connected tothe patchpanel
throughaplain old telephone service(POTS) splitter. The splitter routes VDSL data
(high-frequency)andvoice(low-frequency)traffic fromthe telephonelinetotheswitch
and private branch exchange (PBX) switch or public switched telephone network(PSTN).

Ifthe port is connected but the relevantLED is dark, checkthe followingitems:
1. The switch and the connected devices power are on or not.
2. The connecting cable is good and with correct type.
3. The cableis firmlyseated inits connectors intheswitch andintheassociated
device.
4. The connectingdevice,includinganynetworkadapteris well installedand
functioning.
5. Confirmthe CPE deviceis implemented within thescope ofoperativewithout
