1.2 Product Description
Perfectly Designed for FTTx Last Mile Applications
PLANET XDL-2420R is a telecom-level high performance IP-DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) with 24-Port
VDSL2 / ADSL2+ and 2 Gigabit TP / SFP combo interfaces, and AC and DC Redundant Power System.The XDL-2420R is
fully compliant with ITU-T G.993.2 VDSL2 standard band plan up to 30a profiles. It offers maximum download and upload line
rate up to 100/100Mbps on the existing twisted pair lines.
For ADSL connectivity, the XDL-2420R supports high interoperability and backward compatible for ATU-R and supports
ADSL2/ADSL2+ line mode.
- 6 -

The XDL-2420R helps service providers to easily provide high bandwidth demanded triple-play services such as IPTV, HDTV,
Video Phone and Internet Gaming at the same copper line and uplink to the core / metro Ethernet network through the two
Gigabit fiber optical interfaces. It is an ideal CO solution for FTTx last mile applications of broadband access by ISPs,
Telecoms and campuses.
Comprehensive and Advanced VDSL2 / ADSL2+ Configuration
For the bandwidth and distance of broadband access, the XDL-2420R IP-DSLAM supports multiple selective VDSL2 profiles
(8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 12a, 12b, 17a and 30a), 997/998 Band plan and ADSL ITU-T G.993.1, ITU-T G.992.3, ITU-T G.992.5, Annex
A/B/L/M transmission modes to each subscriber line. Furthermore, it can be configured on a per-link basis for transmission
mode, rate limitation, INP (impulse noise protection) and SNR (signal-to-noise) margin. These advanced xDSL functionalities
help service providers to adjust the line performance and build a stable and reliable IP DSLAM solution.
Extremely Reliable Design to Ensure Continuous Operation
The XDL-2420R supports the SELT (Single-ended loop testing) and dual power inputs system. SELT, like metallic testing from
POTS world, is an automated way of testing a DSL loop from one end to the line, either from the central office (CO) or, less
likely from the subscriber’s end. Unlike dual-end loop testing (DELT), where someone must install some sort of test device at
customer’s end of the line, SELT doesn’t require a technician or any equipment at the subscriber site.
The XDL-2420R is equipped with one 100~240V AC unit and one -48V DC power supply unit. Dual power systems offer more
power deploy flexibility, and the -48V DC power supply implemented makes the XDL-2420R IP DSLAM as a telecom level
device that can be located at the electronic room.

1. It is recommended to use PLANET SFP transceiver on the DSLAM. If you insert an
un-supported SFP transceiver into the DSLAM, the DSLAM will not recognize it.
2. In the installation steps below, this Manual uses Gigabit SFP transceiver as an example.
However, the steps for Fast Ethernet SFP transceiver are similar.

1. Before we connect DSLAM to the other network device, we have to make sure both sides of the SFP transceivers are with
the same media type, for example: 1000BASE-SX to 1000BASE-SX, 1000Bas-LX to 1000BASE-LX.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver requirement.
To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, please use the multi-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, please use the single-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.
Connect the Fiber Cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the DSLAM. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link fails.
Remove the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity.
2. Remove the fiber-optic cable gently.
3. Lift up the lever of the MGB module and turn it to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.
Figure 2-7: How to Pull Out the SFP Transceiver
Never pull out the module without lifting up the lever of the module and turning it to a
horizontal position. Directly pulling out the module could damage the module and the SFP
module slot of the DSLAM.
