IMPORTANT NOTE: The BRX-VDSL2-8 unit is powered from the Sealing Current found on a standard POTS pair.
The BRX-VDSL2-8 will not work on a dry pair (line with no sealing current). Each pair of the BRX-VDSL2-8 is powered
independently with each pair requiring the presence of the sealing DC Voltage for proper operation.
You can also use the BRX Power Injector when deploying the BRX-VDSL2-8 on dry pairs (no POTS service).
Grounding
Lug
Step 1: Select the location where the BRX-VDSL2-8 will be
inserted using the BRX-VDSL2 Calculator for the longest loop
that requires amplication.
Step 2: Connect the grounding lug of the unit to a proper ground
(usually available near the splice point).
Step 3: Insert a BRX-BYPASS-TEST module in slot 1 and ensure
that both switches are in BYPASS mode.
Step 4: Connect the rst two (2) pairs to be amplied to the
rst two (2) pairs of the BRX-VDSL2-8. Make sure to match the
DSLAM pair color to the CPE pair color.
Step 5: Test for continuity between the DSLAM pair and CPE
pair at the splice point. If a pair is powered with a -48Vdc sealing
current, the corresponding LED on the BRX-BYPASS-TEST
module will be ON. If either circuit is not powered, a continuity
test will conrm that the pair is spliced properly (no open, short
or ground fault) but you will need to verify the DSLAM is able to
provide the current. If operating on a dry pair, you should use a
BRX Power Injector.
Step 6: Replace the BRX-BYPASS-TEST module with a
BRX-VDSL2-M module.
Step 7: The DSLAM and CPE will now retrain the circuit and bring
up the ADSL2+ / ADSL link with the amplied bandwidth. Note
that the performance may be limited (or capped) by a setting in
the DSLAM and/or BRAS conguration.
Step 8: Repeat steps 3 to 7 for the other three (3) slots of the
BRX-VDSL2-8 enclosure.
