Introduction
TUPAVCO TEX-200 is an Ultra-Speed Gigabit Ethernet Copper Extender that supports a
remarkable aggregated bandwidth up to 300Mbps (Downstream: 150 Mbps/Upstream: 150
Mbps). It delivers fiber-optic like speeds on existing copper infrastructure, enabling a good
alternative in place where fiber is not economical to deploy. The TEX-200 is equipped with a
Gigabit Ethernet Port (RJ-45 connector) and one VDSL2 port (RJ-45 connector). 8 different
profile settings can be flexibly selected via dip switches to suit various applications and
environments. Symmetric profile can be applied as a standard Ethernet connection while
Asymmetric profile can be used for other services like Video streaming or IP surveillance
services which require high traffic flow in an uni-direction configuration. The TEX-200 supports
transparent LAN bridging to extend Ethernet service over UTP, Cat 5+ or Coaxial cables. With
TUPAVCO TEX-200’s superior performance in its category, it is the best high throughput Long
Reach Ethernet Extenders for service providers to deploy their IP-based networking services to
meet various application scenarios.

54-Position DIP Switch
The device is equipped with DIP Switch selection which allows users to select the parameters
in order to meet the needs of different applications. Dip Switch 1 allows you to configure the unit
as Master (OT) or Remote (RT). Usually, the Master unit is located at the central office site of
Service Providers or Headquarter of Enterprise while the Remote unit is located at home, remote
sites or branch offices. Please note the Remote Unit (RT) will always follow the setting of
Master Unit (OT). When the unit operates in RT (CPE) Mode, Dip Switches 2,3,4 have no
functions.When the unit operates in OT(Master) Mode, Dip Switches supports 8 different profile
settings for different applications and environments.
Note:
There are four white buttons for DIP Switch. Moving the white button up position, its function is
“Off”. Moving the white button down position, its function is “On”.

6Description of Setting
1. Symmetrical profile - Downstream and upstream rate are symmetrical.
2. Asymmetrical profile - Downstream and upstream rate are asymmetrical. Asymmetric
profile can beused for services like Video streaming or IPsurveillance services which require
high traffic flow in an uni-direction configuration.
3. GINP - Retransmission mode that provides enhanced protection against impulse noise or to
increase the efficiency of providing impulse noise protection (INP).
4. Interleaved - Interleaved mode has a slower transfer rate and increase latency in exchange
for error correction. A general line setting mode that provides common impulse noise
protection.
5. Max Data Rate Downstream/ Upstream -This parameter specifies the maximum net data
rate for the bearer channel as desired by the operator of the system. The data rate is coded
in steps of 1000 bit/s (G.997.1).
6. Target SNR Margin Downstream/ Upstream setting -This is the Noise Margin the xTU-
R/C receiver shall achieve, relative to the BER requirement for each of the downstream
bearer channels, or better, to successfully complete initialization. (G.997.1)
7. Special Profile Setting (Dip2: Off, Dip3: On, Dip4: On) is for application of near end
distance or poor environment, Target SNR Margin is set to high value of 24dB and rate limit
at 20Mbps to ensure channel stability. In addition, band 0 to 2.2MHz is disable to avoid
possible effects by low frequency. Because this item is set to 30a profile, so its train up time
is about 15sec to 20sec.
8. Profile Setting (Dip2: On, Dip3: On, Dip4: On) is standard profile Annex A 17a-eu32.

defined where both these conditions apply:
▪Access is through the use of a lock or tool and key, or other means of security, and is
controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
▪Access can only be gained by service persons or by users who have been instructed
about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions
that shall be taken.

regulations.
●Do not work on the system, connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity.
Note:
●To reduce potential safety issues, only the AC Adapter provided with the product, a
replacement AC Adapter provided by agency, or an AC adapter purchased as an
accessory from agency should be used with the product.
