The VCL-ETH-FE1 Interface Converter (Desktop
Version) provides the user with Ethernet over E1
conversion enabling the user to transport Ethernet
data over an E1 link.
The equipment can be installed and used in pairs, with
one terminal being installed at either end of the
network. This equipment can also be used with VCL-
ETH-8-ML and VCL-ETH-16-ML (8E1/16E1 ponit-to-
point IP over TDM product) to meet various application
requirements.
The VCL-ETH-FE1 Interface Converter is an Ethernet extension device utilizing TDM telecom
infrastructure (the telecom network of E1s, or of PDH, SDH and E1/E3/SDH microwave etc. carrying
E1s). It converts the Ethernet data into E1 frame format for transmission over the existing TDM (E1)
links and then re-converts the E1 back into Ethernet data the far-end terminal, to BRIDGE two Ethernet
LANs over the existing E1-based telecom network. The device can effectively utilize the redundant
bandwidth of telecom operators' existing TDM network to transport Ethernet data with low investment.
The equipment may be used for the following purposes:
Bridging Ethernet LANs over existing TDM (E1) telecom network.
Extending Ethernet networks utilizing TDM (E1) landline based telecom infrastructure.
Using telecom network of E1s/PDH/SDH microwave etc. carrying E1s to transport Ethernet data.

Grounding
-7.
Please ensure that the error code rate each of the E1 circuits connecting to the equipment is
lower than 10
The transmission time delay difference between the various E1 circuits shall not exceed 8ms.
The Ethernet wire type shall be, crossover when connecting with PC, and straight through when
connecting to an Ethernet switch/HUB. The length of the Ethernet cable shall not exceed 100m.
When the device is used with the AC~220V power supply, the 3-core socket must be grounded
for protection.
The other equipment connected with the converter shall also be grounded to earth for protection.

Installation
Step 1:
Step 2:
Power up the equipment. Please ensure that equipment is powered-up prior to connecting
the Ethernet and the E1 links.
Connect E1 line on the premise that transmission device, interface converter and
Ethernet converter have safely grounded.
BER test may be conducted on each E1 link using a BERT tester to ensure that the E1
errors are within the permitted limits / threshold.
E
Step 3:
Step 4:
Please configure the Ethernet mode of the Ethernet over E1 equipment at both sides as
well as the thernet interfaces of the devices that are connected to the Ethernet over E1
equipment. Connect the ethernet links.
The equipment is used to bridge two LANs. Please ensure that the LANs on both sides of
the link are operating in the same IP domain.
Ping over the Ethernet connection from one side to the other (near-end to the far-end) to
verify that the Ethernet connection has been established between the two LANs.
After succeeding in "ping", the user may also check the integrity of each E1 link by connecting E1 link
and then transporting Ethernet data over that E1 link. In the event that the equipment resets repeatedly
or lots of frame errors are noticed, recheck the connection between E1 cable and interface converter,
or E1 cable and transmission device.
