Introduction
Versa Technology’s VX-VEB160G4 (V3) is a Lite Industrial Grade 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 VX-VEB160G4 (V3) is equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet Ports
(RJ-45 connector) and one VDSL2 port (RJ-45 connector or 2-PIN Terminal Block) in metal
enclosure for easy installation in harsh environment. There are 8 different profile settings
which can be flexibly selected via DIP switch 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 VX-VEB160G4 (V3) supports
transparent LAN bridging to extend Ethernet service over UTP, Cat 5+ or Coaxial cables.
Versa Technology’s VX-VEB160G4 (V3) has superior performance in its category. It is the

1.4 Installation Procedure
The solution works in pairs for point to point connectivity. One unit must be configured as
Master (OT) while the other unit must be configured as Remote (RT) by using DIP Switch.
●STEP 1:
Set the LAN extender to CO mode or CPE mode from the DIP Switch at the front panel. For
Point to Point applications, one unit must be Master (CO mode) and the other one is Slave
(CPE mode).
●STEP 2:
Connect the LAN extender (CPE) with a regular Cat. 5 cable to the LAN port from a PC or
another device on LAN.
●STEP 3:
Power on LAN extender (CPE) by connecting the power adapter.
●STEP 4:
Connect the CPE and CO via a regular Cat. 5 cable or a telephone wire from each VDSL2
port.
●STEP 5:
Connect the LAN extender (CO) with a regular Cat. 5 cable to the LAN port and then connect
the other end of the RJ45 cable to the service equipment.
●STEP 6:
Power on LAN extender (CO) by connecting the power adapter and then observe the status
of VDSL link LED.

4-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, the DIP Switches support 8 different profile
settings for different applications and environments.

Remote
(RT)
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.
Description of Setting
1. Symmetrical profile - Downstream and upstream rate are symmetrical.
2. Asymmetrical profile - Downstream and upstream rate are asymmetrical. Asymmetric
profile can be used for services like Video streaming or IP surveillance 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.

Precautions and Safety Warnings
●Disconnect all power from devices before attempting installation.
●This device is intended for installation only in restricted access locations as
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.
●All electric installations must be carried out in accordance with local and national regulations.
●Do not work on the system, connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
●The equipment must be connected to earth.
●Shield of RJ-45 cables has to be connected to the same earth potential as the
equipment.
●If the VDSL interface is used for the connection between two buildings, all necessary
protective measures must be ensured externally.
●This equipment relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent)
protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 1A is used.
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.
