Chapter 2. Installing the Modem
2.1 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to install the modem, and establish the network connections. The XL-GFC142SR may be
installed on any level surface (e.g. a table or shelf). However, please take note of the following minimum site
requirements before you begin.
2.2 Pre-installation Requirements
Before you start the actual hardware installation, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including
power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected.
Verify the following installation requirements:
Power requirements: DC 12 V / 2A orabove
The modem should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10cm of space at the front and back for
ventilation.
Place the modem away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or areas with a high amount of electromagnetic
interference.
Check if the network cables and connectors needed for installation areavailable.
Do not install phone lines strapped together withAC power lines, or telephone office line with voice signal.
Avoid installing this device with radio amplifying stations nearby or transformer stations nearby.

2.3 General Rules
Before making any connections to the modem, please note the following rules:
Ethernet Port interface : RJ-45
All network connections to the modem Ethernet port must be made using Category 5e UTP/STP or above
for 1000 Mbps, Category 5 UTP or above for 100Mbps Category 3, 4 UTP or above for 10Mbps.
No more than 100 meters of cabling may be use between the MUX or HUB and an end node.
G.fast Port interface : RJ-11 & Terminal block combo
All network connections to the RJ-11/ terminal block(sharing port) must use 24~26 gauge with single
twisted pair phone wire.
We do not recommend the usage of the other gauge phone wire.
The RJ-11 is an 6P4C connector, two of which are wired. The modem uses the center two pins. The pin out
assignment for these connectors is presented below.
Please note that the line port is no polarity, therefore user can reverse the two wires of the phone cable
when installed. RJ-11 Pin out Assignments

2.4 Connecting the RJ-11 / RJ-45 Ports
There are two type line: 1 Terminal Block & 1 RJ-11 connector. It is used to connect with DPU Master side over asingle
pair phone wire to CPE Slave side (point to point application). (Figure 2.1)
Figure 2.1 line ports straight connection
When inserting a RJ-11 plug, make sure the tab on the
plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly
seated.
Do not plug a RJ-11 phone jack connector into the
Ethernet port (RJ-45 port). This may damage the
modem. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables withRJ-45
connectors that conform to Ethernetstandard.
Notes:
1. Be sure each twisted-pair cable (RJ-45 Ethernet cable)
does not exceed 100 meters.
2. We advise using Category 5~7 UTP/STP cables for
making Ethernet connections to avoid any confusion or
inconvenience in the future when you attach high
bandwidth devices.
3. Use 24 ~ 26 gauge twisted pair phone wiring, we do not
recommend the usage of the other gauge phonewire.
4. Be sure phone wire has been installed before the
modems boot (before their synchronisation)
5. Do not connect Line port with RJ-11 and Terminal block
to two Master / Slave device

2.5 Point to Point application
First a quick overview on a complete setup of LAN extender Master/Slave LAN extender.
XL-GFC142 is a LAN extender leverages the extraordinary bandwidth promise of G.fast technology(max. 1Gbps)
(Figure 2.2)

11
2.5.1 Connect the XL-GFC142M (DPU Master) and the XL-GFC142SR (CPE Slave) to the Line
The objective for LAN extender is to pass high speed data over a twisted pair cable. In the setup, connect DPU Master to
CPE Slave through phone wire (24~26 AWG) or line simulator or any other hardware representation of a cable network, with
or without noise injection and crosstalk simulations.
2.5.2 Connect the XL-GFC142M (DPU Master) and the XL-GFC142SR (CPE Slave) to LAN Devices
In the setup, usually an Ethernet tester serves as a representation of the LAN side as well as a representation of the WAN(Line)
side.
2.5.3 Run Demos and Tests
The Ethernet tester may send data downstream as well as upstream. It also receives the data in order to check the integrity of the
data transmission. Different data rates can be tested under different line conditions

Note :
1. Identifing DPU (Master) or CPE (Slave) is by Master LED, when this LEDOn(steady) indicates
firmware Model as XL-GFC142M, and LED Off indicates firmware Model as XL-GFC142SR.
2. If want to change DPU to CPE Model, just update firmware to right mode. The reverse is also do the same
step. Fireware update menu please refer to administration webpage on page30.
3. Please click default reset menu on administration webpage after model firmware updating.

Before user installed power and device, please read and follow these essentials:
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the
wires are perpendicular at the intersectionpoint.
Note:
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb
is that wiring sharing similar electrical characteristics can be bundledtogether.
You should separate input wiring from outputwiring.
We recommend that you mark all equipment in the wiringsystem.
Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
