Preface ix
Preface
Congratulations on your purchase from the VES-1000 Series of VDSL-Ethernet Switches.
This guide shows you how to set up the hardware for your VES-1000 Series Switch.
About VDSL
VDSL (Very high bit rate Digital Subscriber Line) is one type of DSL with very high data rates. The service can
be asymmetrical or symmetrical and can be used on the same wire as the POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service)
network and ISDN.
About the VES-1000 Series
The VES-1000 Series of VDSL-Ethernet Switches delivers high-performance broadband access at low cost to
multi-tenant unit (MTU) buildings (hotels, motels, resorts, residential multi-dwelling units, office buildings,
university campuses, etc.) and public facilities, such as convention centers, airports, plazas, and train stations. It
attains speeds ranging from 1.56 Mbps to 16.67 Mbps upstream and 4.17 Mbps to 16.67 Mbps downstream at
distances of up to 1.5 Km (5,000 feet) delivered over ordinary telephone lines.
There are currently two models in the VES-1000 Series of Ethernet Switches. The compact VES-1008 (one rack-
unit (1U) high) can be mounted on a wall or placed on a rack. It has built-in voice-signal splitters for added system
stability. In addition to remote management capability, a console port is used for local management. This 8-port
switch is equipped with VLAN (Virtual LAN) capability that can isolate each port. You can connect up to 8
subscriber devices such as VDSL converters to this switch (ports 1 to 8). The VES-1012 extends on the flexibility
of the VES-1008 as it provides 12 ports that allow for the connection of up to 12 individual subscribers.
This hardware installation guide caters for both models.
Syntax Conventions
“Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and press the carriage return. “Select” or “Choose” means
for you to select one from the predefined choices.
For brevity’s sake, we will use “e.g.” as shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.” as shorthand for “that is” or “in
other words” throughout this manual.
Unless specified, images of the VES-1012 are used throughout this document. The VES-1008 has 8 available
Ethernet ports however the images used in this User’s Guide show the 12 available ports that are featured on the
VES-1012. Images that directly relate to the VES-1008 are used when referring to the key differences between
the two models.
