Product Overview

The Ethernet Extender Kit consists of x2 Ethernet VDSL2 Transmitter/Receiver units. Either unit can be used at either end of your configuration (transmitting end or receiving end), however the DIP switch settings should be modified according to your specific needs based on direction of traffic.

By default, all DIP Switch settings on each of the two units are set to the downward (OFF) position.

See the DIP Switch and Mode Settings section for more information.

Installation

Hardware Installation

One of the Ethernet Extender Kits units should be considered a "Transmitting Unit", while the other should be considered a "Receiver Unit."

Transmitter Unit

1. Place one of the units at the local location, this unit will act as the Transmitter Unit.
2. Connect the provided power adapter from an AC electrical outlet to the DC Power Input on the Transmitter Unit. The "PWR" LED should light up solid.
3. Set all four of the DIP switches to the downward (OFF) position. This places the Transmitter Unit in CO mode (Central Office Mode).
4. Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 Port on the Transmitter Unit.
5. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into your Ethernet network device (e.g., Ethernet switch, modem, etc.). The "ETH" LED should light up solid.
6. Connect an RJ11 phone cable into the RJ11 VDSL Port on the Transmitter Unit.
7. Connect the opposite end of the RJ11 cable to the RJ11 VDSL Port on the Receiver Unit (or to your building's RJ11 phone line infrastructure, depending on your setup).

Optional: Configure DIP switches 2 through 4 as necessary (see the "DIP Switch and Mode Settings" section).

Receiver Unit

1. Place the second unit at the remote location; this unit will act as the Receiver Unit.
2. Connect the provided power adapter from an AC electrical outlet to the DC Power Input on the Receiver Unit. The "PWR" LED should light up solid.
3. Set DIP switch #1 to the upward (ON) position, with the remaining 3 DIP switches set to the downward (OFF) position. This places the Receiver Unit in CPE mode (Customer Premises Equipment Mode).
4. If not previously completed, connect the RJ11 cable that was inserted into the RJ11 VDSL Port on the Transmitter Unit directly to the RJ11 VDSL Port on the Receiver Unit (or from your building's existing RJ11 analog telephone wiring, depending on the setup from step 7 above).
5. If the Transmitter and Receiver Units are able to successfully communicate with each other, the "DSL" LED should flash slowly, then quickly while establishing a connection, and eventually light up solid. The "DSL" LED will continue to flash when there is activity between the Transmitter and Receiver Unit.
6. Connect your Ethernet network device (e.g., Ethernet switch, modem, etc.) to the RJ45 Port on the Receiver Unit. The "ETH" LED should light up solid.

Optional: Configure DIP switches 2 through 4 as necessary (see the "DIP Switch and Mode Settings" section).

DIP Switch and Mode Settings

The Ethernet Extender Kit units have a 4-position DIP switch for configuration of CO/CPE, Profile, Band, and SNR.

By default, all DIP switch settings for both units are set to the downward "OFF" position.

DIP1 DIP2 DIP3 DIP4

Function	CO/CPE Mode	Profile Mode	Band Mode	SNR Target
ON CPE 17a Symmetric 6dB
OFF CO 30a Asymmetric 9dB

For initial setup, DIP switch 1 is usually set to the downward (OFF) position, ensuring the unit is set to CO mode, set the 2nd unit to CPE mode by setting DIP switch 1 to the upward (ON) position.

When using the Ethernet Extender Kit, one end (Transmitter or Receiver) must always be set to "CO" (Central Office), mode, while the opposite end must always be set to "CPE" (Customer Premises Equipment) mode.

To ensure the Ethernet Extender Kit operates as intended with no problems, errors, or disruptions, DIP switch settings 2 through 4 should be set to the same position on both your Transmitter and Receiver Units.

CO or CPE Mode

Setting each unit to CO or CPE mode is usually based on which direction you want the most bandwidth delivered. "Download" bandwidth, data sent from CO to CPE, is generally higher than "Upload" bandwidth from CPE to CO.

If you need higher bandwidth from the Transmitter Unit to the Receiver Unit, set DIP switch 1 to the downward (OFF) position at the transmitting end and the upward (ON) position at the receiving end.

If you need higher bandwidth from the Receiver Unit to the Transmitter Unit, set DIP switch 1 to the upward (ON) position at the receiving end, and the downward (OFF) position at the transmitting end.

Profile Mode

Profile Mode is the VDSL2 profile, 17a or 30a, with 30a allowing higher bandwidth at longer distances. Set this DIP switch to the upward (ON) position for 17a, or the downward (OFF) position for 30a, depending on your network requirements and preferences.

Band Mode

Band Mode places the unit in either Symmetric or Asymmetric mode. Set this DIP switch to the upward (ON) position for Symmetric mode, with both downstream and upstream transmissions operating on the G.997 band plan, or set to the downward (OFF) position for Asymmetric mode, with asymmetric short range transmissions operating at the highest available line rate.

SNR Target

SNR Target can be set for the unit to operate with ratios up to 6 or 9 dB. Set this DIP switch to the upward (ON) position for a SNR ratio up to 6dB, or to the downward (OFF) position for a SNR ratio up to 9dB.
