2. Hardware Introduction

2.1 Extender Front Panel

The front panel of the Industrial Ethernet Extender consists of Ethernet, VDSL2 interfaces and LED indicators.

■ Front View

Figure 1: IVC-234GT/IVC-234GPT Front View

IVC-234GT Ethernet Interfaces

Gigabit Ethernet TP interfaces (Port 1 to port 4)

10/100/1000BASE-T copper, RJ45 twisted-pair: Up to 100 meters.

IVC-234GPT Ethernet Interfaces

Gigabit Ethernet 802.3at PoE+ TP interfaces (Port 1 to port 4)

10/100/1000BASE-T copper, RJ45 twisted-pair: Up to 100 meters.

IVC-234GT/IVC-234GPT VDSL2 Interfaces

One RJ11 female phone jack and one BNC female connector for VDSL2 with the VDSL2 Super Vector 35b profile.

VDSL Port BNC/RJ11 DIP Switch

One DIP switch for RJ11 female phone jack and one BNC female connector for better VDSL2 transmission performance.

Mode	DIP Switch
	Description
RJ11	Choose this mode when using RJ11 VDSL2 transmission for better performance.
BNC (Default)	Choose this mode when using BNC VDSL2 transmission for better performance.

VDSL DIP Switch

The Industrial Ethernet Extender provides 4 selective transmission modes. By switching to a transmission mode, it can optimize transmission based on the quality and distance of your coaxial cable or phone line. The following is the summary table of transmission setting, bandwidth and distance.

	DIP-1 DIP-2 DIP-3 DIP-4
	Mode Transmission Band Profile		SNR Margin
OFF CO G.INP Asymmetric 12dB
ON (Default)	CPE	Interleave	Symmetric	8dB

> DIP-1: Mode (CO/CPE)

Note

By default, the four DIP switches, set at the "ON" position, are operated as "CPE". For operating as "CO", please turn DIP 1 Switch to the "OFF" position. Then adjust the other DIP switches accordingly to fulfill different network application demands.

CO

(Central Office)

The Master device mode, usually the CO device, is located at the data center of ISP or enterprise to link to the backbone.

CPE

(Customer

Premises

Equipment)

The Slave device mode, usually the CPE device, is located at a branch office or remote side as the long reach data receiver. The CPE can be connected to the PC, IP camera or wireless access point or other network devices.

Note

When the Industrial Ethernet Extender operates in CPE mode, DIP switches 2, 3, and 4 are out of function.

DIP-2: Transmission (G. INP and Interleave mode)

G. INP	Method of protection against bursts from other devices or lines to impact your xDSL line.
Interleave	Method of error correction used on xDSL line. Interleave requires additional latency to improve resilience to burst of error.

> DIP-3: Band Profile (Asymmetric/Symmetric)

Asymmetric	Asymmetric mode provides more bandwidth than the other side. This mode provides the highest bandwidth in short range.
Symmetric	With G.997 band plan supported, symmetric mode can provide almost the same rate of downstream and upstream.

DIP-4:SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) Margin

When the SNR margin is selected, the system provides 12dB/8dB SNR margin for all usable loop lengths. Better channel noise protection is made with the higher SNR margin.

Please power off the Industrial Ethernet Extender before making any transmission mode adjustment.

PoE Power Usage LED (IVC-234GPT Only)

The front panel of the IVC-234GPT has four Gigabit Ethernet 802.3at PoE+ ports, and four LEDs which indicate PoE Power Usages of 30W, 60W, 90W and 120W. With these LED indications, you can monitor the current PoE power-in-use status of the IVC-234GPT easily and efficiently.

Figure 2: IVC-234GT Upper Panel

Figure 3: IVC-234GPT Upper Panel

2.4 Wiring the Power Inputs

The 6-contact terminal block connector on the top panel of Industrial Ethernet Extender is used for two redundant power inputs. Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.

Caution

When performing any of the procedures like inserting the wires or tightening the wire-clamp screws, make sure the power is OFF to prevent from getting an electric shock.

1. Insert positive and negative DC power wires into contacts 1 and 2 for POWER 1, or contacts 5 and 6 for POWER 2.

V1+ V1- V2+ V2-
PWR1 PWR2

1. Tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the wires from loosening.

123456

Power 1 Alarm Power 2

V+V-V+V-

Caution

1. PWR1 and PWR2 must provide the same DC voltage for power load balance while operating with dual power input.
2. IVC-234GT use one power input when using 24V AC.

2.5 Wiring the Faulty Alarm Contact

The faulty alarm contacts are in the middle of the terminal block connector as the picture shows below. Inserting the wires, the Industrial Ethernet Extender will detect the fault status of the power failure and then forms an open circuit. The following illustration shows an application example for wiring the faulty alarm contacts.

Insert the wires into the fault alarm contacts

Note

1. The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range of 12 24AWG .
2. Alarm relay circuit accepts up to 24V, max. 1A currents.

2.6 Grounding the Device

Users MUST complete grounding wired with the device; otherwise, a sudden lightning could cause fatal damage to the device.
