  • Page 7: Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

    This section describes the hardware features and installation of these Switches. For easier management and control of the switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators. Before connecting any network device to the switch, read this chapter carefully.
  • Page 8 IN port should connect to the other switch’s OUT port and the OUT port should connect to other switch’s IN out. You can just use normal Cat 5 or better cable with RJ-45 connector to stack. Only straight-through UTP/STP cable can be used. There is no Duplex Mode issue and the maximum distance between first and last switch is 800m.
  • Page 9 Wiring for VDSL ports The VDSL port of VC-1602 uses one RJ-21 (Telco 50) connector to connect up to 16 VDSL converters (VC-102S, VC-101S or Cisco LRE modem) through structured or unstructured wiring, such as existing telephone lines. The link between the VDSL switch port and each converter can reach speeds of up to 15/17 Mbps over distances of up to 5000 feet (1500 meters).
  • Page 10: Rear Panel

    2.2 Rear Panel The rear panel of the switch indicates an AC inlet power socket, which accepts input power from 100 to 240VAC, 50-60Hz, one RS-232 console port for setting up the switch via a connection to a terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program, and two slide-in slots for installing additional modules.
