1.1 Checklist Check the contents of your package for following parts: Ethernet over VDSL Converter User's manual Power cord Telephone line If any of these pieces are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immediately, if possible, retain the carton including the original packing material, and use them against to repack the product in case there is a need to return it to us for repair.
1.2 Introduction To Ethernet over VDSL Converter General Description The converter is a switching architecture with four RJ45 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switching ports and one 10Mbps RJ11 symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (symmetry means 10Mbps upstream and 10Mbps downstream data rate). it is ideal for signal conversion by transmitting the Ethernet data from the standard twisted pair cable to the telephone cable and extending the distance.

central side. If you want to setup one pair of converters for point-to-point connection then one set must be client mode and the other one is master mode. The cable specifications of the connection are listed as following: 10BASE-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP 100BASE-TX, Category 5 UTP Ethernet over VDSL, Twisted-pair telephone wires The two drawings listed below are typical application for...
1.3 Key Features The converter provides the following key features: Complies with IEEE802.3 10BASE-T standard Complies with IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX standard Supports Ethernet over VDSL Two RJ11 connectors for Ethernet over VDSL port, one for LAN connection and one for voice connection. Supports one 10Mbps symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port Based on different phone line quality, the distance...
2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION This product series provide 2 RJ-11 ports for voice connection (like telephone) and for network line connection. This product series also provide 4 RJ-45 ports for two different running speed –10Mbps, 100Mbps, in the same converter and automatically distinguish the speed of incoming connection.

The connected device’s power are off The port’s cable is not firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the associated device. The connecting cable is not good or is not with correct type The connecting device, including any network adapter is not functional.
Frequency of collisions is an indicator of heavy traffic on the network. Mode slide switch* (for EV-401M only) It provides 10M upstream and 10M downstream. It will extend up to 1.2km (4000ft) with AWG 26(0.4mm) telephone wire. The distance will change by the quality of cable.

Power Notice: 1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.
3. INSTALLING AND USING ETHERNET OVER VDSL CONVERTER 3.1 Install the Ethernet Over VDSL Converter Converter does configuration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product simply by attached the cables and plug power on. There is some key limitation on the Ethernet over VDSL converter.
Therefore, most of the traffic will be limited on the local phone line network instead of flooding to the Internet. Another application for the converter is used for LAN to LAN extension through the normal telephone line. 3.2 LAN to LAN connection Two sets of the converters could be used to link two local Area networks that are located in different areas.
Water or moisture can not enter the unit Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted (company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25mm inch clearance) To prolong the operational life of your units: Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case 3.4 Installing Network Cables...

Therefore, the content of the MAC table will update dynamically. 4.2 Filtering and Forwarding When one packet comes in from any port of the switch, it will check the destination address besides the source address learning. The switch will look up the address table for the destination address.
