The Modem should be located in a cool dry place with at least 10cm of space at the front and back for ventilation. Place the switch out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a high amount of electromagnetic interference.
The IP DSLAM has 2 X 10/100/1000 Mbps Giga Ethernet ports. Support full or half-duplex operation and transmission mode is using auto-negotiation. All network devices connected to the switch must support auto- negotiation. Devices without auto-negotiation will operate at half- duplex.
Networking devices can be installed on a single telephone wire that can span up to maximum of 1.7km between the two points. SP3508A has embedded Splitter between every VDSL side (VDSL Line) and POTS side (POTS port). It permits user to deliver broadband service on the same lines as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), PBX, ISDN traffic and VDSL Signal.

VDSL Switch and nodes. If the switch is connected to a device with GVRP enabled, users can send a GVRP request using the VID of a VLAN defined on the switch, the switch will automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.
2. Power on both devices. 3. The device will start auto-speed function after SP3501AS re-boot. 4. SP3508A will try 25M mode to link with SP3501AS, if fail, auto speed down to 15M mode and re-link with SP3501AS. If fails again, auto- speed down to 5M and keep this mode then re-link with SP3501AS.
System Priority Group ID Description A value used to identify the active LACP. The VDSL Switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP. Users can create a link aggregation across two or more ports.
LACP Work Ports Click <Apply> to activate the setting. 5.7.2 Aggregator Information When users are setting LACP aggregator, related information will be displayed in this interface. This page is Actor and Partner trunking one group with port 1 to port 1. 5.7.3 State Activity A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform dynamic LACP trunking.

Query: A message sent from the queries (IGMP router or SP3508A) asking for a response from each host belonging to the multicast group. Description The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
5.8.2 Static MAC Address When users add a static MAC address, it remains in the SP3508A’s address table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch.
<Submit> to apply the changes on this page. 5.8.4 MAC Filtering MAC address filtering allows the SP3508A to drop unwanted traffic. Traffic is filtered based on the destination addresses. For example, if the network is congested because of high utilization from one MAC address, users can filter...
Port-based Tagging rule VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different SP3508A venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the...
VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol. VDSL Switch will support protocol- based VLAN classification by means of both built-in knowledge of layer 2 packet formats used by selected popular protocols, such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk’s EtherTalk, and some degree of programmable protocol matching...
5.9.2 Port VID The interface sets the Port VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged traffic on a given port. For example, if port 10's Default PVID is 100, all untagged packets on port 10 will belong to VLAN 100. The default setting for all ports is VID 1.

Flexible Configuration The SP3508A is not only designed to segment the network, but also to provide a wide range of options in the configuration of home network connections. It can be used as a simple stand-alone VDSL Switch or can be connected with another VDSL Switch, Cable modem, Router, XDSL, ISDN, gateway or other network interconnection devices in various configurations.
Verify the cables are connected properly on both ends. Verify the proper cable is used and the distant does not exceed the specified limit. Phone wire must be connected between SP3508A and VDSL modem prior to powering on of devices. Replace the defective cable or modem if necessary.
Appendix C: System Diagnostics 7.3.1 Power and Cooling Problems If the POWER indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, users may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply as explained in the previous section. However, if the unit should turn itself off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power loss or surges at the power outlet, and verify that the fan on back of the unit is unobstructed and running prior to shutdown.
7.3.6 System Integrity As a last resort verify the SP3508A integrity with a power-on reset. Turn the power to the SP3508A off and then on several times. If the problem still persists and you have completed all the preceding diagnoses, contact your...
