This guide shows you how to set up the hardware for your VES-1012. About the VES-1012 The VES-1012 is a VDSL (Very high bit rate Digital Subscriber Line) to Ethernet switch. The VES-1012 multiplexes traffic from 12 VDSL subscribers into two 10/100M Ethernet ports that connect to a WAN network via a WAN switch.
A tenant connects a computer to the phone line in a unit using a VDSL modem. The other end of the phone line is connected to a port on the VES-1012. The VES-1012 aggregates the traffic from the tenants to the Ethernet port and forwards it to a router or switch.
Figure 1-1 VES-1012 Building Deployment Example 1.1.2 Enterprise Application The VES-1012 can also be used in any-sized company to multiplex employee VDSL connections to the Internet. Multiplex up to 32 VDSL connections using a hub or use a switch to multiplex more. VES-1012 Applications...

Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains. • Make sure the position of the VES-1012 does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.
2.4.1 Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the VES-1012 Position a mounting bracket on one side of the VES-1012, lining up the four screw holes on the bracket Step 1. with the screw holes on the side of the unit (see the figure shown next).
VES-1012 Hardware Installation Guide Figure 2-2 Mounting the VES-1012 on a Rack Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, install the M5 flat head screws through the mounting bracket holes into Step 2. the rack. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to attach the second mounting bracket on the other side of the rack.
Overview The following figure gives an overview of an installation. Data and voice signals can coexist on the same telephone lines as the VES-1012 has built-in splitters. Figure 3-1 Installation Overview You can also attach RJ-11 connectors to the Telco cable and connect directly to a P841 VDSL modem(s) or patch panel.
MDF (see the previous figure). Some MDFs have surge protection circuitry built in between the two banks. Do not connect telephone wires from the telephone company directly to the VES-1012. Use a punch-down tool to seat telephone lines into MDF blocks.
VES-1012 for data-access only. No connection from the Telco-50 CO port is necessary. You may connect using an MDF or attach RJ-11 connectors to the non-VES-1012 side of the Telco cable and then connect to a VDSL modem directly.
VES-1012 Hardware Installation Guide Connect the wiring on the other side of the Telco-50 cable to the upper ports of the MDF using a punch- Step 3. down tool. Connect the telephone wiring from each end-user’s VDSL modem to the lower ports of the MDF.

Connect the Telco-50 connector end of the cable you want for VDSL service to the Telco-50 port Step 3. labeled USER on the VES-1012 front panel. Connect the wiring on the other side of the Telco-50 cable to the upper ports of MDF 3 using a punch- Step 4.
VES-1012 Hardware Installation Guide 3.4.3 Installation Scenario C Phone service is also available but there are two MDFs; one for end-user telephone line connections and the other one for CO telephone line connections (see next figure). Users have telephone (only) service.
For voice service, connect the Telco-50 connector end of the Telco cable you want for voice service to Step 7. the Telco-50 port labeled CO on the VES-1012 front panel. Connect the wiring on the other side of the Telco-50 cable to the lower ports of MDF 4 using a punch- Step 8.
Figure 4-1 The VES-1012 Rear Panel Connect the female end of the power cord to the power receptacle on the rear panel of your VES-1012 (just to the right of the warning sticker) as seen next. Connect the other end of the cord to a power outlet. Make sure that no objects obstruct the airflow of the fans (located on the side of the unit).
VES-1012 Hardware Installation Guide Front Panel Connections Console port, VDSL and WAN Ethernet switch connections are made on the front panel of the VES-1012. The following figure shows the front panel connections of the VES-1012. A more detailed discussion follows.
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) and ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network). The line from the user carries both the VDSL and voice signals. For each line, the VES-1012 has a built-in splitter that separates the high frequency VDSL signal from the voice band signal and feeds the VDSL signal to the VES-1012, while the voice band signal is diverted to the CO (Central Office) port.
4.2.3 WAN Port (Ethernet) Connections Connect ports 13 and 14 of the VES-1012 to a WAN (Gigabyte or Fiber) Ethernet switch using straight-through Category 5 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables with RJ-45 connectors. You may stack VES-1012 switches up to the number of ports available on the WAN switch.
VES-1012 Hardware Installation Guide Figure 4-6 Stacking the VES-1012 If ports on the WAN switch are limited, then daisy-chain VES-1012 switches before connecting to the WAN switch. Use crossover cables to connect the downlink ports and a straight-through cable (as described above) to connect the uplink port.
Make sure you can feel and/or hear the fans working — working fans emit a low buzz and blow air. The fans are located on the VES-1012 as shown next. Refer to the Hardware Troubleshooting chapter to test the fans if they are not working.
VES-1012 Hardware Installation Guide VES-1012 Front Panel LEDs The following figure shows the front panel of the VES-1012. LEDs describe the operational status of your VES- 1012. Please also refer to the Troubleshooting chapter to see how LEDs may aid in troubleshooting.
This chapter explains how to troubleshoot VES-1012 hardware. Refer also to the Troubleshooting chapter in the User’s Guide . System Startup When you turn on the VES-1012, it automatically runs a self-test that takes approximately 20 seconds. The SYS LED will remain on if your VES-1012 has started normally. 6.1.1...
3 if the problem is with the fans and step 4 if the voltages are out of the allowed ranges. If the unit is overheated, turn it off and wait for it to cool down. Ensure the VES-1012 is installed in a well- ventilated area and that normal operation of the fans is not inhibited.
A. Test A determines if there is a wiring problem between the CO and MDF 1. B. Test B determines if there is a wiring problem between the CO Telco port on the VES-1012 and MDF 2. C. Test C determines if there is a wiring problem between the USER Telco port on the VES-1012 and MDF 3.
If the problem remains, check the pin assignments of the CO Telco connector. If the problem remains, then the VES-1012 or MDF 2 is faulty. Repeat the test in step A using MDF 2 to determine if MDF 2 has problems. Contact the telephone company if that is the case.
The VES-1012 uses two 250V-3A fuses. The VES-1012 comes with four 250V-3A fuses; two are installed at the factory (in the fuse housing), while the two are spares that come with your VES-1012. If you need to install new fuses, follow the procedure below.
