1.3 FCC PART 68 The Model ME0011A-vDSL is not intended to be connected to the public telephone network. Caution This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Please note the following: — The required Universal Service Order code (USOC) jack: RJ-11C The REN helps you determine the number of devices you can con- nect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring...
3. If your ME0010A-VdSL causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance, but if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible and will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Figure 1. Typical application The units work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs. POTS/ISDN calls can be made over a VDSL link without interfering with the data. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to-point application using ME0010A-vDSL units.
2. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.4, “Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 12). 3. Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.6, “Connecting Power” on page 14). ME0010A-vDSL ME0011A-vDSL t h e t h e / I S...
3.3 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE The ME0011A-vDSL supports communication between two peer Ethernet LAN sites over a distance of up to 6,652 ft (2.03 km) over 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire. Note Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on the environment and type/gauge of wire used.
The terminal block connector on the ME0011A-vDSL's twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin relationships is shown in Figure 5. t h e RING Figure 5. ME0011A-vDSL (Terminal Block) twisted pair line interface. 3.4 CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE The shielded RJ-45 port labeled Ethernet is the 10/100Base-T interface.
Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub The ME0011A-vDSL 10/100Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), just like a 10/100Base-T network interface card in a PC. Therefore, it “expects” to connect to a 10/100Base-T Hub using a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
The RJ-45 connector in the model ME0010A-vDSL’s POTS/ISDN interface is wired as shown in Figure 9. 1 (no connection) 2 (no connection) 3 (no connection) 4 (2-wire RING) 5 (2-wire TIP) 6 (no connection) 7 (no connection) 8 (no connection) Figure 9.
4.0 CONFIGURATION The ME0011A-vDSL has four DIP switches for configuring the unit for a wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and explains the different configurations. 4.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE DIP SWITCHES Using a small flat-tip screwdriver, remove the protective cover located on the underside of the ME0011A-vDSL (see Figure 10) Figure 10.

4.2 CONFIGURING DIP SWITCH S1 DIP switch S1 is where you configure the VDSL line rate, symmetric or asymmetric, Ethernet full auto sense capability (100BaseT full or half duplex, 10BaseT full or half duplex) or limited auto sense (only 100BaseT half duplex, 10BaseT full or half duplex). Table 1 summarizes default positions of DIP switches S1-1 through S1-4.
5.0 OPERATION Once the ME0011A-vDSLs are properly installed, they should operate transparently. No user settings required. This section describes reading the LED status monitors. 5.1 POWER UP Before applying power to the ME0011A-vDSL, please review section 3.6, “Connecting Power” on page 14 to verify that the unit is connected to the appropriate power source.
