n DIP-1: Mode (CO/CPE) CO (Central Office) – the Master device mode, usually the CO device will be located at the data center of ISP or enterprise to link to the backbone. CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) – the Slave device mode, usually the CPE device will be located at branch office, home or remote side as the long reach data receiver.
1. By default, the four DIP switch are at “ON” position that will operate as “CPE”. For operate as “CO”, please adjust the DIP 1 switch at “OFF” position. Then adjust other DIP switch accordingly to fulfill different network applica- tion demand.
Slave device) and allows data and voice work on the same telephone lines. DCE 5201V-BM provides one RJ-11 connector for VDSL port and the port can build VDSL2 connection easily. For voice device connection, the additional splitter from 5201V-BM package is an idea choice.
3.1.1 DCE 5401V-BM LAN to LAN connection Two sets of the Ethernet over VDSL2 Converters / Bridge could be used to link two local Area networks that are located in different place. Through the normal telephone line, it could setup a 100/100Mbps symmetric backbone, but one Ethernet over VDSL2 Converters / Bridge must be Master (CO mode) and the other one is Slave (CPE mode).
3.1.2 520XV-BM Connect to Multi-Port Master In order, to built up a local Internet in apartment, hotel and campus and hospitality environment. The Multi-port Master (for example, 5208-SW / 5224-SW VDSL2 Switch) need to be placed in the wiring center (MDF room) and connect to the telephone line system, on the other hand, need to install a Slave (520XV-BM) Converters / Bridge on the individual client side and connect to the Multi-port Master...
3.2 Connecting 520XV-BM 3.2.1 Connecting Standalone PC Refer to the following procedures to setup the 5201V- BM to a standalone PC. 1. Set the 5201V-BM to be CO mode or CPE mode from the DIP switch at the rear panel. 2.
3.2.2 Connecting Multiple PCs to an Ethernet LAN Refer to the following procedures to setup the 520XV-BM to an Ethernet LAN. 1. Set the 520XV-BM to be CO mode or CPE mode from the DIP switch at the rear panel. 2.

3.3 Chassis Installation & Rack Mounting (5201V- To install the Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter in a 10-inch or 19-inch Converter Chassis with standard rack, follow the instructions described below. Step 1: Place your 5201A-BM on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front side.
4. Power Information The power jack of 520XV-BM is with 2.5mm in the central post and required +5VDC power input. It will conform to the bundled AC-DC adapter and Planet’s Media Chassis. Should you have the issue to make the power connection, please contact your local sales representative.
5. Troubleshooting SYMPTOM: VDSL LNK LED does not light after wire is connected to the VDSL port. CHECKPOINT: 1. Verify the length of the wire connected between two 520XV-BM is not more than 1.4km. Please also try to adjust the DIP switch or 520XV-BM to other SNR mode.
6. FAQ Q1: What is the voltage that the 520XV-BM uses? A1: 5V DC, 2A Q2: What is VDSL2? A2: VDSL2 (Very High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line 2), G.993.2 is the newest and most advanced standard of xDSL broadband wire line communications. Designed to support the wide deployment of Triple Play services such as voice, data, high definition television (HDTV) and interactive gaming, VDSL2 enable operators...

Ratio, often written SNR, is a measure of signal strength relative to background noise. The ratio is usually measured in decibels (dB). In digital communications, the SNR will probably cause a reduction in data speed because of frequent errors that require the source (transmitting) computer or terminal to resend some packets of data.
