- Page 16 4.1 Point-to-Point Application -- LAN to LAN Connection Two sets of the VDSL2 Bridge could be used to link two local area networks that are located in a different place. Through the normal telephone line, it could be set up as a 150/150Mbps (G.INP, Sym, 8dB) symmetric backbone, with one being VDSL2 Bridge must be Master (CO mode) and the other one, Slave (CPE mode).
- Page 17 VC-820M) operates as a CO Master and needs to be placed in the wiring center (MDF room) and connects to the telephone line system. On the other hand, it needs to install one or many CPE Slaves (the VC-231G or VC-234G VDSL Bridge) on the individual client side and connect to the multi-port Master through the telephone lines.
- Page 18 Refer to the following procedure to set up the VDSL2 Bridge to IP DSLAM connection. 1. [Remote End] Set the remote IP DSLAM/VDSL2 switch to CO mode with proper VDSL2 profile. 2. [Local End] Set the VDSL2 Bridge at the local end to CPE mode from the DIP switch.
