One AT-MC605 Ethernet Extender is configured as a Provider unit and the other as a Subscriber unit. The two units need to be within 3,000 meters (9842 feet) of each other in order for the port to operate properly.
For example, if an end node is capable of only 10 Mbps, the AT-MC605 Ethernet Extender sets its ethernet port to 10 Mbps or if an end node is capable of 100 Mbps, the...
Page 20
Note For Auto-Negotiation to operate properly, the end-nodes connected to the AT-MC605 VDSL Ethernet Extender should also use Auto- Negotiation. If an end-node does not have this feature and has a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex, the result will be a duplex mode mismatch with the end-node.

Overview VDSL Configuration DIP Switches VDSL Switch The AT-MC605 VDSL Ethernet Extender features the four VDSL Configuration DIP switches on the front panel. The UP/DOWN positions of Definitions each switch are shown in “VDSL Configuration DIP Switches” on page 25 and defined in Table 6 below.
Extender is used at the end point of the VDSL line where the ethernet and phone lines are distributed to the end-user. The Provider (PROV) position is selected when the AT-MC605 Ethernet Extender is used as the source for the VDSL line. Normally, two AT-MC605 Ethernet Extenders work together in tandem - one as a Subscriber unit and the other as a Provider unit.
Page 26
Overview NO LIMIT/RATE LIMIT VDSL Configuration Switch The NO LIMIT/RATE LIMIT (Right Center) switch selects the maximum data rate for the VDSL line. The NO LIMIT position is the factory default for this switch, which allows a maximum downstream data rate of 100 Mbps and and a maximum upstream data rate of 60 Mbps.
An external, energy efficient, AC/DC power adapter is included with the AT-MC605 VDSL Ethernet Extender for desktop or wall-mount operation. The power adapter supplies 12V DC to the AT-MC605 Ethernet Extender. Allied Telesis supplies an approved safety compliant AC power adapter specifically designed for each region where the AT-MC605 VDSL Ethernet Extender is sold.
When configured as a subscriber unit, the AT-MC605 Ethernet Extender can be used as a desktop or wallmount device. If the AT-MC605 Ethernet Extender is configured as a provider unit in a wiring closet or telecommunications room, it may be mounted on the wall, on a DINRAIL, or in an AT-MCR12 rackmount chassis in an equipment rack.

Please review the following safety precautions before you begin to install the AT-MC605 VDSL Ethernet Extender. Only use the power adapter supplied when the AT-MC605 VDSL Ethernet Extender is installed as a stand alone unit. No power adapter is required if the unit is inserted in the AT-MCR12 rackmount chassis.
Observe the following requirements when choosing a site for your AT-MC605 VDSL Ethernet Extender: If you plan to install a AT-MC605 Ethernet Extender into an AT- MCR12 rackmount chassis and equipment rack, check to be sure that the rack is safely secured and that it will not tip over. Devices in a rack should be installed starting at the bottom, with the heavier devices near the bottom of the rack.
