VDSL converters to this switch (ports 1 to 8). The VES-1012 extends on the flexibility of the VES-1008 as it provides 12 ports that allow for the connection of up to 12 individual subscribers. This hardware installation guide caters for both models.
This chapter describes the applications and basic operating environment for the VES Ethernet Switches. 1.1 Applications The VES-1008 supports 8 VDSL ports as well as a combined USER/CO Telco connector. Expanding on this flexibility, the VES-1012 features 12 VDSL ports as well as separate CO and USER Telco-50 connectors. The applications and operating environment (and associated diagrams) presented in this chapter primarily focus on the VES-1012;...

Free-standing Position the VES-1008 on a flat surface. Make certain that the unit has adequate ventilation. 2.2.2 Rack-mounted Please note that rack-mounted is optional for the VES-1008. As a result, rack-mounted accessories are not supplied. • Two mounting brackets (optional).
Make sure the position of the VES-1008 does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit. Position a mounting bracket on one side of the VES-1008, lining up the four screw holes on the bracket Step 1.
Figure 2-2 Mounting the VES-1008 in a Rack 2.2.3 Wall Mounted The VES-1008 is designed so that it can be mounted on a wall if the need arises. The following is needed in order to mount the VES-1008 on a wall: •...
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch • Eight M3 flat head screws (supplied) and a #2 Philips screwdriver. • Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver. Before you proceed with mounting the VES-1000 Series switch in a rack, please take note of the following precautions: Precautions: •...
It should be noted that although the VES-1012 is shown in the following diagrams, the following scenarios can also apply to the VES-1008 - the primary difference is that a single Telco-50 cable is used for the combined USER/CO signal on the VES-1008. Installation instructions for the following scenarios are given for both the VES-1008 and the VES-1012.
Connect a Telco connector to one end of the cable (see Diagram 5 for VES-1008 and Diagram 6 for VES-1012 in Appendix B for pin assignments) and connect the other end directly to an MDF; alternatively attach RJ-11 connectors and connect directly to VDSL modem(s).
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch Figure 3-3 MDF (Main Distribution Frame) Wiring Connect wiring to end-user equipment to the lower ports of an MDF and connect wiring from the telephone company to the upper ports of an MDF (see the previous figure). Some MDFs have surge protection circuitry built in between the two banks;...
Follow the pin assignments shown in the Appendix – Pin Assignments to wire a Telco cable (not Step 1. supplied in the package) to a Telco-50 connector (supplied). For the VES-1008 only, connect the Telco-50 connector end of the cable to the combined USER/CO Step 2. Telco-50 port located on the front panel of the VES-1008.
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch Figure 3-5 One MDF for End-user and CO Connections Please refer to the following figure for the connection schema. MDF 1 is the original MDF used for telephone connections only. MDF 2 is used for telephone connections only. MDF 3 is for VDSL service connections.
The VES-1008 requires one cable (not supplied) and the VES-1012 requires two Telco cables (not supplied in the package) to two Telco-50 connectors. For the VES-1008 only, configure the Telco-50 cable to reflect the required phone and VDSL services. Step 3.
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch Telephone subscribers only (that is, non-VDSL subscribers) retain connections to the lower ports of Step 10. MDF 1. Change the wiring from MDF 1 to MDF 3 for telephone subscribers who want VDSL service. Step 11. 3.4.3 Installation Scenario C Phone service is also available but there are two MDFs;...
Procedure To Connect To MDFs Acquire two additional MDFs (3 and 4). Step 1. For the VES-1008 only, follow the pin assignments shown in Diagram 5 to configure a cable for this Step 2. installation. For the VES-1012 only, follow the pin assignments shown in the Diagram 6 and Diagram 7 to wire two Telco cables (not supplied in the package) to two Telco-50 connectors (supplied).

VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch Connect the wiring on the other side of the Telco-50 cable to the lower ports of MDF 4 using a punch- Step 8. down tool. Connect the top ports of MDF 4 to the bottom ports of MDF 1 using regular telephone cables. Step 9.
The following figure shows the rear panel of the VES-1012 only. The VES-1008 differs in that the 12-volt DC power socket is located on the front panel. There are no sockets or switches on the back panel of the VES-1008.
Figure 4-2 Connecting the Power Cord to the VES-1012 and a Power Source 4.2 Front Panel Connections The VES-1000 Series of Ethernet switches all feature the Console port, VDSL and WAN Ethernet switch connections on the front panel. Figure 4-3 VES-1008 Front Panel Connections Overview Hardware Connections...
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch Figure 4-4 VES-1012 Front Panel Connections Overview 4.2.1 Console Port For the initial configuration, you need to use terminal emulator software on a computer and connect it to the VES- 1000 Series switch through the console port. Connect the male 9-pin end of the console cable to the console port of the VES-1000 Series switch.
MDF. The VDSL Port pins are used to connect the VES-1008 to the VDSL modems (for example, ZyXEL’s Prestige 841). As with the phone port pins, each VDSL port requires 2 separate pins. Eight separate VDSL ports are available on the VES-1008 and each port is available to a separate user.
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch Figure 4-6 Stacking the VES-1012 If the number of ports on the WAN switch is limited, it is possible to daisy-chain the VES-1000 Series of switches before connecting to the WAN switch. Use crossover cables between VES-1000 Series Switches and a straight- through cable (as described above) between VES-1000 Series Switches and an Ethernet switch.
Can see the status LEDs on the front panel while you view the VT100 terminal emulator. Push the power switch (located on the front panel of VES-1008 and on the back panel for the VES-1012) to the ON position. The VES-1000 Series switch will automatically run a self-test that takes approximately 20 seconds.
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch Table 5-1 VES-1000 Series Switches: LED Descriptions COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION Green The system is turned on. The system is off. Green Blinking The system is rebooting and performing self-diagnostic tests. The system is on and functioning properly. The power is off or the system is not ready/malfunctioning.
CORRECTIVE ACTION Make sure the power cord is connected properly to the power outlet. Make sure you are using the correct power source (For VES-1012, 35 watt max., 100-240 VAC/1A, 50/60Hz. For VES-1008, 24 watt max., 100-240 VAC/1A, 50/6-Hz). Make sure the power cord is connected to the VES-1000 Series switch properly.
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch The ALM LED Is On The ALM (alarm) lights when the VES-1000 Series switch is overheated and/or the fans are not working properly (VES-1012 only) and/or voltage readings are outside the tolerance levels. The VES-1000 Series switch may become damaged if the ALM LED remains on.
STEP CORRECTIVE ACTION Check that the Ethernet ports (ports 9 and 10 on a VES-1008 and ports 13 and 14 on the VES-1012) connect to a WAN Ethernet using straight-through Category 5 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables with RJ-45 connectors.
If the problem remains, check the pin assignments of the Telco-50 connector. If the problem remains, then the VES-1008 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.
STEP TEST If the problem remains, then the VES-1008 or MDF 3 is faulty. Repeat the test in step A using MDF 3 to determine if MDF 3 has problems. Contact the telephone company if that is the case. If not, contact your VES-1008 vendor outlining the problem and the steps you took to solve it.
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch Appendix A Removing and Installing a Fuse This appendix shows you how to remove and install fuses for the VES-1012. This section applies to the VES-1012 only. The VES-1012 uses one 250V-3A fuse. The VES-1012 comes with two 250V-3A fuses; one is installed at the factory (in the fuse housing), while the other one is a spare that comes with your VES-1012.
VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch Diagram 2 Opening the Fuse Housing Gently pull out the casing that holds the two fuses as shown next. Step 4. Diagram 3 Fuses in the Fuse Housing Pull gently, but firmly, to remove the burnt out fuse from the fuse housing. A burnt-out fuse is Step 5.
