    1. Introduction Micronet SP3524A is an EoVDSL (Ethernet over VDSL) clustering switch that allows high port-density of 24 VDSL lines in one system. It delivers cost-effective and high- performance broadband / multimedia services to multiunit building environments, such as enterprise, campus, hospital, hotel, and telecom. Based on 4-band VDSL technology, the VDSL solution dramatically provides improved performance that supports 5M/15M/25Mbps symmetrical bandwidth over the range of up to 1.7/1.1/0.6KM.

  • Page 29: Trunking

    4.8. Trunking The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner.
  • Page 30 group is local static trunking group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group. If connecting to the device that also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunking group will be created automatically. Work ports: Allow max four ports can be aggregated at the same time. If LACP static trunking group, the exceed ports is standby and able to aggregate if work ports fail.
  • Page 31 State Activity Active (select): The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets. Passive (no select): The port does not automatically sends LACP protocol packets, and responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device. 1. A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform dynamic LACP trunking.

  • Page 35: Vlan Config

    4.10. Vlan Config A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
  • Page 37 1. Click Add to create a new VLAN group. 2. Enter the VLAN name, group ID and select the members for the new VLAN, then click Apply. 3. If the VLAN groups over the page’s limitation, user can use “Next Page” to view other VLAN groups.

  • Page 39 GVRP (GARP [Generic Attribute Registration Protocol] VLAN Registration Protocol) GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the 24 ports VDSL MANAGED SWITCH is connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request using the VID of a VLAN defined on the 24 ports VDSL MANAGED SWITCH, the 24 ports VDSL MANAGED SWITCH will automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.

    4.11. Spanning Tree The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D) for avoiding loops in switched networks. When STP enabled, to ensure that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the network. You can enable Spanning-Tree Protocol on web management’s switch setting advanced item, select enable Spanning-Tree protocol.

  • Page 53: Interleave

    4.17. Interleave This function is used in digital data transmission technology to protect the transmission against noise issue and data error. If during transit more than a certain amount of data has been lost then the data cannot be correctly decoded. Short bursts of noise on the line can cause these data packets to become corrupt and the modem has to re- request data which in turn can slow down the overall rate at which data is transmitted.
  • Page 54 The diagram below is an example of how interleaved traffic is transmitted. If your line is particularly susceptible to bursts of noise then interleaving should improve your vdsl experience simply because if you lose a whole batch of data then this could cause your modem to loose sync with the exchange.
