    Overview VDSL Configuration DIP Switches VDSL Switch The AT-MC606 VDSL Network 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 23 and defined in Table 4 below.

  • Page 23: Vdsl Configuration Dip Switch Descriptions

    The SCBR/PROV (Left) switch defines the function of the AT-MC606 as either a Subscriber or a Provider unit. The Subscriber (SCBR) position is selected when the AT-MC606 is used at the end point of the coaxial VDSL line where the Ethernet lines are distributed to the end-user. The Provider (PROV) position is selected when the AT-MC606 is used as the source for the coaxial VDSL line.
  • Page 24 Overview ASYM/SYM VDSL Configuration Switch The ASYM/SYM (Right Center) switch selects the maximum data rate for the VDSL line. The ASYM (asymmetrical) position is the factory default position, which allows the Subscriber a maximum receive data rate of 100 Mbps and a maximum transmit data rate of 60 Mbps. The SYM (symmetrical) position limits the receive and transmit line rates in a symmetrical manner so the line rates in both directions are approximately the same.
