Overview This document contains instructions necessary for the installation and operation of the Perle Gigabit and 10/100 Ethernet Extender modules. These Ethernet Extender modules enable Ethernet communication across a single pair of copper wires such as 2- wire twisted pair telephone wire or coax cable using VDSL2 technology.
Ethernet Extender should be configured for Auto Local mode (Auto CO) and the other Ethernet Extender be configured for Remote mode (CPE). These are the steps required to configure a pair of Perle Ethernet Extender Modules. 1. Obtain a pair of Perle Ethernet Extender modules and a pair of Perle Media converter chassis.
Auto Local Remote NOTE: Ethernet Extender modules work in pairs. One side of the link must be set to Local / CO and the other end of the link must be set to Remote / CPE. Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Extender Modules...

NOTE: The actual distance and rates may vary depending on the environment and type/gauge of wire used. There will always be a compromise betweens speed and range.

Line Loopback Mode on: This is a test mode. All data received on the Line connection is internally looped back and retransmitted back over the Line. This mode will override Ethernet and Link Mode switch settings. Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Extender Modules...

Ethernet Speed Up: 100 Mb for all models Ethernet Speed Down: 10 Mb for all models Note: When AutoNeg (SW6) is set to Off, the Ethernet Extender module will use this Speed setting for its Ethernet connection. Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Extender Modules...

Ethernet Extender. This is accomplished by signalling Link Pass-Through across the VDSL line without bringing down the link. NOTE: Link Pass-Through will need to be enabled on both the Local and Remote Ethernet Extender. Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Extender Modules...
Ethernet interface. If the VDSL line link is lost the Ethernet link will be brought down. Interlink Fault Feedback The 10/100/1000 ports (LNK) on each of the links will be turned off if the VDSL link is broken. Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Extender Modules...
The other end of this cable can be connected directly to a hub, switch or PC using a straight through or crossover cable that is less than 328ft in length. NOTE: The Perle Ethernet Extender supports Auto-MDIX which allows the use of a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable.

Loosen the terminal block screws and connect one wire to the left terminal. Connect the other wire to the right terminal. Tighten the terminal screws (0.22Nm-0.25Nm torque). NOTE: Refer to the Technical Specifications section at the back of this guide for pin/cabling requirements. Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Extender Modules 11...
Operation Status LED Perle Ethernet Extender modules have single color status LEDs located on the front panel of the card. ILNK LOC/CO On – VDSL link is up On – Power is On – Unit is Off –VDSL link is applied to the unit.
Packet Size: The maximum frame size supported is 1522 bytes. Auto Connect: If both Perle Ethernet Extenders are configured for Auto Local mode, a proprietary method of detection is implemented for each attempt to synchronize the local and remote Perle Ethernet Extender.
