Page 4: General Information
Local Area Networks (LAN). There is no special wiring or special networking knowledge required. Using inexpensive, twisted copper pair wire the XC300 allows you to connect LANs that are separated by up to 4000ft, breaking the 300ft Ethernet barrier. The XC300 provides reliable high-speed data communication in the harshest operating environments.
Page 5: Applications
Operating in pairs with an XC300NT located at one end of the LAN extension and an XC300LT at the other end. The data is passed transparently through the XC300 such that the remote LAN appears to be co-located with local network. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to-point application.
Page 6 The alternative is to use fiber optic cable that is expensive; the end-to-end equipment is also expensive. The XC300 is well suited for this environment. Designed with robust VDSL technology the XC300 can deliver reliable high-speed communications throughout the multi-story building at a fraction of the cost of the fiber optic solution.
Page 7: Installation
INSTALLATION Because the XC300 requires no configuration, it can be installed and made operational quickly. Installation takes place as follows 1. Connecting the VDSL line interface between the units (refer to section titled, “Connecting the VDSL Line Interface” on page 8) See Figure 4 for the rear panel connector arrangements.
Page 8: Connecting To The Vdsl Line Interface
Follow the steps below to connect the XC300 VDSL Interfaces. The XC300 is a pair of units. One of the units must be an XC300NT, and the other unit must be an XC300LT. It does not matter which end is the XC300NT and which is the XC300LT.
Page 9: Connecting The Lan (Ethernet) Interface
You may connect this port to another Ethernet device via a Cat 3 or Cat 5 cable that is up to 328 ft long. TX+ (data output from XC300) TX- (data output from XC300) RX+ (data input to XC300)
Page 10 The XC300 LAN (10/100Base-T) interface is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). If you wish to connect the XC300 to another DTE device such as network interface card (NIC) in a PC (or XC300 in a back-to-back arrangement), you must use a crossover cable as shown in Figure 9.
Page 11: Connecting The Telephone (Pots/Isdn) Line
ISDN device may be connected to this port and carried over the VDSL line. The XC300 does not need to be powered ON for the POTS interface to work. The RJ 11 connector in the XC300 PHONE interface is wired as shown in Figure 10.
Page 12: Operation
FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS The XC300 features four front panel LEDs that monitor power, the Ethernet signals, and the VDSL Connection. Figure 11 shows the front panel location of each LED. Table 1 describes the LED functions.
Page 13 Solid GREEN to indicate the unit is powered ON. VDSL Sync (Active Green) Solid green (ON) to indicate that the end-to end VDSL link between the XC300 set is established. The VDSL LED is OFF when the link is down. Ethernet “Good (Active Green) Solid Green indicates that Ethernet link has Link”...
