Installing and Using VDSL Converter
3.1 Install the Ethernet Over VDSL Converter
The Converter does not require any software configuration. Users can immediately use
any feature of this product simply by attached the cables and plug power on. There is
some key limitation on the Ethernet over VDSL converter. Please check the following
items:
• The device is used for point-to-point connection only (master device to slave
device) and allows data and voice work on the same telephone or ISDN lines.
• Two RJ-11 connectors for VDSL port. One for voice device connection (like
telephone) and the other one for network link connection.
• Depending on the quality of telephone line, the maximum distance of one VDSL
segment is 1.5km (5000ft) with AWG 24 telephone wires. The distance will
change by the quality of telephone wires.
3.1.1 LAN to LAN connection
Two sets of the converters could be used to link two local Area networks that are located
in different areas. Through the normal telephone line, it could setup an up to 15/17Mbps
asymmetric backbone, but one converter must be Master (VC-102M) and the other one
is Slave (VC-102S).
NOTE: VC-102M can be connected PLANET’s previous slave model, VC-101S.
The speed is also adjusted by the DIP-switch of VC-102M. VC-102S
can also be connected to previous master, VC-101M. The speed
depends on the firmware loaded on VC-101M. Please check the VC-
101M’s user’s manual for detail.

placed In the wiring center (MDF room) and connect to the telephone line system, on the
other hand, need to install a Slave (VC-102S) converter on the individual client side and
