1.2 Introduction to Ethernet over VDSL Converter
The converter is a switching architecture with one RJ45 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports
and one RJ11 symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (symmetry means upstream and
downstream rate are the same or similar). It is ideal for signal conversion by transmitting
the Ethernet data from the standard twisted pair cable to the telephone cable and
extending the distance.
The Ethernet over VDSL combines the well proven Ethernet and VDSL technology to
transmit the Ethernet format data by using VDSL signaling over the most widespread
telephone wires and has no impact to current voice service. Therefore, it is very good for
Internet building phone line network because every room or house could use the existing
phone line to transmit data to the Internet and the whole building could share the Internet
line to the wide area network with minimum cost.
With much enough bandwidth, the 5/10/15 Mbps symmetric capability enables many
multi-media services on local Internet come true, like VOD (Video on Demand), Internet
caching server, distance education, and so on.
In one community or hotel, we just need to install one local server then the multi-media
services will be localized that is people do not need to access the services through Internet
but using local area network with better bandwidth and efficiency. Meanwhile, this kind of
infrastructure will minimize the burden on the Internet.
The converter is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant
with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel
provide the operating status of individual port and the whole system. There are two
models of the converters, one is used for client side and the other is central side. If you
want to setup one pair of converters for point-to-point connection then one set must be
slave (client) mode and the other one is master mode.
The cable specifications of the connection are listed as following:
