2. Installation

2.1 Hardware Installation

This chapter describes how to install the VDSL2 Modem/Router and

establishes network connections. You may install the VDSL2

Modem/Router on any level surface (e.g, a table or shelf). However,

please take note of the following minimum site requirements before you

begin.

2.2 Pre-installation Requirements

Before you start actual hardware installation, make sure you can provide

the right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient

physical space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be

connected. Verify the following installation requirement:

Power requirements: DC12V/1A or above.

• The VDSL2 Modem/Router should be located in a cool dry place,

with at least 10cm/4in of space at the front and back for

ventilation.

• Place the VDSL2 Modem/Router out of direct sunlight, and away

from heat sources or areas with a high amount of electromagnetic

interference.

• Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation

are available

2.3 General Rules

Before making any connections to the VDSL2 Modem/Router, note the

following rules:

Ethernet Port (RJ-45)

All network connections to the Modem Ethernet port must be made

using Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps;

Category 3, 4 UTP for 10Mbps

No more than 100 meters of cabling may be use between the MUX or

HUB and an end node.

• Phone Port (RJ-11)

All Phone set connections to the RJ-11 Port made using 24~26 Gauge

phone wiring.

2.4 Connecting the VDSL2 Modem/Router

The VDSL2 Modem/Router can be controlled by a PC, henceforth,

called the "Control PC". For this purpose, you need a PC with an

Ethernet network interface and a DB-9 RS232 serial interface. Two

programs are required: A Web browser is mandatory and a terminal

program should be available optionally.

The board has several connectors.

• 4 Ethernet RJ45 jacks (connect LAN devices to route); the Auto

MDIX feature of the ports switches automatically between MDI

and MDI-X (MDI = Media Dependant Interface), therefore

straight Ethernet cables can be used.

• 2 x RJ11 jack (LINE Port is for connects VDSL client side to

Line Interface, Phone port is for connects phone set or FAX

machine)

• 1 x Console port (monitoring, access to operating system via

shell for firmware downloads, starting drivers and web etc.,)

• 1 Power Supply (as described above)

Figure 2.1 VDSL2 Point to Point applications

Step 1. DSL and Phone connection

z The RJ-11 “Line” port is used to connect to the wall RJ-11 modular socket (outlet),

which is used to connect both master and slave Modem (Point to point solution)

z The RJ-11 “Phone” port of the Modem can be connected to a telephone for users

sharing the single telephone wire for making calls and accessing the internet

simultaneously.

z 1 x Console port (monitoring, access to operating system via shell for firmware

downloads, starting drivers and web etc..)

Step 2. LAN connection

The Modem provides 4 Ethernet port, which support connection through Ethernet

operation.

Network devices attached to the Ethernet port must support auto-negotiation,

10Base-T or 100Base-TX. Otherwise, the network device must always operate at half

duplex.

Step 3. Power connection

Use the included power adaptor (DC 12V/1A) to connect the Modem power socket to

an appropriate power source.

SP3501BM / SP3501BS are default configured for plug-n-play / auto-sensing

operation with SP3501BS / SP3501BM in “switch” mode for point-to-point networking

applications. If router functionality is desired, please login the system and change the

default setting.

Attention: The settings in the following Chapter 4.4 only need to be

performed in order to change LAN settings. Such a change may be

necessary when connecting the VDSL2 Modem/Router to a new control

PC and/or in order to turn the IP address changed via a shell command

into a default address for the next restart of the board.

4.4 Select LAN

The menus below will not be used very often. But when connecting the

VDSL2 Modem/Router to a new control PC, you may want to go through

the following steps in order to make the IP address previously set by

ifconfig in the terminal console permanent. Or on some later occasion you

may want to change it again without using the console. Then the menu

below will help you too.

In order to set the IP address, click on “LAN Settings”.

Figure 4.4 LAN menu

4.4.1 Select LAN Settings and set the IP Address

The form below is used to change the IP address of the LAN port in the

VDSL2 Modem/Router.

The proposed IP address either is the default IP address of LAN or it is the

address changed by an ifconfig command via the shell running in the

terminal. The Subnet Mask display can be ignored. In case the DHCP

checkbox is checked, some additional data and options will be on display

(see Chapter 7.2.4.1 on Page 45). The DHCP server is not required to

work with VDSL2 in a lab environment. It recommend to uncheck the box if

it is not unchecked already.

Figure 4.4.1 LAN Settings

Now the IP address either may be changed or left as it is. If it has been

changed in the form or after it has been changed using the ifconfig

command via the shell running in the terminal, it needs to be stored

permanently Hit the “APPLY” button in order to make the displayed IP

address new default address.

4.4.2 Restart the Settings Dialog

After the “APPLY” button has been hit, the displayed IP address will be

stored in a non volatile memory on the VDSL2 Modem/Router. Also, the

Ethernet link between the control PC and the VDSL2 Modem/Router will

be re-initialized – even if the IP address has not been changed. Refresh

the display of the HTTP browser running on the control PC and login

again.

Figure 5.2 VDSL2 Application: Point-to-Point Connection

5.1 Connect the VDSL2 CO Modem/Router and the VDSL2 CPE

Modem/Router to the LINE

The objective for VDSL2 is passing data over a twisted pair cable at high

speed. In the setup, either such a cable connects the VDSL2 CO

Modem/Router and the VDSL2 CPE Modem/Router, a line simulator or

any other hardware representation of a cable network, with or without

noise injection and crosstalk simulations.

5.2 Connect the VDSL2 CO Modem/Router and the VDSL2 CPE

Modem/Router to LAN Devices

In the setup, usually an Ethernet tester serves as representation of

the LAN side as well as representation of the WAN side.

5.3 Run Demos and Tests

The Ethernet tester may send data downstream as well as upstream. It

also receives the data in order to check the integrity of the data

transmission. Different data rates can be tested under different line

conditions.

6. Operating the VDSL2 System

After the VDSL2 system has been set up, you may want to configure

the settings that are related to VDSL2.

Configuration of operation modes, test modes (loop back) and the

display of status information are supported by a graphical user

interface.
