¾ DIP switch ¾ DC jack (DC input) for power adapter � DC Power Jack The VC-234G/VC-231G requires 5V DC, 2A power input, which conforms to the bundled AC adapter. Should you have the issue of power connection, please contact your local sales representative. Note The device is a power-required device, meaning it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should be active all the time, please cons ...

CO (Central Office) The Master device mode, usually the CO device, is located at the data center of ISP or enterprise to link to the backbone. CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) The Slave device mode, usually the CPE device, is located at branch office, home or remote side as the long reach data ...

Asymmetric Asymmetric mode provides more bandwidth than the other side. This mode provides the highest bandwidth in short range. Symmetric With G.997 band plan supported, symmetric mode can provide almost the same rate of downstream and upstream.  DIP-4: SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) Margin When the SNR margin is selected, the system provides 12dB/8dB SNR margin for across all usable loop lengths. Better chan ...

The power jack of VC-231G and VC-234G measures 2.5mm in the central post and requires +5VDC power input. It conforms to the bundled AC-DC adapter and Planet’s Media Chassis. Should you have the issue of power connection, please contact your local sales representative. Please keep the AC-DC adapter as a spare part when your VC-231G is installed to a Media Chassis. 2.5mm DC Receptacle 2.5mm +5V for each slot DC receptacle is 2.5mm ...

The Ethernet to VDSL2 Bridge 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 VDSL2 Bridge. Please check the following items: ¾ The device can be used for Point-to-Point (one CO device to one CPE device) connection or Point-to-Multipoint (one multi-port CO device to multi CPE dev ...
