1.2 Introduction To Ethernet over VDSL  
Converter  
General Description  
The converter is a switching architecture with four RJ45  
10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switching ports and one  
10Mbps RJ11 symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port  
(symmetry means 10Mbps upstream and 10Mbps  
downstream data rate). 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 10Mbps 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 client mode  
and the other one is master mode.  
The cable specifications of the connection are listed as  
following:  
10BASE-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP  
100BASE-TX, Category 5 UTP

Note: Slave device must connect to Master device through  
the telephone wire. Slave cannot connect to Slave  
and Master cannot connect to Master. EV-401M  
works as Master device and EV-401S works as Slave  
device.

3. INSTALLING AND USING ETHERNET  
OVER 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 and  
allow data and voice work on the same telephone 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 1.2km (4000ft) with AWG  
26 telephone wires. The distance will change by the quality  
of telephone wires. We got some data as following table.  
Phone line wire (diameter) Distance  
AWG 26 (0.40 mm)  
AWG 24 (0.51 mm)  
AWG 22 (0.64 mm)  
1.2km  
1.3km  
1.5km  
Therefore, this device is an ideal client access unit for the  
applications of apartment, hotel, campus and hospitality.  
Integration with the Internet access concentrator, the total  
infrastructure could be a perfect solution for multi-media  
local Internet. This structure could support many  
multi-media applications, like VOD (Video on Demand),  
Distant education, Internet caching server, … and so on.  
EV-401M / EV-401S User's Manual

Therefore, most of the traffic will be limited on the local  
phone line network instead of flooding to the Internet.  
Another application for the converter is used for LAN to  
LAN extension through the normal telephone line.  
3.2 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 a 10Mbps  
symmetric backbone, but one converter must be Master  
and the other one is “Slave”.  
3.3 Connect to Multi-Port Master  
In order, to built up a local internet in apartment, hotel, campus  
and hospitality environment.  
The Internet Access Concentrators need to be placed In the  
wiring center( MDF room) and connect to the telephone line  
system, on the other hand, need to install a “Slave” converter  
on the individual client side and connect to the Multi Port  
Master through the telephone lines.  
Multi-Port Master  
When deciding where to put the converter then you must  
ensure:  
It is accessible and cables can be connected easily.  
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise such  
as radios, transmitters and power lines and  
fluorescent lighting fixtures.

Water or moisture can not enter the unit  
Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the  
side of the case is not restricted (company  
recommend that you provide a minimum of 25mm  
inch clearance)  
To prolong the operational life of your units:  
Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack  
Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case  
3.4 Installing Network Cables  
After placing the converter on the desktop, then we need to  
know how to connect the device to network.  
3.5 Station Connections with Telephone Wires  
Connect the network adapters in stations to the converter’s  
10/100Mbps switching ports through category 3, 4 or 5  
UTP cables. There are two RJ11 phone jacks, one for  
telephone set connection and the other one is used for  
phone line network connection. If you have telephone wall  
jacks at home then all you need to do is connecting the  
RJ11 network port to the wall jack through telephone wires.  
Warning !  
Connection of the RJ-45 connector from an RJ-11 to TNV  
circuits can cause permanent damage to the device.

4. SWITCH OPERATION  
4.1 MAC Address Table and Learning  
The converter built in with a MAC address table that is  
composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the  
address information of network nodes on the network,  
including MAC address, port ID, etc. The information is the  
most important base to do packet filtering and forwarding.  
When one packet comes in from any port, the switch will  
learn the source address, port ID, and the other related  
information in address table. Therefore, the content of the  
MAC table will update dynamically.  
4.2 Filtering and Forwarding  
When one packet comes in from any port of the switch, it  
will check the destination address besides the source  
address learning. The switch will look up the address table  
for the destination address. If not found, this packet will be  
forwarded to all the other ports except the source port. If  
found and the destination address is located at different  
port from this packet comes in, the packet will be  
forwarded to the port where this destination address is  
located according to the information of address table. But,  
if the destination address is located at the same port as  
this packet comes in then this packet will be filtered.  
4.3 Store and Forward  
Store-and-forward is one kind of packet-forwarding  
methodology. As a store-and-forward switch, it will store the  
complete packet in the internal buffer and do the complete error  
checking before transmitting to the network. Therefore, no error  
packets will disturb the network. It is the best choice when a  
network needs efficiency and stability.
