GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing this GDI Communications LLC product. The XC300 is the
perfect way to connect disparate Local Area Networks (LAN). There is no special wiring
or special networking knowledge required. Using inexpensive, twisted copper pair wire
the XC300 allows you to connect LANs that are separated by up to 4000ft, breaking the
300ft Ethernet barrier. The XC300 provides reliable high-speed data communication in
the harshest operating environments. It can operate in uncontrolled environments such
as remote terminals or curb side distribution vaults.
Designed to operate in the harshest environments the XC300 has an operating
temperature range of -40°C to +65°C, in non-condensing humidity of up to 95%. It can
be set up at altitudes of up to 10,000 feet.
The XC300NT and XC300LT work together to create a transparent extension between
two Ethernet LANs. POTS/ISDN calls can be made over the VDSL link without
interfering with the data.
This manual has been designed to enable you to install your XC300 extender by
following the step-by-step installation procedure. Follow the step-by-step installation
instructions outlined in Section titled - Installation.
