100 LED (Ethernet)

The  RJ-45  port  has  a  100  LED.  Steady  green  indicates  that  the  port  is  operating  at 
100Mbps. If the LED is off, the link speed is 10Mbps.

LNK/ACT LED (Ethernet)

The RJ-45 port has a LNK/ACT LED. Steady green indicates that the port has good linkage 
to its associated device. Flashing green indicates that the port is receiving or transmitting 
data from/to its associated partner. 

If the port is connected but the LNK/ACT LED is dark, check the following items:

1.  The converter and the connected device’s power are on or not.

2.  The port’s cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the as-

sociated device.

3.  The connecting cable is good and with correct type.

4.  The connecting device, including any network adapter is functional.

FDX/COL LED (Ethernet)

A collision occurs when two stations within a collision domain attempt to transmit data at 
the same time. Intermittent flashing amber of the collision LED is normal; the contending 
adapters resolve each collision by means of a wait-then-retransmit algorithm. Frequency 
of collisions is an indicator of heavy traffic on the network.

If the FDX/COL lights amber which means the port is under full-duplex operation or dark 
for half-duplex mode. 

LNK LED (VDSL)

If both ends of the VDSL devices are connected then the LED will blink for a while (in 10 
seconds), this is the stage of speed auto-negotiation. After the negotiation process, the 
LNK LED will stay green. If the LED blinks always, that means the link process is fail.

ACT LED (VDSL)

If there is any traffic transverses the port then the LED will light green. Otherwise, off 
means no traffic on the network.

2.1.2 MODE DIP Switch (VC-102M only)

The  converter  provides  5  selective  transmission  modes  that  defined  by  predetermined 
profiles. By switching the transmission modes, you can obtain a best transmission mode 
to suit with phone line quality or distance of connectivity. The following is the summary 
table  of  transmission  modes,  bandwidth  and  distance  extensibility  tested  for  AWG  24 
(0.5mm) twisted-pair without noise and cross talk.
