If the product is not to be used for some time (e.g. during storage), unplug the wall plug 

transformers.

• 

Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.

• 

Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert or at a 

qualified shop.

technical support service or other technical personnel.

Settings

The two converters have four DIP switches that have to be set before getting started with the product:

1

ON = “CO”, OFF = “CPE”

One of the converters must be set to “CO”, the other one to “CPE” (this is normally the converter 

connected to the end terminal, e.g. a computer).

2/3

Selection of the transfer standard
OFF/OFF = annex A-30a
ON/OFF = annex A-17a
OFF/ON = B-30a-997
ON/ON = B-17a-997

4

ON = “6dB”, OFF = “9dB”

Depending on the cable length or quality, the signal-to-noise ratio can be set here (SNR). With 

lower cable length or better cable quality you can set 6 dB which may lead to a higher transfer 

rate.

Getting started

• 

Connect the two RJ11 sockets of the converters with each other using a suitable cable. Due to the VDSL 

transmission of the converters, you can continue to use this cable e.g. for a conventional telephone signal.

• 

Set the DIP switches accordingly.

•  Connect the low-voltage round plug of the wall plug transformers to the corresponding sockets of the 

converters.

• 

Plug the wall plug transformers into a mains socket. The “Power” LEDs on the converters light up.

•  Now the converters start searching for each other in order to establish a network connection. When a 

correct connection has been established, the “Link/Nego” LED next to the RJ11 sockets lights up.

  For more information on the LEDs, please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Troubleshooting

No network connection

• 

Set the DIP switches on both converters correctly.

• 

Check that the cable connection between the converters is correct. There must be no short-circuit or 

interruption.

Slow or unstable data transfer

• 

The cable connection between the converters is too long or the cable quality is too poor.

• 

Set DIP switch 4 on both converters to the same value. For test purposes, use either 6 dB or 9 dB and 

check the connection again.

Care and cleaning

• 

Disconnect the product from the power supply before cleaning. 

• 

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as they can cause 

damage to the housing and malfunctioning.

• 

Dust can easily be removed using a clean, long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner.

• 

Do not immerse the product in water.

Disposal

  Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household waste. At 

the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations.

 

You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.

Item no. 1668007

Intended use

The product is used for the transmission of an Ethernet network signal over long distances. One RJ45 socket 

on each of the two converters is used for connection to a conventional 10/100MBit network, while one RJ11 

connector is used for connection to the transmission cable. Due to the VDSL transmission of the converters, 

you can continue to use this cable e.g. for a conventional telephone signal. The power is supplied via two 

enclosed wall plug transformers.

It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g. in bathrooms, must be 

avoided under all circumstances.

For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product 

for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper use can 

cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc. Read the instructions carefully and keep them.

Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information. 

If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this 

manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. 

Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.

• 

The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

• 

Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous playing 

material for children.

• 

Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity, 

moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.

• 

Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.

• 

If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it 

from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:

 -

is visibly damaged, 

 -

is no longer working properly, 

 - has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or 
 -

has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

• 

Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage 

the product.

• 

Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected 

to the product.

• 

The  design  of  the  wall  plug  transformers  complies  with  Protection  Class  II.  Use  only  a 

standard mains socket as the power source for the wall plug transformers.

The mains socket into which the wall plug transformers are plugged must be easily accessible.

• 

Do not disconnect the wall plug transformers from the mains socket by pulling the cable.

• 

If the wall plug transformer is damaged, do not touch it; there is danger to life from electric 

shock!
Switch off the mains voltage to the mains socket to which the wall plug transformer is 

connected (e.g. switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse and 

then switch off the RCD).
You can then unplug the wall plug transformer from the mains socket. Dispose of the faulty 

wall plug transformer in an environmentally friendly way; do not use it any more.

Replace it with a new wall plug transformer with the same specifications.

•  When connecting and operating the device, make sure the cables are not bent or jammed.
