Chapter 5. Building a VDSL2 System

First a quick overview on a complete setup of VC-400LT/R:

Figure 6 VDSL2 Application

5.1 Connect the VC-400LT and the VC-400RT+ to the Line

The objective for VDSL2 is to pass high speed data over a twisted pair cable. In the

setup, connects VC-400LT to VC-400RT+ through phone wire or line simulator or

any other hardware representation of a cable network, with or without noise injection

and crosstalk simulations.

5.2 Connect the VC-400LT and the VC-400RT+ to LAN Devices

In the setup, usually an Ethernet tester serves as representation of the LAN side as

well as representation of the WAN side.

5.3 Run Demos and Tests

The Ethernet tester may send data downstream as well as upstream. It also receives

the data in order to check the integrity of the data transmission. Different data rates

can be tested under different line conditions.
