VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch
Installation Scenarios 3-3
Figure 3-3 MDF (Main Distribution Frame) Wiring
Connect wiring to end-user equipment to the lower ports of an MDF and connect wiring from the telephone
company to the upper ports of an MDF (see the previous figure).
Some MDFs have surge protection circuitry built in between the two banks; thus, do not connect telephone wires
from the telephone company directly to your VES-1000 Series switch.
Use a punch-down tool to seat telephone lines into MDF blocks.
Multiple upper and lower MDF port connections are shown as one line in the following figures.
3.4 Typical Scenarios
Your existing telephone wiring usually depends on your region. We describe three typical installation scenarios
here.
3.4.1 Installation Scenario A
You want to install the VES-1000 Series switch in an environment where there are no previously installed MDFs.
There is no phone service and you want to install the VES-1000 Series switch for data-access only. No connection
from the Telco-50
CO port is necessary.
You may connect using an MDF or attach RJ-11 connectors to the non-VES-1000 Series switch side of the Telco
cable and then connect to a VDSL modem directly.
