Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub
The
ME0011A-vDSL
10/100Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data
Ter
minal Equipment), just like a 10/100Base-T network interface card in
a
PC. Therefore, it “expects” to connect to a 10/100Base-T Hub using a
straight-through RJ-45 cable. Figure 7 diagrams the cable wiring for con-
necting the
ME0011A-vDSL
to a 10/100Base-T hub.

Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port to a PC (DTE)
The
ME0011A-vDSL
10/100Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data Ter-
minal Equipment). If you wish to connect the
ME0011A-vDSL
to another DTE
devices such as 10/100Base-T network interface card in a PC (or
ME0011A
-VDSLs)
in a back-to-back arrangement), you must construct a 10/100Base-T
crossover cable as shown in Figure 8.

3.5 CONNECTING THE POTS/ISDN LINE
The RJ-45 port labeled “POTS/ISDN” is the POTS/ISDN interface. A tele-
phone or an ISDN device may be connected to this port and carried over
the VDSL line. The units do not need power for the POTS interface to
