EoVDSL Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RSL910 features a pluggable terminal block that supports up to
two Universal EoVDSL connections. Universal EoVDSL connections are Master/Slave
selectable and offer symmetric data rates up to 140 Mbps (with a VDSL link data rate
up to 100 Mbps) or distances up to 3 km (1.8 mi).
Ethernet over VDSL (EoVDSL) connections operate in pairs with one device
configured as the Master and the other as the Slave. In VDSL (Very-high-bit-rate
Digital Subscriber Line), the terms Central Office (CO) or Line Termination (LT) are
used interchangeably for the Master, and the terms Customer Premise Equipment
(CPE) or Network Termination (NT) are used interchangeably for the Slave. All
EoVDSL line configuration settings are modified on the Master and pushed to the
Slave. Data flowing from the Master to the Slave is designated
downstream
, while
data flowing from the Slave to the Master is designated
upstream
.
IMPORTANT
Universal EoVDSL ports (master or slave) must be connected to other Universal
EoVDSL ports (slave or master). Connections between Universal EoVDSL and Long-
Reach EoVDSL ports is not supported.
LEDs
Each set of EoVDSL terminals is associated with a set of
Link/Act
and
Master
LEDs.
The
Link/Act
LED indicates the state of the port, as well as the Signal-to-Noise Ratio
(SNR). The
Master
LED indicates whether the device is a Master or Slave.
