The VDSL switch is typically located in a wiring closet or other central
location of a multi-dwelling/multi-tenant unit, campus or enterprise. An
Internet connection is provided from the ISP to the customer’s building
over fiber optic cable, running Ethernet directly over a 1 Gbps connection.
(Trunking both uplink ports together can provide a 2 Gbps connection.)
This kind of WAN connection is referred to as fiber To The Building
(FTTB). The data and phone signals for each user are combined in the
switch, and passed over VDSL lines to individual customers.
The CPE at the other end of the VDSL line connects to any PC or
Macintosh equipped with a 10/100BASE-TX network interface card. Your
existing telephone, modem, or fax machine simply plugs into the CPE’s
phone port. There is no need for special terminators or filters. In fact,
there is no need to modify your wiring at all. Since the VDSL connection is
based on Ethernet, no further complex software configurations are
required.
