Overview AT-MC606 Port Descriptions VDSL Line Port 10Base-T/ 100Base-Tx Ethernet Port The VDSL Line port features a BNC coaxial connector. It allows you to connect two AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender units together using an existing internal building coaxial cable. One AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender is configured as a Provider unit and the other as a Subscriber unit.
AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender Installation Guide the Ethernet port is set to 100 Mbps. Half- and Full-duplex Mode Duplex mode refers to the way an end-node sends and receives data on the network. An end-node can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode, depending on its capabilities. In half-duplex mode, data can be either sent or received, but not at the same time. In full-duplex mode, data can be sent and received simultaneously.
Overview RJ-45 Port Pinouts The pin assignments of an RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX connector and port are illustrated in Figure 3. 1 8 8 1 Figure 3. RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX Connector Pin Assignments Table 2 lists the RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX connector pins and their signals when the port is operating in either MDI or MDI-X configuration. Table 2.

Overview VDSL Configuration DIP Switches VDSL Switch Definitions The AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender features the four VDSL Configuration DIP switches on the front panel. The UP/DOWN positions of each switch are shown in “VDSL Configuration DIP Switches” on page 23 and defined in Table 4 below. Table 4.

VDSL Configuration DIP Switches VDSL Configuration DIP Switch Descriptions SCBR/PROV VDSL Configuration Switch The SCBR/PROV (Left) switch defines the function of the AT-MC606 as either a Subscriber or a Provider unit.
Overview ASYM/SYM VDSL Configuration Switch The ASYM/SYM (Right Center) switch selects the maximum data rate for the VDSL line. The ASYM (asymmetrical) position is the factory default position, which allows the Subscriber a maximum receive data rate of 100 Mbps and a maximum transmit data rate of 60 Mbps. The SYM (symmetrical) position limits the receive and transmit line rates in a symmetrical manner so the line rates in both directions are approximately the same.
AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender Installation Guide External AC/DC Power Adapter An external, energy efficient, AC/DC power adapter is included with the AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender for desktop or wall-mount operation. The power adapter supplies 12V DC to the AT-MC606. Allied Telesis supplies an approved safety compliant AC power adapter specifically designed for each region where the AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender is sold. Each type of power adapter has an unregulated output of 12V DC at 1A.
Overview Applications for the AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender The AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender is designed to be used in pairs to extend Ethernet traffic over existing coaxial cables in a building. One AT-MC606 is configured as the subscriber unit and the second unit is configured as the provider unit. You must manually configure these units as a subscriber or provider unit when installed.
AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender Installation Guide for Asymmetrical data mode to maximize the amount of data being sent to the Subscriber and minimize the amount of data being sent to the Provider. IP Surveillance Topology Another example is using the AT-MC606 for connecting IP surveillance cameras with a Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) using existing coaxial cables within the building.
