CHAPTER 1 VLC Overview This chapter introduces the VDSL2 line card's general features, default settings and hardware. 1.1 VLC Overview The VLC VDSL2 Line Card is perfect for ISPs or large building applications seeking to provide high bandwidth broadband services to subscribers while minimizing costs. One VLC provides VDSL2 service for 24 subscribers over existing telephone wiring, thus avoiding the cost and hassle of installing new wiring. The line from the user carries both the VDSL2 and

Chapter 1 VLC Overview VDSL2 Compliance •ITU-T -G.993.2 -G.994.1 Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) Modulation The VLC is a DMT-based VDSL2 solution which dynamically adapts the bit transfer rate to conditions on the local loop. This allows the line card to sustain high performance even over noisy lines. Transmit PSD Notches The VLC supports the transmission of PSD (Power Spectral Density) notches at RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) bands. This reduces the effects of strong radio sources nearby.

Chapter 1 VLC Overview VDSL2 to ADSL2+ Fallback The VLC can automatically use ADSL2+ for connections where VDSL2 training fails. This allows a longer connection distance. Spectral Mask PSD (Power Spectral Density) defines the distribution of a VDSL line’s power in the frequency domain. A PSD mask is a template that specifies the maximum allowable PSD for a line. The VLC transmitter signal complies with the Power Spectrum Density (PSD) mask specified in ITU-T G.993.2 and supports masks EU32

Chapter 1 VLC Overview Alarm LED An ALM (alarm) LED lights when the VLC is overheated or the voltage readings are outside the tolerance levels and turns off when the temperature or voltage has returned to a normal level. CFM The IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) specification allows network administrators to identify and manage connection faults. Through discovery and verification of the path, CFM can detect, analyze and isolate connectivity faults in bridged LANs. This is e

Chapter 1 VLC Overview IGMP Snooping The VLC supports IGMP snooping enabling group multicast traffic to be only forwarded to ports that are members of that group; thus allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your VLC. IGMP Filter The IGMP filter defines multicast groups a port can join. You can create IGMP filter profiles which allow access to a multicast group, then assign the IGMP filter to a specific VDSL2 port. Multicast Group Limit You can limit the nu

Chapter 1 VLC Overview DHCP Relay DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual computers to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the system as a DHCP relay agent to have another DHCP server provide TCP/IP configuration for the clients. In addition, you can set the system to forward client DHCP requests to specific DHCP servers based on the VLAN ID. You can also specify up to two DHCP servers for each VLAN to provide f
