1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION
1.2 CE NOTICE
The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates that it is
in compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive
and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the European Union (EU). A Cer-
tificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical Support.

1.3 FCC PART 68 (DV VERSION ONLY)
Caution
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Please note the
following:
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC rules and the requirements
adopted by ACTA. On the, bottom side of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring
and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68
rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be con-
nected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most
but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The
REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without
a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of ser-
vice may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone
company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is
necessary.
1.5 SERVICE
All warranty and non-warranty repairs must be returned freight prepaid
and insured to Patton Electronics. All returns must have a Return Materi-
als Authorization number on the outside of the shipping container. This

2.1 FEATURES
• Easy to install standalone VLINK modems (no configuration required)
• Auto-sensing 10/100Base-T
• Transparent operation
• LED indicators for Power, Ethernet Link & Activity, VLINK link & Quality of

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics VLINK/CO* and VLINK/CP VDSL* modems pro-
vide high-speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs,
remote PCs, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.

transparently (unmodified) through the VLINK modems. The VLINK
modems automatically add and delete MAC addresses, only passing
packets across the VDSL link that are meant for the remote peered LAN.

3.0 INSTALLATION
1. Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.3,
“Connecting the Twisted-Pair Line Interface” on page 11)
Note See Figure 2 for the standalone unit’s rear panel arrangements.
9
3.2 RACK CARD INSTALLATION
The VLINK modem rack card comprised a front card and a rear card.Do
the following to install the cards into the rack chassis:
1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails.
3. Slide the front card into the chassis until you feel resistance as the
front card engages the rear card. When that happens, gently push
the front card forward until it is fully seated in the card-edge recepta-
cle of the rear card (it should click into place).
5. Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.3,
“Connecting the Twisted-Pair Line Interface” on page 11)
Follow the steps below to connect the VLINK modem VDSL interfaces.
Note The VLINK modem units work in pairs. One of the units must be
a CO (Central Office), and the other unit must be a CP (Cus-
tomer Premise). It does not matter which end is the CO and
which is the CP. The link is always initiated by the CP. As long as
the CO is powered on, the CP can establish a link by being pow-
ered on or by having its power reset.
2. The VLINK modem is equipped with two interface jacks that can be
used on the VDSL interface, an RJ-45 or a terminal block. These
VDSL interfaces are a two-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin rela-
tionships on the VLINK modem's VDSL interface jacks.

The terminal block connector on the VLINK modem's twisted pair inter-
face is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The
signal/pin relationships is shown in Figure 5.

Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub
The VLINK modem 10/100Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data
Terminal 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 VLINK modem to a 10/100Base-T hub.

DC power (supplied via the power supply jack to the VLINK modem)
must meet the following requirements; DC power supplied must be regu-
lated +5VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. Center pin is +5V. The barrel type
plug has a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions.

4.0 CONFIGURATION (MODEL 1068 ONLY)
The VLINK modem has eight DIP switches for configuring the unit for a
wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and
explains the different configurations.

4.2 CONFIGURING DIP SWITCH S1
DIP switch S1 is where you configure the VDSL line rate, symmetric or
asymmetric, Ethernet full auto negotiation capability (100Base-T full or
half duplex, 10Base-T full or half duplex) or limited auto sense (only
100Base-T half duplex, 10Base-T full or half duplex).
S1-1 Setting
OFF Full Auto Negotiation (Factory Default)
(100 Mbps, Full or Half Duplex)
(10 Mbps, Full or Half Duplex)
ON Limited Auto Negotiation
(100 Mbps Half Duplex)
10 Mbps Full or Half Duplex)

5.0 OPERATION
Once the VLINK modems are properly installed, they should operate
transparently. No user settings required. This section describes reading
the LED status monitors.
5.1 POWER UP
Before applying power to the VLINK modem, please review section 3.6,
“Connecting Power” on page 14 to verify that the unit is connected to the
appropriate power source.
WARNING

Table 5: Front panel LED description for standalone modem
LED Description
Power On (green) when power is applied to the unit. Off
when no power is applied to the unit.
VLINK - Link On (green) when the end-to-end VDSL link between
the units is established. Off when the link has not
been established or when the link fails
VLINK - QOL Flashes yellow at different rates to indicate the
amount of error correction taking place on data pass-
ing over the VDSL link. This is a normal operating
condition and all data is passing correctly over the
link even if the link is solidly yellow. However, if the
LED is solid yellow and the VLINK Link LED is Off,
Off when no power is applied to the unit.
Ethernet - Link On (green) when the 10/100Base-T Ethernet link
has been established. Off when the 10/100Base-T
Ethernet link has not been established or when the
link fails.
Ethernet - COL Flashes yellow to indicate Ethernet collisions are
(Collision) occurring.
Ethernet - FDx On (yellow) when in full-duplex Ethernet mode. Off
(Duplex) when when operating in half-duplex Ethernet mode.
Ethernet - 100M On (yellow) when the link has not been established
or when operating in 100-Mbps Ethernet mode. Off
when operating in 10-Mbps Ethernet mode.
Ethernet - TX Flashes yellow when data is transmitted from the
unit to the LAN.
Ethernet - RX Flashes yellow when data is received at the unit
from the LAN.

LED Description
Power Solid GREEN to indicate the unit is powered on.
VLINK modem (Active Green) Solid green (ON) to indicate that the
Link end-to-end VDSL link between the VLINK modems is
established. The VLINK modem LED is OFF when
the link is down.
VLINK modem (Active Yellow) Flashes YELLOW to indicate the pro-
QOL cessor is correcting an error in the data thus prevent-
ing the transmission of corrupted data to the Ethernet
port. The more error corrections, the more often the
LED blinks. If the light remains lit continuously, it
means that the VDSL line is noisy—although the data
at the Ethernet port remains uncorrupted. Further
impairment of the line however, risks having the line
fail, as indicated by the green VLINK modem Link
LED extinguishing.
Ethernet Link (Active Green) Solid Green indicates that
10/100Base-T Ethernet link has been established.
Ethernet Activity (Active Yellow) Flashes yellow to indicate Ethernet
activity on the VLINK modem’s 10/100Base-T Ether-
net port.
