DIP-3: Band Profile (Asymmetric/Symmetric) The asymmetric mode provides more bandwidth Asymmetric than the other side. This mode provides the highest bandwidth in short range. With the G.997 band plan supported, the symmetric Symmetric mode can provide almost the same rate of downstream and upstream.

4. Power, CO and CPE LEDs will illuminate correspondingly. 5. Connect coaxial cable from LAN1 IVC-234GT to VDSL BNC port of the LAN2 IVC-234GT. 6. VDSL LNK LED will blink to illuminate at both Industrial Ethernet Extenders.
Refer to the following procedure to set up many pairs of IVC-234GT to IP surveillance system. 1. Set the IVC-234GT to be the CO and CPE mode from the DIP switch on the front panel. 2. Power on the IVC-234GT by connecting its power source.
5. Installations 5.1 Wiring the Power Inputs The 6-contact terminal block connector on the top panel of Industrial Ethernet Extender is used for two DC redundant power inputs. Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire. When performing any of the procedures like inserting the wires or tightening the wire-clamp screws, make sure the power is OFF to prevent from getting an electric Caution...
5.2 Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact The fault alarm contacts are in the middle of the terminal block connector as the picture shows below. Inserting the wires, the Industrial Ethernet Extender will detect the fault status of the power failure and then forms an open circuit. The following illustration shows an application example for wiring the fault alarm contacts.
5.3 DIN-rail Mounting Installation The DIN-rail bracket is screwed on the Industrial Ethernet Extender when out of factory. Please refer to the following steps for DIN-rail mounting: Step 1: Screw the DIN-rail bracket on the Industrial Ethernet Extender. Step 2: Lightly insert the bottom of the switch into the track.
Page 20
Step 3: Make sure the DIN rail is tightly secured on the track. Step 4: Please refer to the following procedure to remove the Industrial Ethernet Extender from the track. Step 5: Lightly pull out the bottom of DIN rail for removing it from the track.
5.4 Wall-mount Plate Mounting To install the Industrial Ethernet Extender on the wall, please follow the instructions described below. Step 1: Remove the DIN-rail bracket from the Industrial Ethernet Extender with a screwdriver. Step 2: Place the wall-mount plate on the rear panel of the Industrial Ethernet Extender.
IVC-234GT units. Please also try to adjust the DIP switch of the IVC-234GT to the other SNR mode. 2. Please note you must use one IVC-234GT in CO mode and the other IVC-234GT in CPE mode to make connection to each other work.
Generally speaking, the higher SNR value gets, the better the line quality gets, but performance is lower. Q3: What is the best distance for IVC-234GT? A3: In order to guarantee the stability and better quality of network, we suggest the distance should not exceed 1.2 kilometers.
