Chapter 3: Configuration
3.10Forcing the Data Port Speed
The DATA port can be manually configured on HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended Temp) for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operation. Before manually setting the speed, disable Auto Negotiation (Set DIP Switch #5 to the OFF position.)
•10 Mbps for the DATA port is configured by setting DIP Switch #9 to the OFF position (default).
•Configure the DATA port for 100 Mbps operation by setting DIP Switch #9 to the ON position.
3.11Flow Control
Flow Control is used as back pressure on the 10/100BaseT DATA interface to avoid dropping packets during VDSL link congestion.
Flow Control should be considered whenever the VDSL line provides less bandwidth than the DATA port. If the Ethernet line is attempting to send more data than the VDSL2 line can support, the Overflow (OVF) LED will come ON indicating frames are being discarded due to congestion.
Overflow activity will be less if Flow Control is enabled. Flow Control or Pause will limit the number of dropped Ethernet frames by reducing the congestion, therefore minimizing the overflow of the VDSL line.
Configure the DATA port on the HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended Temp) for Flow Control by setting DIP Switch #6 to the ON position.
