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. The Subscriber (SCBR) position is selected when the AT-MC606 is used at the end point of the coaxial VDSL line where the Ethernet lines are distributed to the end-user. The Provider (PROV) position is selected when the AT-MC606 is used as the source for the coaxial VDSL line. Normally, two AT-MC606’s work together in tandem - one as a Subscriber unit and the other as a Provider unit.

FAST/INTL VDSL Configuration Switch

The FAST/INTL (Left Center) switch is used when noise compensation is required. If the coaxial VDSL line is operating in a relatively low noise environment, the data link and data transmission are usually reliable. The FAST position is recommended in this case. This operating mode has the advantage of short latency times - usually less than 1 ms.

You will want to select the INTL (Interleaved) position if you notice that the VDSL link is being repeatedly dropped or data is being lost, excessive noise bursts on the line may be the cause. With the Interleaved selection, the transmitted data is combined or interleaved with data correction code. This combination reduces the data errors, packet losses and loss of sync caused by a noisy environment. However, because the additional data correction code is added to the data stream, the overall transmission latency will increase and is usually less than 6 ms. The overall effect of this setting is more reliable data transmissions in a noisy environment.

AT-MC606 specifications

The Allied Telesis AT-MC606 is a fast Ethernet media converter designed to provide reliable connectivity and flexibility in a network environment. This device is ideal for those looking to extend their network reach without compromising performance. With its ability to convert between twisted pair cabling and fiber optics, the AT-MC606 supports the transition from copper to a fiber-based infrastructure, catering to a diverse range of networking needs.

One of the main features of the AT-MC606 is its ability to support 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, providing compatibility with both fast Ethernet and standard Ethernet networks. This versatility allows organizations to integrate the media converter seamlessly into existing networks, facilitating an easy migration path to faster connectivity options.

The device includes one 10/100Base-TX twisted pair port and one 100Base-FX fiber optic port, enabling network administrators to connect devices that may be located far apart, up to 2 kilometers with multimode fiber or up to 15 kilometers with singlemode fiber. This distance extends the reach of the network, making it particularly useful for enterprise applications, campus networks, and industrial settings.

The AT-MC606 features a compact design, making it suitable for environments where space is at a premium. It also incorporates a rugged construction to withstand various environmental conditions, ensuring reliable operation in challenging settings.
