AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender Installation Guide

LINK/ACT LED - 10Base-T/100BaseTX Ethernet Port

Verify that the LINK/ACT LED for the 10Base-T/100BaseTX Ethernet port is ON. If a LINK/ACT LED is OFF, do the following:

ˆVerify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and is operating properly.

ˆCheck that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the port on the AT-MC606 and to the port on the end node.

ˆMake sure that the twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

ˆVerify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted pair cable: Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps operation, Category 5 and Category 5E for 100 Mbps operation.

ˆMake sure that the operating parameters of the port on the AT-MC606 are compatible with the end node to which the port is connected.

LINK LED - Coaxial VDSL LINE Port

Verify that the LINK LED for the coaxial VDSL LINE port is either solid green, slow blinking green (approximately 1 time/second), or rapidly blinking green (approximately 6 times/second. If a LINK LED is OFF, do the following:

ˆCheck that the coaxial cable is securely connected to the port on the AT-MC606 and to the port on the end node.

ˆVerify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and is operating properly.

ˆVerify that one of the AT-MC606 modules is configured as the Subscriber unit and the second AT-MC606 module is configured as the Provider unit.

It is normal for the coaxial VDSL LINE port LINK LED to blink approximately 3 times/second when the training or handshake mode occurs. It is not normal for the training or handshake mode to continue for more than 1 minute before indicating an idle or link condition. If this abnormal condition occurs, do the following:

ˆCheck that the coaxial cable is securely connected to the port on the AT-MC606 and to the port on the end node.

ˆVerify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and is operating properly.

ˆVerify that one of the AT-MC606 modules is configured as the Subscriber unit and the second AT-MC606 module is configured as the Provider unit.
