Configuration

The configuration software allows you to adjust and monitor the operating parameters of the media converter. Some of the functions that you can perform with the software include:

❑Determine the VDSL link status

❑Set the upstream and downstream data transfer rates

❑Monitor the status of the VDSL parameters on both the local and remote units

❑Monitor the status of the Ethernet parameters on both the local and remote units

❑Link recovery

The AT-S57 configuration software is included on the Documentation CD included with the network extender. The default settings may be adequate for some networks and may not need to be changed. If this is true for your network, then you can use the network extenders by simply connecting the units to your network, as explained in ”Installation” on page 18.

Note

The default settings for the configuration software can be found in

Appendix A”” on page 51.

To actively configure a network extender by changing or adjusting its operating parameters, you must access the AT-S57 software while connected to the AT-MC602 Provider unit. The AT-S57 software has a menu interface that makes it very easy to use.
