Chapter 4: Console Configuration

CO/RT:

CO/RT has 2 options: STU-C and STU-R. To establish a successful connection for two G.SHDSL Two-Wire Ethernet Network Extenders, set one unit to STU-C (CO Site) and the other unit to STU-R (Remote Site).

2P/1P:

2P/1P has 2 options: 1 Pair and 2 Pairs. The LR0201A-KIT only supports a 1-pair SHDSL application. To establish a successful con- nection for LR0201A-KIT, set the two units to the same selection.

4.2.2 DSL Speed Screen

From the DSL Speed screen, users can configure the DSL transmission rate.

Options for 1-pair setting in the DSL Mode menu are:

64 kbps, 128 kbps, 192 kbps, 256 kbps, 384 kbps, 512 kbps, 768 kbps, 1152 kbps, 1536 kbps, 1544 kbps, 2048 kbps, 2304 kbps, 3072 kbps, 4608 kbps, 5696 kbps, and Adaptive speed.

Set both LR0201A-KIT units to the same speed to establish a successful connection for 64 kbps, 128 kbps, 3072 kbps, 4608 kbps, 5696 kbps, and Adaptive speed.

For the rate speed options between 192 kbps and 2304 kbps, the remote (slave) site will follow the CO (master) site’s speed, regardless of the speed selected for the remote site unit.

When setting for adaptive rate, two or more activation cycles are necessary. The system will automatically adapt to maximum speed according to the loop distances. The maximum speed is 5.696 Mbps for 1-pair mode.

BLACK BOX G.SHDSL Two-Wire Ethernet Network Extender, LR0201A-KIT specifications

The Black Box LR0201A-KIT is a robust G.SHDSL two-wire Ethernet network extender designed to enhance communication over extended distances while maintaining high data integrity and transfer speeds. This device is particularly beneficial in scenarios where traditional Ethernet connections fall short, such as in large facilities, campuses, or in areas where coaxial cabling is impractical or impossible to implement.

One of the main features of the LR0201A-KIT is its adherence to the G.SHDSL standard, which allows for symmetric data rates up to 5.7 Mbps over a single pair of copper wires. This makes it an ideal solution for both upload and download tasks, ensuring that businesses can maintain consistent, high-speed internet connectivity for applications such as video conferencing, VoIP, and large file transfers.

The extender is designed for ease of use, with a plug-and-play installation process that minimizes deployment time and reduces the need for specialized technical knowledge. Additionally, it supports a range of operating distances, providing connectivity over 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) depending on the quality of the existing wiring infrastructure. This flexibility allows for versatile deployment in widely varying environments.

Equipped with dual Ethernet ports, the LR0201A-KIT can serve multiple devices simultaneously, effectively distributing network access across different systems. The device also features built-in diagnostics and LED indicators for power, connection status, and data transmission, allowing for quick troubleshooting and monitoring of network performance.

Security is another pivotal aspect of the Black Box LR0201A-KIT, with support for advanced features such as VLAN tagging, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected during transmission. The ability to configure quality of service (QoS) parameters further enhances network performance by prioritizing critical data traffic.

In terms of construction, the unit is housed in a durable chassis designed to withstand various environmental conditions, making it suitable for deployment in both indoor and outdoor settings. Its compact size allows for easy integration into existing setups, ensuring that users canmaximize their space without compromising on performance.

In summary, the Black Box LR0201A-KIT is a reliable solution for organizations seeking to extend their Ethernet networks over long distances. With its combination of high-speed data transfer, user-friendly installation, dual-port capability, and robust security features, it stands out as a valuable tool for maintaining effective and efficient communications in diverse operational contexts.
