2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics VLINK/CO and VLINK/CP VDSL modems provide high-speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PCs, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.

Operating in pairs, a VLINK/CO (central office) located at one end of the LAN extension and a VLINK/CP (customer premise) at the other end, these units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is passed transparently (unmodified) through the VLINK modems. The VLINK modems automatically add and delete MAC addresses, only passing packets across the VDSL link that are meant for the remote peered LAN.

Figure 1. Typical application

The VLINK/CO modem and VLINK/CP modem work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs. POTS/ISDN calls can be made over a VDSL link without interfering with the data.

Figure 1 shows a typical point-to-point application.
