Overview  
AT-MC606 Port Descriptions  
VDSL Line Port The VDSL Line port features a BNC coaxial connector. It allows you to  
connect two AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender units together using an  
existing internal building coaxial cable. One AT-MC606 VDSL Network  
Extender is configured as a Provider unit and the other as a Subscriber  
unit.  
10Base-T/ The AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender has one 10Base-T/100Base-Tx  
Ethernet port which allows you to connect one AT-MC606 configured as a  
Subscriber unit to an Ethernet device and a second AT-MC606 configured  
as a Provider unit to an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) in the building  
100Base-Tx  
Ethernet Port  
equipment room. This twisted pair port features an RJ-45 connector with a  
maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). For the port pinout  
details, refer to “RJ-45 Port Pinouts” on page 20.  
Type of Cabling  
The 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet port is designed to operate with  
unshielded twisted pair cables. For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3 or  
better 100 ohm unshielded twisted pair cabling is required. For 100 Mbps  
operation, Category 5 and Enhanced Category 5 (5E) 100 ohm unshielded  
twisted pair cabling is recommended.  
Auto MDI/MDI-X  
A 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet port on a network device can have one  
of two possible wiring configurations: MDI or MDI-X. The Ethernet port on  
a PC, router, or bridge is typically wired as MDI, while the twisted pair port  
on a switch or hub is usually MDI-X.  
The AT-MC606 Ethernet port features automatic MDI/MDI-X. The port  
automatically determines the configuration of its end-node and then  
configures itself appropriately. For example, if the AT-MC606 Ethernet  
port is connected to a port on a bridge, which is typically wired as MDI, the  
AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender automatically configures the Ethernet  
port to MDI-X. This feature allows you to use either straight-through or  
crossover cables when connecting the AT-MC606 to other Ethernet  
devices.  
Auto-Negotiation  
The AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender auto-negotiates the speed and  
duplex mode of the Ethernet link, so that the link comes up in the highest  
performance configuration supported by both ends. For example, if an end  
node is capable of only 10 Mbps, the AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender  
sets its Ethernet port to 10 Mbps or if an end node is capable of 100 Mbps,  
18

AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender Installation Guide  
the Ethernet port is set to 100 Mbps.  
Half- and Full-duplex Mode  
Duplex mode refers to the way an end-node sends and receives data on  
the network. An end-node can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode,  
depending on its capabilities. In half-duplex mode, data can be either sent  
or received, but not at the same time. In full-duplex mode, data can be  
sent and received simultaneously. The best network performance is  
achieved when an end-node can operate at full-duplex, since the  
end-node is able to send and receive data simultaneously.  
The AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender can Auto-Negotiate to either half-  
or full-duplex mode, but cannot be manually configured to either mode. As  
a consequence, the end node must also be operating in the Auto-  
Negotiation mode for proper operation.  
Note  
For Auto-Negotiation to operate properly, the end-nodes connected  
to the AT-MC606 should also use auto-negotiation. If an end-node  
does not have this feature and has a fixed duplex mode of full-  
duplex, the result will be a duplex mode mismatch with the end-  
node. The AT-MC606 Ethernet port ends up in the half-duplex mode  
if it is connected to an end-node with a fixed full-duplex mode. This  
configuration can produce network performance problems. Should  
you encounter this situation, you must configure the port on the end-  
node to use Auto-Negotiation or, if it lacks that feature, to half-  
duplex.

SCBR/PROV VDSL Configuration Switch  
Descriptions  
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.

Overview  
ASYM/SYM VDSL Configuration Switch  
The ASYM/SYM (Right Center) switch selects the maximum data rate for  
the VDSL line. The ASYM (asymmetrical) position is the factory default  
position, which allows the Subscriber a maximum receive data rate of 100  
Mbps and a maximum transmit data rate of 60 Mbps. The SYM  
(symmetrical) position limits the receive and transmit line rates in a  
symmetrical manner so the line rates in both directions are approximately  
the same.  
6 dB/9 dB VDSL Configuration Switch  
The 6 dB/9 dB (Right) switch selects the optimum signal to noise ratio  
(SNR) for your VDSL line which is dependent on the line length of the  
coaxial cable. The factory default setting for this switch is 6 dB SNR and  
assumes that your VDSL line is less than 305 meters (1000 feet) in length.  
Select the 9 dB SNR setting if your VDSL line is between 305 meters and  
3000 meters (9842 feet) or if a more stable link and more noise protection  
is needed.

Overview  
Applications for the AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender  
The AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender is designed to be used in pairs to  
extend Ethernet traffic over existing coaxial cables in a building. One  
AT-MC606 is configured as the subscriber unit and the second unit is  
configured as the provider unit. You must manually configure these units  
as a subscriber or provider unit when installed.  
If you plan to install multiple AT-MC606s in a rack or on a desktop, the  
AT-MCR12 chassis can accommodate up to 12 units. The DC power for  
all of the AT-MC606s is provided by an internal power supply within  
the AT-MCR12 chassis.  
Multiple Dwelling The AT-MC606’s can be used is in multi-dwelling units (MDU), multi-  
tenant buildings (MTU) or in the hospitality industry, such as airports,  
hotels, and convention centers. For example, Figure 5 illustrates a point-  
to-point topology for an MDU building where internet services are

Figure 6. IP Surveillance Point-to-Point Topology  
In this case, each AT-MC606 Provider unit is installed within 100 meters of  
its IP Surveillance camera and is connected with a standard Ethernet  
cable. (Since the AT-MC606 features auto MDI/MDI-X, you may use either  
a cross-over or straight-through cable.)The AT-MC606 Subscriber units  
are located in the building’s central equipment room and are connected to  
the Provider unit/camera combination over existing building coaxial  
cables. The Subscriber units are rack mounted together in AT-MCR12  
chassis and their Ethernet ports are connected to an Ethernet LAN. In this  
example, the Surveillance camera data server is connected to the same  
LAN. Through this connection, the server is capable of receiving Ethernet  
video data from each camera, while sending Ethernet control data to the  
cameras. Both Subscriber and Provider units are configured for  
asymmetrical data mode to maximize the amount of data being sent to the  
Subscriber and minimize the amount of data being sent to the Provider.
