Dynamix 8Ports 4-Band VDSL IP DSLAM User’s Manual V.3
Cabling
1. Verify that the cable type is correct. Be sure RJ-45 cable connectors are securely seated in the required ports. Use
100Ω straight-through cables for all standard connections. Use Category 5 cable for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
connections, or Category 3, 4 or 5 cables for standard 10Mbps Ethernet connections. Be sure RJ-45 phone wiring,
use 18~26 gauge.
2. Make sure all devices are connected to the network. Equipment any have been unintentionally disconnected from the
network.
3. When cascading two devices using RJ-45 station ports at both ends of the cable (i.e., not an MDI port), make sure a
crossover cable is used. Crossover cable should only be used if a MDI port is not available.
Physical Configuration
If problems occur after altering the network configuration, restore the original connections, and try to track the
problem down by implementing the new changes, one step at a time. Ensure that cable distances and other physical
aspects of the installation do not exceed recommendations
System Integrity
As a last resort verify the IP DSLAM integrity with a power-on reset. Turn the power to the IP DSLAM off and then on
several times. If the problem still persists and you have completed all the preceding diagnoses, contact your dealer
for assistance.
