4 GENERAL INFORMATION Thank you for purchasing this GDI Communications LLC. product. The XC- NT200 provides reliable, high-speed, Internet access to your existing phone line. There is no special wiring or special networking knowledge required. This modem is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. Unlike the analog modem, the XC-NT200 allows you to use your phone line for simultaneous voice/fax and high-speed communications, eliminating the need for dedicated phone lines for voice and data communications. The XC- NT200 provides reliable high-speed data communication in the harshest operating environments. It can operate in uncontrolled environments such as remote terminals or curb side distribution vaults. Installation is easy... no tools... no headaches. Simply connect the hardware, apply power, and perform the simple software configuration for your Modem. Designed to operate in the harshest environments the XC-NT200H has an operating temperature range of -37 C to +74 C, in non-condensing humidity of up to 95%. It can be set up at altitudes of up to 10,000 feet. This manual has been designed to enable you to install your XC-NT200 modem by following the step-by-step installation procedure. Follow the step-by-step installation instructions outlined in Section titled - Installation. FEATURES Easy to install standalone ADSL modems no configuration required Environmentally hardened for operation in harsh environments Auto-sensing full or half-duplex Ethernet Auto-sensing 10/100 operation Transparent operation LED indicators for Power, Ethernet Link & Activity, ADSL Sync 4

5 INSTALLATION Because the XC-NT200 requires no configuration, it can be installed and made operational quickly. Installation takes place as follows: 1. Connecting the ADSL line (refer to section titled, Connecting the ADSL Line Interface on page 6) See Figure 4 for the rear panel connector arrangements. 2. Connecting the Ethernet interface (refer to section titled, Connecting the LAN (10/100Base-T) Ethernet Interface on page 7). 3. Connecting the power plug (refer to section titled, Connecting Power on page 8). XC- ADSL Line Power Jack Ethernet Access (LAN) Figure 1. XC-NT200 standalone rear panel 5

6 CONNECTING TO THE ADSL LINE INTERFACE The XC-NT200 supports High-speed communications over 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire. Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on the environment and type or gauge of wire used. Follow the steps below to connect the XC-NT200 ADSL Interface to the DSL ready telephone line. Connect a telephone phone cable from the DSL-equipped telephone line jack to the jack marked ADSL on the rear panel of the modem. To function properly, the XC-NT200 must be connected to the telephone line using twisted-pair wire between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). The interface is bipolar making the TIP and RING connection non-critical. The diagram below shows the pin configuration of the ADSL jack on the XC- NT200. Figure 2. XC-NT200(RJ11) ADSL line interface. 6

7 CONNECTING THE LAN (ETHERNET) INTERFACE The RJ-45 port labeled LAN is the 10/100BaseT/TX interface. This port is designed to connect directly to a 10/100BaseT/TX network. Figure 3 shows the signal/pin relationships on this interface. You may connect this port to another Ethernet device via a Cat 3 or Cat 5 cable that is up to 328 ft long. RX+ (data input to XC- NT200) RX- (data input to TX+ (data output from XC- TX- (data output from XC- Figure 3. XC-NT200 LAN (10/100BaseT/TX) RJ-45 Connector Pin out. Connecting the LAN (10/100BaseT/TX) Ethernet Port to a Hub The XC-NT200 LAN interface is configured as DCE (Data Communications Equipment), just like a 10/100BaseT/TX network hub or a switch. Therefore, it "expects" to connect to a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device such as a PC or a router. When connecting to a DTE it typically uses a straight through cable as shown in figure 4 below.

8 CONNECTING POWER An external AC cube style power supply is available. Power to the XC-NT200 is connected using the barrel jack on the rear panel. No configuration is necessary for the power supply. AC power supplied must meet the following requirements; 12VAC. The barrel type plug has a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions. The XC-NT200 does not have a power switch, it powers up as soon as it is plugged in. 8

9 OPERATION Once the XC-NT200 is properly installed, the set should operate transparently. No user settings are required. This section describes the LED status monitors. POWER UP Before applying power to the XC-NT200, please review section titled, Connecting Power to verify that the unit is connected to the appropriate power source. FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS The XC-NT200 features four front panel LEDs that monitor power, the Ethernet signals, and the ADSL Connection. Figure 5 shows the front panel Power XC- ADSL Link (RDY) Ethernet (ADSL) Activity (ACT) location of these displays. Table 1 describes the LED functions. Figure 5. XC-NT200 Front panel LED location 9
