Planet VC-230N [6/77] Introduction

1. Introduction

The PLANET Wired / Wireless VDSL2 Router, VC-230 / VC-230N are based on several

core networking technologies: IEEE 802.11b/g/n (VC-230N), Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very

High Speed Digital Subscriber Line 2). This technology offers the absolute fastest data

transmission speeds over existing copper telephone lines without the need for rewiring. In

the following terms of VDSL2 Router will mean VC-230 or VC-230N unless model number

is specified.

The PLANET VDSL2 ROUTER can provide very high performance access to Internet, both

downstream and upstream up to 100Mbps. The VDSL2 ROUTER complies with ITU-T

G993.2 standard, and provide two modes for applications – Bridge and Router. With 4-port

10/100 Ethernet switch, it provide data deliver and receive in local network, so that it is the

best solution for small enterprise and residence.

With built-in IEEE 802.11b/g and 802.11n wireless network capability, the VC-230N allows

any computer and wireless-enabled network device connect to it without additional cabling.

New 802.11n Draft 2.0 wireless capability gives you the highest speed of wireless

experience ever. With a compatible wireless card installed in your PC, the files can be

transferred at up to 300Mbps. The radio coverage is also doubled to offer the high speed

wireless connection even in a wide space of your office or house.

There are two selectable operating modes of VDSL2 ROUTER, CO and CPE. The CO or

CPE mode can be adjusted by WEB UI and users can connect two VDSL2 ROUTER for

Point-to-Point Application, data transmission between two networks over existing copper

telephone lines.

Via the user-friendly management interface, VDSL2 ROUTER can be managed easily by

computer running standard web browsers. Furthermore, the VDSL2 ROUTER not only

provides basic router’s functions, such as DHCP server, Virtual Server, DMZ, QoS, and

UPnP, but also provides the fully firewall functions, such as Network Address Translation

(NAT), IP/Port/MAC Filtering and Content Filtering. It serves as an Internet firewall to protect

your network from being accessed by outside users.
