Figure 10-9: FM-8Vi module
The FM-8Vi module has eight 10 Mbps VDSL ports, using one standard RJ-21 connector,
and eight internal loopback ports for ingress rate-shaping. The FM-8Vi module supports
10BASE-S.
The default configuration of the FM-8Vi module is as follows:
• All ports are added to the default VLAN as untagged.
• All ports inherit the properties of the default VLAN (protocol type, VLANid, and so
forth).
• All ports operate in autonegotation mode.
Connecting the FM-8Vi Module to the Mogul-100
The FM-8Vi uses a single RJ-21 connector for the eight VDSL ports on the module. The
cable connector on the FM-8Vi has a Velcro
™
strap to secure the connector on the cable
to the module.
To deliver this VDSL connection to a subscriber, the bundle of twisted pairs that are
contained in the RJ-21 cable must be separated for connection to individual Mogul-100
customer premises equipment. Typically, you connect the cable from the FM-8Vi to a
punch-down block and wire the individual VDSL circuits into RJ-11 jacks for connection
to the Mogul-100s. Use the two center conductors of the RJ-11 connector to connect the
wire pairs.
Your particular installation depends on the physical cabling in your building.
The connector on the FM-8Vi requires a male terminated RJ-21 cable. The FM-8Vi uses
eight of the twenty-five pairs in the cable. Because the RJ-21 standard was established
