Overview
This document contains instructions necessary for the installation
and operation of the Perle 10/100 and Gigabit (10/100/1000)
Advanced Powered Ethernet Extenders. These Ethernet
Extenders enable Ethernet communication across a single pair of
copper wires such as 2-wire twisted pair telephone wire or coax
cable using VDSL2 technology for extended distances.
The Perle Advanced Power Ethernet Extenders are available in L
and E models such as the eXP-1S110E and the eXP-1S110L. In
order to use the advanced power functions, an L model must
always be used in conjunction with an E model. These Ethernet
Extenders can also be used with other Perle Ethernet Extenders
if advanced power functionality is not required.
In a typical installation the L model would be at a central site and
the E model at a remote site and the L model would power the E
model via the VDSL line.
L Models Characteristics
The L models, such as the eXP-4S1110L-RJ are typically used in
the central location and have the following characteristics.
•Can provide power over the VDSL line and communicate with
a remote Extender (E or PE model) over the same VDSL line.
•Can communicate with any other Perle Ethernet Extender if
remote powering is not required.
•Can draw power from the Terminal Block connector, Barrel
connector or from the Ethernet port 1 (if connected to a
compatible PoE Power Sourcing Device (PSE) such as a
switch).
E and PE Models Characteristics
The E or PE models such as the eXP-4S110E-RJ are typically
used in the remote location and have the following
characteristics.
•Can be powered by and communicate with an L model over
the VDSL line. Alternatively, they can draw power from the
Terminal Block or Barrel connector.
•They can communicate with any other Perle Ethernet Extender
if power by VDSL link is not required
•Can act as a PSE to power equipment connected to the
Ethernet port.

Installation
These are the steps required to configure a pair of Advanced
Power Ethernet Extenders.
1. Set the Dip switches on each Ethernet Extender (if needed).
See Bank 1 - Dip Switches for more information.
2. Set Power Sourcing Jumpers (If needed) (E and PE models
only).
3. Connect Line cables to the Line ports. See Connecting to
the Line Port for more information. If using VDSL Line
Power see Remote Powering Using VDSL Line Power
4. Connect the Ethernet cables to the Ethernet ports.
5. Connect the Power Cord relief clip (if needed).
6. Connect the Grounding Lug (if needed).

Dip Switches
The default Dip Switch settings (all UP) will work for most
installations, however it is recommended that one Ethernet
Extender should be configured for Auto Local mode (Auto CO)
and the other for Remote mode (CPE).
The Dip switches are accessible through an opening on the back
of the unit.
NOTE: All switch changes take effect immediately and will result
in a link reset on both the Line and the Ethernet port(s).
Bank 1 - Dip Switches
Auto Local (CO) / Remote (CPE)
Switch Position Mode
On (Default) Auto Local
Off Remote
NOTE: Ethernet Extenders work in pairs. One side of the link
must take on the VDSL role of Local or CO device and the other
side the role of Remote or CPE device.
Auto Local: If both units are set to Auto Local, the Auto Connect
feature will be activated and the two units will automatically
negotiate with each other and assume a role (Local for one and
6
Remote for the other) and establish a connection. Since VDSL2
is not completely symmetrical, it is usually preferable to set (via
this Dip switch) one unit to Auto Local and one unit to Remote,
thus forcing the roles on each unit. This will guarantee the higher
bandwidth in the desired direction and may result in slightly faster
training times.
Remote: This Ethernet Extender is forced to assume the Remote
role of operation.
NOTE: This switch only affects the role that each Ethernet
Extender will play in the VDSL communications and has no
relationship to which Ethernet Extender will be providing power
over the VDSL link. Providing power over the VDSL link can only
be done by an L model.
Rate/Reach (Speed) (Switch 2)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) High Speed
Down Long-Range
High Speed: In this mode, the VDSL connection will be
optimized for speed and the effective bidirectional data rate will
be up to 100 Mbps in each direction. This setting also enables
VDSL Fast Mode.
Long Range: In this mode, the VDSL connection will be
optimized for distance and the achievable distance will be up to 3
km.
NOTE: The actual distance and rates may vary depending on the
environment and type/gauge of wire used. For information on
hardware specifications, range and reach see the Perle website
at www.perle.com.
Symmetric/Asymmetric (Switch 3)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Symmetric
Down Asymmetric
Symmetric: Set this switch to Symmetric if your network data
needs are almost equal for uploads and downloads (both
directions).
7
Asymmetric: Set this switch to Asymmetric if your network data
needs are primarily for downloads. (Larger bandwidths will be
available in the direction of the Remote/CPE Ethernet Extender).
Signal to Noise Ratio (Switch 4)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) 9dB
Down 6dB
This switch is used to configure the Signal to Noise Ratio Margin
(SNR). The Ethernet Extender will attempt to maintain the
desired SNR value by adjusting line settings. A larger dB number
will result in less line errors and a more stable connection, but
may result in slower speeds.
Signal to noise ratio 9dB: This setting is recommended if Rate
(Switch 2) has been set to High Speed.
Signal to noise ratio 6dB: This setting is recommended if Rate
(Switch 2) has been set to Long Range.
Line Loopback (Switch 5)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Off
Down On
Line Loopback Mode off: This is default position for normal
operation.
Line Loopback Mode on: This is a test mode. All data received
on the Line connection is internally looped back and
retransmitted back over the Line. This mode will override
Ethernet and Link Mode switch settings.
Ethernet Auto Negotiation (AutoNeg) (Switch 6)
(affects Port 1)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) AutoNeg On
Down AutoNeg Off
NOTE: AutoNeg should only be turned off if fixed settings are
required by the Ethernet copper link partner.
8
Ethernet AutoNeg allows you to control of the Ethernet
communications parameters on Ethernet Port 1. If the Ethernet
device to be connected on port 1 cannot operate with
conventional Ethernet Auto negotiation, then switches 7 and 8
can be used to specify these parameters.
Ethernet AutoNeg On: When enabled, the Ethernet Extender
will Auto-negotiate Ethernet Link parameters with its link partner.
It will advertise capabilities of 10,100 Mbps or 10, 100, 1000
Mbps (depending on the model), full and half duplex, pause and
remote fault.
Ethernet AutoNeg Off: When this switch is set to the Off
position, the Ethernet Extender will use the Ethernet Speed
(Switch 7) and Ethernet Duplex (Switch 8) Dip switch settings.
Ethernet Speed (Switch 7) (affects Port 1 only)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) 100 Mb
Down 10 Mb
NOTE: This switch is only used if Auto-negotiation has been
turned off (Switch 6).
Ethernet Duplex (Switch 8) (affects Port 1 only)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Full Duplex
Down Half Duplex
NOTE: This switch is only used if Auto-negotiation has been
turned off (Switch 6).
Bank 2
Link Mode (Switch 1) (1 port models only)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Standard Mode
Down Link Pass-through
Standard Mode: In this mode, the Ethernet Extender will not
pass the state of the Ethernet interface across the Line
9
connection to its remote connection. A loss of link on the
Ethernet interface can occur without affecting the remote
connection.
Link Pass-Through: In this mode, the Ethernet Extender will
pass the state of the Ethernet interface across the Line
connection to its peer. If link is lost on the Ethernet connection,
then the Ethernet connection on the remote Ethernet Extender
will be brought down. This is accomplished by signalling Link
Pass-Through across the VDSL line without bringing down the
VDSL link.
NOTE: Link Pass-Through will need to be enabled on both the
Local and Remote Ethernet Extender.
Link Pass-Through
If the Ethernet link is broken, its state is reflected on the peer’s
Ethernet link.
Interlink Fault Feedback (Switch 2) (1 port models)
Switch position Mode
Up (default) Standard Mode
Down Interlink Fault Feedback
Standard Mode: The status of the VDSL interface will not be
passed to its Ethernet interface
Interlink Fault Feedback: The status of the VDSL interface will
be passed to its Ethernet interface. If the VDSL line link is lost
the Ethernet link will be brought down.
10
Interlink Fault Feedback
The 10/100 or 10/100/1000 ports (LNK) on each of the links will
be turned off if the VDSL link is broken.
PSE Power (Switch 3, 4) (applies to port 1 on eXP-
xS110E/1110/P/E models))
These switches are used on the E and PE models to indicate the
type of device detection required when connecting a PD to port 1
of the Ethernet Extender. In most circumstances or if the device
type is unknown, the default (Normal) should be used as per
IEEE802.3af/at standards.
Switch
Position 3 Switch
Position 4 Type
Up (default) Up (default) Normal
Up Down High capacitance
Down Up Legacy device
Down Down Normal
PD Power Reset (Switch 5) (Port 1 E/PE models)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Disabled
Down Enabled
Enabled: When enabled, the Ethernet Extender will upon loss of
link on the VDSL line port or Link-Passthrough, turn off PSE
output power to the PD device (attached to port 1) for 2 seconds
then turn the power back on. The power will then remain on until
the VDSL link transitions from link up to link down state.
