Overview

The PLANET 802.11n Wireless VDSL2 Router, VC-230N, applies 2T2R MIMO antenna technology and provides office and residential users the ideal solution for sharing a high-speed VDSL2 broadband connection and four-10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet backbone. The VC-230N is developed with three core networking technologies: IEEE 802.11b/g/n, Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line 2). Via VDSL 2 technology, the VC-230N offers very high performance access to Internet, up to 100Mbps for both downstream and upstream data transmission. VDSL2 offers the absolute fastest data transmission speed over existing copper telephone lines without the need for rewiring.

The VC-230N complies with ITU-T G993.2 standard and provides two modes for network applications – Bridge and Router. 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. 802.11n Draft 2.0 wireless capability brings users the highest speed of wireless experience ever; the data transmission rate can be as high as 300Mbps. The radio coverage is also doubled to offer high speed wireless connection even in wide space at your office or house.

To secure wireless communication, the VC-230N supports most up-to-date encryption, WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. Moreover, the VC-230N supports WPS configuration with PBC/PIN type for users easily connect to a secured wireless network.

There are two selectable VDSL2 operating modes of VC-230N: CO and CPE, which can be adjusted by Web UI. Users can setup Point-to-Point application by connecting two VC-230N, in which one in CO mode and another one in CPE mode, to transmit data in high speed between two networks over existing copper telephone lines.

The VC-230N provides user-friendly management interface to be managed easily through standard web browsers. For networking management features, the VC-230N not only provides basic router functions such as DHCP server, Virtual Server, DMZ, QoS, and UPnP, but also provides full firewall functions including Network Address Translation (NAT), IP/Port/MAC Filtering and Content Filtering. Furthermore, the VC-230N serves as an Internet firewall to protect your network from being accessed by unauthorized users.


Example Application
 

Key Features
 

 

Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access
　All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the VC-230N using only one single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
• Built-in VDSL2 Modem
　The VC-230N provides VDSL2 modem and supports all common VDSL2 connections.
• Multiple WAN Connection
　On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the VC-230N supports Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection), Fixed IP Address, PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP.
• CO and CPE Support
　The VC-230N provides the Peer-to-Peer connection. Users can select the CO and CPE mode manually.
• Bridge and Router Application
　The VC-230N supports two application modes: bridging and routing modes. Currently, the default mode is routing mode. Note: routing mode and bridging mode cannot be used simultaneously.

Advanced Internet Functions
• Virtual Servers
　This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The setup is quick and easy.
• Firewall
　The VC-230N supports simple firewall with NAT technology.
• Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
　UPnP allows automatic discovery and configuration of the Broadband Router. UPnP is supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.
• Selectable VDSL2 Profiles
　The VC-230N supports common VDSL2 profiles (30a, 17a, 12a, 12b, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) for users choice. Users can select different VDSL2 profiles based on their needs.
• User Friendly Interface
　The VC-230N can be managed and controlled through Web UI.
• DMZ Support
　The VC-230N can translate public IP addresses to private IP address to allow unlimited 2-Way communication with the servers or individual users on the Internet.  It provides the most flexibility to run programs smoothly for programs that might be restricted in NAT environment.
• RIP1/2 Routing
　It supports RIPv1/2 routing protocol for routing capability.
• VPN Pass-through Support
　PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software are transparently supported - no configuration is required.

LAN Features
• 4-Port Switch
　The VC-230N incorporates a 4-Port 10/100Base-TX switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
• DHCP Server Support
　Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other  devices upon request. The VC-230N can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.

Wireless Features
• Support IEEE 802.11b, g and 802.11n Wireless Stations
　The 802.11n standard provides backward compatibility with the 802.11b and 802.11g standard, so 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n Draft 2.0 can be used simultaneously.  IEEE 802.11n wireless technology is capable of up to 300Mbps data rate.
• Two External Antennas with MIMO Technology
　The VC-230N provides farther coverage, less dead spaces and higher throughput with 2T2R MIMO technology.
• WPS Push Button Control
　The VC-230N supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) for users to easily connect to wireless network without configuring the security.
• WEP Support
　WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported.
• WPA-PSK Support
　WPA-PSK_TKIP and WAP-PSK_AES encryption are supported.
• Wireless MAC Access Control
　The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.
