1.0 XL-12000B PRODUCT OVERVIEW TUT SYSTEMS 1
1.0 XL-12000B Product Overview
The XL-12000B modem is a high-speed, SDSL (Symmetrical
Digital Subscriber Line) point-to-point modem created to extend
Local Area Networks (LANs) up to 12,000 feet using ordinary
telephone wires. The modem uses Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
transmission technology to deliver data at 2 Mbps.
The XL-12000B is designed for easy installation. Front panel LEDs
provide status and operational information. The modem is ideally
suited for connecting LANs in a campus environment where LANs
may be spread out over two miles. The XL-12000B units function
as a pair; one as Master and the other as Slave. The XL-12000B will
function as a bridge using Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) connecting
two independent segments. This mode allows the modem to pass
both IP and non-IP packets transparently making the segments a
single network. Examples of non-IP packets include Novell’s IPXTM
and Apple’s AppleTalkTM.

• RJ-11 DSL Line Cable
• Wall Transformer w/ Lightning Protection

4.0 Installation
1. Remove the modem and wall transformer from the shipping
carton. Remove the wall transformer from its box. Remove the
plastic wrapper from around the modem.
2. Remove the cable ties from each of the cables and place them
side by side.
Each of the cables is identified as follows:
(1) RJ-45 10Base-T straight-through cable: A cable with RJ-45
connectors is used to connect the modem to a 10Base-T
hub or node. If connecting to a node (PC, server or work-
station), the switch on the back of the modem will allow
this cable to be used like a cross-over cable (Figure 4.1).
Figure 4.1 RJ-45 10 Base-T Straight-through Cable
(2) RJ-11 DSL Line cable: A cable with RJ-11 connectors at
each end. RJ-11 connectors have four contacts and are
smaller than the RJ-45 connectors, which have eight contacts.
The diameter of the RJ-11 cable is smaller than the RJ-45
cable. This cable is used to connect the modem to the
telephone jack (Figure 4.2).
Note: RJ-11 cables generally have four contacts and six pinout
positions. The pinout assignments for the RJ-11 and RJ-45
connectors are provided in Appendix A.

3. Select a convenient location near the Ethernet device to which
the modem will be connected. The modem should be kept away
from excessive heat or cold. Operating temperature range is
-5˚C to 55˚C.
4. Connect an RJ-45 straight-through cable from the 10Base-T
Ethernet connector of the XL-12000B to an Ethernet device (PC,
server, workstation or hub) as shown in Figure 4.3. If connecting
to a PC, server, or workstation, set the Ethernet connection
switch on the back of the modem to the “Crossed” position.
If connecting to a 10Base-T hub, set the switch to “Normal”.
5. Connect the RJ-11 DSL Line cable from the DSL connector on
the modem to the telephone jack.
6. Verify that you have a telephone line linking the two XL-12000B
modems. Verify that this line has no bridge taps and is generally
free of noise.
7. Connect the wall transformer as shown in Figure 4.3.
