LINE: Connect the user telephone cable (RJ11 interface). MODEM (or DSL): Connect the DSL interface of the ZXHN H368C. PHONE (or TEL): Connect the phone sets. The installation process is as follows: Connect the LINE interface of the ZXHN H368C to the MODEM(or DSL) interface of the splitter using the RJ-11 telephone cable, connect the phone set lines to the PHONE(or TEL) interface of the splitter, and then connect the user telephone cable port to the LINE interface of the splitter. 4 Connect the MoCA port to a Set-Top box with a coaxial cable for multimedia. 5 Connect the power Connect one terminal of the power adapter to the POWER interface of the ZXHN H368C, and the other terminal to the socket on the wall, and then switch on the power of the ZXHN H368C equipment. Checking all connection cables Check all connection cables following the below procedure. 1 Check the DSL cable connection If the DSL LED is on upon power-on of the ZXHN H368C, it indicates that the DSL line is correctly connected (Generally it takes one to two minutes to perform the DSL connection). 2 Check the computer connection 10 ZXHN H368C Users Manual If both the LINK LED on the computer adapter and the Ethernet LED of the ZXHN H368C turn green, it indicates that the computer and the ZXHN H368C equipment are correctly connected. 3 Check the telephone cable connection 11 Appendix A FAQs No. Problem and Troubleshooting 1 2 3 All indicators are OFF when the ZXHN H368C equipment is powered ON. First make sure that you have inserted the power adapter of the ZXHN H368C into a working power socket and that the ZXHN H368C has been powered ON
(the power button is pressed in). If the indicators are still OFF after confirmation of the above items, may be the hardware is damaged. You may contact local operators for maintenance. Never dismantle the equipment by yourself. Will VDSL2 affect the telephone conversation quality? Will making phone calls cause a slow online rate?
VDSL2 separates voices from data through the frequency division multiplexing technology. Therefore, voices and data run in different paths without mutual interference. Neither the access rate nor conversation quality will fall even if you are in a call and online simultaneously. How to properly install telephone extensions or other devices on the VDSL2 line?
It is recommended to connect the VDSL2 splitter to the telephone cable first and then connect the phone sets to the splitter interfaces. Installing a telephone directly before the splitter will lead to connection failure between the ZXHN H368C and the device at central office side, or an Internet access failure, or a slow connection speed. Connecting other electronic devices between the user end and splitter may affect the VDSL2 communications (since VDSL2 has a higher requirement for the line quality) and furthermore affect the normal operation of VDSL2. If the phone sets are required to be connected before the splitter, you should serially connect the MicroFilter before the phone sets (Generally, to minimize interference, only one MicroFilter can be connected before the splitter). 4 Sometimes, the VDSL2 users cannot access to the Internet normally 12 ZXHN H368C Users Manual No. Problem and Troubleshooting First check whether the ZXHN H368C is in the normal state (Check the indicators according to this users manual). If yes, the computer or application network may be faulty. This is unrelated with VDSL2. If the VDSL2 MODEM is abnormal, check the status of indicators one by one to remove the fault. It is suggested to check the following items before seeking help from operators:
1. The VDSL2 telephone cable connectors are proper. 2. The VDSL2 is away from the power cable and large-power electronic devices. 3. No telephone extensions and fax machines are connected between the VDSL2 incoming line and splitter. 4. The splitter has been installed correctly. 5. The VDSL2 MODEM has good heat dissipation ratio. What are reasons for VDSL2 synchronization failure (also referred as link down or link establishment failure)?
5 13 ZXHN H368C Users Manual No. Problem and Troubleshooting If the VDSL2 suddenly fails to be synchronized (link down) during application, usually the Link indicator on the MODEM will not be ON. It is suggested to check the following steps one by one:
1. First check the quality of incoming cables and incoming cable connectors. 2. Install the VDSL2 MODEM correctly based on the user guidance. Minimize the number of taps. 3. Check whether the telephone cables and VDSL2 are in good connection or whether the telephone cables are normal. 4. Try to disconnect the splitter and directly connect the VDSL2 MODEM to the incoming user cable end. Ensure the problem is not due to improper installation or incoming user line quality. If the VDSL2 can be synchronized again, it means that installation of the incoming user side is improper. Please reinstall it according to the user guide. 5. If the VDSL2 still fails to be synchronized when the VDSL2 MODEM is connected to the incoming user cable end, contact the operators to check whether it is due to external line failure or MODEM failure. 6. If the splitter problem is determined, call the operator for maintenance or replacement. 7. If the problem is due to the end office equipment failure, call the operator to confirm it. 8. Too long connection cable between the splitter and VDSL2 MODEM may cause poor anti-interference performance and synchronization difficulty. Therefore, the connection cable should not be too long. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
