Configuration
The configuration software allows you to adjust and monitor the 
operating parameters of the media converter. Some of the functions 
that you can perform with the software include:
❑ Determine the VDSL link status
❑ Set the upstream and downstream data transfer rates
❑ Monitor the status of the VDSL parameters on both the local and 
remote units
❑ Monitor the status of the Ethernet parameters on both the local 
and remote units
❑ Link recovery
The AT-S57 configuration software is included on the Documentation 
CD included with the network extender. The default settings may be 
adequate for some networks and may not need to be changed. If this is 
true for your network, then you can use the network extenders by simply 
connecting the units to your network, as explained in ”Installation” on 
page 20.
Note
The default settings for the configuration software can be found in 
Appendix A”” on page 51.
To actively configure a network extender by changing or adjusting its 
operating parameters, you must access the AT-S57 software while 
connected to the AT-MC602 Provider unit. The AT-S57 software has a 
menu interface that makes it very easy to use.
