FM-8Vi Module
Figure 112 shows the FM-8Vi module.
Figure 112: FM-8Vi module
The FM-8Vi module has eight 10 Mbps VDSL ports, using one standard RJ-21 connector, and eight
internal loopback ports for ingress rate-shaping. The FM-8Vi module supports 10BASE-S.
internal loopback ports for ingress rate-shaping. The FM-8Vi module supports 10BASE-S.
The default configuration of the FM-8Vi module is as follows. All ports:
•
Are added to the default VLAN as untagged.
•
Inherit the properties of the default VLAN (protocol type, VLANid, and so forth).
•
Operate in autonegotation mode.
Connecting the FM-8Vi Module to the Mogul-100
The FM-8Vi uses a single RJ-21 connector for the eight VDSL ports on the module. The cable connector
on the FM-8Vi has a Velcro

strap to secure the connector on the cable to the module.
To deliver this VDSL connection to a subscriber, the bundle of twisted pairs that are contained in the
RJ-21 cable must be separated for connection to individual Mogul-100 customer premises equipment.
Typically, you connect the cable from the FM-8Vi to a punch-down block and wire the individual VDSL
circuits into RJ-11 jacks for connection to the Mogul-100 units. Use the two center conductors of the
RJ-11 connector to connect the wire pairs.

Your particular installation depends on the physical cabling in your building.
The connector on the FM-8Vi requires a male terminated RJ-21 cable. Specifications for this cable are
listed in Table 117 on page 353. The FM-8Vi uses eight of the twenty-five pairs in the cable.
