Hi Binoy,

You need to buy/get a LRE (Long Reach Ethernet) switch to use the CPE.

Hi again!

The LRE switch has two GE port (10/100/1000). With one of this you can connect to a normal switch with crossover cable. If you want to use the LRE side, you need a CPE to "terminate" to a ethernet port. CPE uses xDSL between LRE switch, so that Ethernet and ordinarie Telephone service can run over it.
