Centurylink technicolor C2100-C2100T Modem User Manual

Seamless Video over Next-Gen Wi-Fi
With its support of dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11n 2.4 GHz and the next-generation IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard for the 5 GHz band), the C2100T is a powerful and future-proof smart gateway enabling high-speed wireless HD video streaming inside the home. Thanks to its integrated wireless video bridge featuring a robust chipset and 4×4 antennas, it can support multiple HD TV channels over the clean 5 GHz radio. Furthermore, its advanced architecture guarantees a very low packet error rate on the wireless link, resulting in a 100% smooth and flicker-free wire-quality viewing experience. Simultaneously, it guarantees uninterrupted transmission of data services over IEEE 802.11n using the 2.4 GHz band.

Optimizing your WAN Bandwidth

In this bandwidth-hungry era of IPTV, real-time HD video streaming, and VoIP – to name but a few – operators need to stay competitive and keep costs down, among others by taking advantage of existing facilities as much as possible.
Our C2100T innovation helps you get the most out of your network by letting you re-use existing copper wiring and giving higher coverage from one DSLAM. Moreover, it is a powerful future-proof triple-play service gateway allowing VDSL2 connectivity while providing Voice over IP functions for residential users.

HomePNA for Premium In-Home

Networking
The C2100T features a built-in HPNA 3.1 adapter that allows to distribution of high-quality data and video inside the home over existing coax wires. Hence, it is ideal for IPTV deployments with minimal impact on subscribers’ homes: set-top boxes can be directly connected to the gateway over the present network infrastructure. Furthermore, the HPNA adapter enables HD streaming speeds of up to 256 Mbps and an advanced QoS.

The Ultimate in Ultra Broadband
The accelerating growth of WAN and LAN traffic is pushing operators to look to ultra-high-speed network technologies to solve the bandwidth crunch. VDSL2 combined with Gigabit Ethernet enables extremely high bandwidth and guarantees superior quality in voice, data, and video. Some of the latest performance- enhancing technologies have been added on top, to get the utmost out of existing infrastructures:

  • Bonding: works by combining multiple wire pairs to increase available capacity, or extend the copper network’s reach. It typically combines two regular VDSL2 lines into a single, virtual “big pipe”.
  • G.vector: effectively cancels the crosstalk noise inherently present in VDSL2 bands. With vectoring, every line in a binder can operate at peak performance, as if there were no other VDSL2 lines in that binder.
  • G.inp (“Impulse Noise Protection”): makes sure that no errors occur on the DSL connection, even under extreme conditions, so that high-quality video transmission is guaranteed at all times. It is based on the principle of retransmission.
  • Furthermore, the latest wireless technologies ensure robust in-home wireless distribution which reduces wiring complexity and provides true mobility without sacrificing Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) or transfer speeds.

Easy to Use

Like all Technicolor modems and gateways, the C2100T is an easy-to-use, easy- to-install gateway. For the convenience of the end user, the easy-to-access LEDs provide a clear indication of the start-up sequence, operational status, and connectivity status. Multiple integrated web pages also allow direct access to the status and settings, including privacy and security information.

Easy to Manage
The C2100T is compliant with the TR-069 data model through which the device can be configured remotely by the operator without interrupting the end user’s experience.

Voice over IP
The C2100T offers VoIP functions for residential and business users. POTS phone connectors are provided to accommodate regular phones and faxes. Once the gateway is registered with a VoIP service, regular phone calls can be conducted over the Internet with all the benefits of IP telephony.

IPv6 Enabled
With the approaching IPv4 address pool depletion, our products need to be ready for IPv6. Technicolor is a frontrunner in the introduction of IPv6 on its devices, with the C2100T being enabled for multiple IPv6 field scenarios. Internet Protocol version 6 is the next generation of Internet technologies aiming to effectively support the ever-expanding Internet usage and functionality and also to address security concerns that exist in an IPv4 environment.
Technicolor aims to introduce IPv6 as smoothly as possible in customer networks. By providing in-depth knowledge of the networking stack, we guide our customers in their transition from IPv4 to IPv6.

ECO
Technicolor is committed to offering its customers sustainable products and implements a set of ECO features to reach the best possible environmental performance. In addition to carefully selected plastics and packaging to minimize the ecological footprint, the C2100T benefits from a unique combination of hardware and software features that reduce power consumption substantially.
