3.0 INSTALLATION Because the CopperLink Ethernet Extender requires no configuration, it can be installed quickly. If you are installing a standalone unit, refer to section 3.1 “Standalone unit installation”. Otherwise, refer to section 3.2 “Rack card installation”. Note If asymmetric transmission or line rates other than 12.5 Mbps are required (Model 2168 only), refer to section 4.0, “Configura- tion (Model 2168 Only)” on page 14. 3.1 STANDALONE UNIT INSTALLATION Do the followi

3.2 RACK CARD INSTALLATION The CopperLink Ethernet Extender rack card comprised a front card and a rear card.Do the following to install the cards into the rack chassis: 1. Slide the rear card into the back of the chassis along the metal rails. 2. Secure the rear card using the supplied metal screws. 3. Slide the front card into the chassis until you feel resistance as the front card engages the rear card. When that happens, gently push the front card forward until it

6. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.4, “Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 11). 3.3 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE The CopperLink Ethernet Extender supports communication between two peer Ethernet LAN sites over a distance of up to 6,000 ft (1.83 km) over 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire. Note Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on the environment and type/gauge of wire used. Follow the steps below t

The terminal block connector on the CopperLink Ethernet Extender's twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin relationships is shown in Figure 5. Figure 5. CopperLink Ethernet Extender twisted pair line interface. 3.4 CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE The shielded RJ-45 port labeled Ethernet is the 10/100Base-T interface. This port is designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-T network. Figure 6 shows

Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub The CopperLink Ethernet Extender 10/100Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), just like a 10/100Base-T network interface card in a PC. Therefore, it “expects” to connect to a 10/100Base-T Hub using a straight-through RJ-45 cable. Figure 7 dia- grams the cable wiring for connecting the CopperLink Ethernet Extender to a 10/100Base-T hub. Figure 7. Wiring diagram for connecting the CopperLink Ethernet Extend

DC power (supplied via the power supply jack to the CopperLink Ether- net Extender) must meet the following requirements; DC power supplied must be regulated +5VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. Center pin is +5V. The barrel type plug has a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions. The CopperLink Ethernet Extender does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon as it is plugged in. There are no user-serviceable parts in the Copper- Link Ethernet Extender.Fuse replacement should only be

4.0 CONFIGURATION (MODEL 2168 ONLY) The CopperLink Ethernet Extender has eight DIP switches for configur- ing the unit for a wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and explains the different configurations. 4.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE DIP SWITCHES Using a small flat-tip screwdriver, remove the protective cover located on the underside of the CopperLink Ethernet Extender (see Figure 9).
