LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PC’s, or any other network enabled 10Base-T device. Operating in pairs, a Model 2155/L (local) located at one end of the LAN extension and a Model 2155/R (remote) at the other end, these units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2- wire voice-grade twisted-pair link.

Figure 1. Typical application The 2155/L and 2155/R work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to- point application.
Follow the steps below to connect the CopperLink interfaces. Note Model 2155 units work in pairs. One of the units must be a Model 2155/L (local) and the other unit must be a Model 2155/R (remote). 3.0 INSTALLATION...
3.2 CONNECTING 10BASE-T ETHERNET PORT TO PC (DTE) The 10Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equip- ment). If the Model 2155 is to to connect to another DTE device such as a 10Base-T network interface card, construct a 10Base-T crossover cable and connect the wires as shown in Figure 4.
3.4 CONNECTING POWER An external AC or DC power supply is available separately. This connec- tion is made via the barrel jack on the rear panel of the Model 2155. No configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B on page 16 for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
An approved external power supply that incorporates a disconnect device must be used and positioned within easy reach of the operator’s position. Caution Connect the equipment to a 5 VDC source that is electri- cally isolated from the AC source. The 5 VDC source is to be reliably connected to earth.
LED status monitors. 4.1 FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS The Model 2155 features six front-panel LEDs that monitor connections on the DSL and 10Base-T links, signaling, error and test modes. Figure 7 shows the front panel location of each LED. Table 1 describes the LED functions.

Table 1: LED status monitor indications DSL Link (Active Green) Solid green (On) indicates that the end to end DSL Framer Link is up, signifying that the link across the DSL span is active. The DSL Link LED is Off when the Status Blinks yellow from one to eleven times to indicate system status.
RDL initiated To use the Remote Digital Loopback tests, do the following: 1. Locate the 511/RDL toggle switch on the front panel of the 2155 and move it DOWN. This initiates the RDL and sends a 511 pattern into the loop. If any errors are present, the local modem’s red “ER” LED will blink.
