Ethernet Extenders automatically add and delete MAC addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLink link that are meant for the remote peered LAN. Figure 1. Typical application The CopperLink/L modem and CopperLink/R modem work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to-point application.
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.
6. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.4, “Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 12). 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.
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 are shown in Figure 5. Figure 5. CopperLink Ethernet Extender twisted pair line interface. 3.4 CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE The unshielded RJ-45 port labeled MDIX10/100Base-T interface.
3.5 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 CopperLink Ethernet Extender. No configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
4.0 CONFIGURATION The CopperLink Model 2168r has eight DIP switches for configuring the unit for a wide variety of applications. This section describes switch loca- tions and explains the different configurations. The Model 2158 does not include dip switches. 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 7).

4.2 CONFIGURING DIP SWITCH S1 DIP switch S1 is where you configure the CopperLink line rate, symmet- ric or asymmetric, Ethernet full auto negotiation capability (100Base-T full or half duplex, 10Base-T full or half duplex) or limited auto sense (only 100Base-T half duplex, 10Base-T full or half duplex). Switch S1-1: Ethernet Auto Sense Use switch S1-1 to configure the unit for full auto sense capability or lim- ited auto sense capability.

Once the CopperLink Ethernet Extenders are properly installed, they should operate transparently. No user settings required. This section describes reading the LED status monitors. 5.1 POWER UP Before applying power to the CopperLink Ethernet Extender, please review section 3.5, “Connecting Power” on page 13 to verify that the unit is connected to the appropriate power source.
