1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION Patton Electronics warrants all Model 2172 components to be free from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the product should it fail within one year from the first date of the shipment. This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and does not cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized modification.
television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the cables, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re- orienting the receiving antenna, and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).
1.6 SAFETY WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY • This device contains no user serviceable parts. The equipment shall be returned to Patton Electronics for repairs, or repaired by qualified service personnel. • Mains Voltage: Ensure that the external power adapter is a listed Limited Power Source. The mains outlet that is utilized to power the devise shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker.
Operating in pairs, one Model 2172 is configured as the (L) Local unit located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2172 is con- figured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2172 is config- ured as a L or R via the switch on the rear panel.
The pair of 2172 models work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to- point application. The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-...
Note The Model 2172 units work in pairs. One of the units must be configured as a (L) Local unit, and the other unit must be config- ured as a (R) Remote unit. It does not matter which end is the L and which is the R.

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 2172. No configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for domestic and international power supply and cord options).

4.2 CONFIGURING DIP SWITCH S2 DIP switch S2 is where you configure the CopperLINK line rate, symmet- ric or asymmetric, Ethernet, and Ethernet Shutdown. Table 1 summa- rizes default positions of DIP switches S2-1 through S2-8. Detailed descriptions of each switch follow the table. Position S2-1 S2-2...

Switch S2-7: Ethernet Shutdown Use switch S2-7 to enable or disable Ethernet Shutdown. When Ethernet Shutdown is enabled, the 2172 will disable the Ethernet interface when there is no CopperLINK link detected. When Ethernet Shutdown is dis- abled, the Ethernet interface will always be enabled.
5.2 FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS The Model 2172 features three front panel LEDs that monitor power, the Ethernet signals, and the CopperLINK connection. Figure 8 shows the front panel location of each LED. Table 8 on page 17 describes the LED functions.
