2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION Thank you for your purchase of this Patton Electronics product. This product has been thoroughly inspected and tested and is warranted for one year for parts and labor. If any questions or problems arise during installation or use of this product, contact Patton Electronics Technical Support at +1 (301) 975-1007.
2.2 DESCRIPTION The Patton Electronics CopperLink/L and CopperLink/R Ethernet Extenders provide high-speed LAN connections between peered Ether- net LANs, remote PCs, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device. Operating in pairs, a CopperLink/L (local) located at one end of the LAN extension and a CopperLink/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.
Because the CopperLink Ethernet Extender requires no configuration, it can be installed quickly. Note If asymmetric transmission or line rates other than 12.5 Mbps are required , refer to section 4.0, “Configuration” on page 16. 3.1 UNIT INSTALLATION Do the following: 1.
3.2 GROUNDING THE COPPERLINK ETHERNET EXTENDER Before installing the CopperLink Ethernet Extender, it is important to establish a good grounding connection first. 1. Assemble a ground wire using #10 AWG wire with green-and-yel- low-colored insulation and two ring terminals. Make the wire long enough to reach one of the following earth ground sources: —...

The RJ-45 connector on the CopperLink Ethernet Extender's twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire inter- face. The signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. CopperLink Ethernet Extender (RJ-45) twisted pair line interface. The terminal block connector on the CopperLink Ethernet Extender's twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface.
Using a Ferrite Clamp to Connect the Line Interface • The ferrite clamp that is shipped with the unit must be used as detailed in the following instructions in order to meet EMC requirements. WARNING Connecting the ferrite clamp to the RJ-45 port. To connect the ferrite clamp to the RJ-45 port: 1.
Connecting the ferrite clamp to the terminal block. To connect the ferrite clamp to the terminal block: 1. Place the cable inside the ferrite clamp, leaving about 1-2 inches of cable between the unit and clamp. 2. Wrap the cable tightly around the clamp two times and secure the wire firmly in the clamp channel.
3.4 CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE The RJ-45 port labeled Ethernet is the Auto-MDIX10/100Base-T inter- face. This port is designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-T net- work. Figure 7 shows the signal/pin relationships on this interface. You may connect this port to a hub or PC using a straight through or cross- over cable that is up to 328 ft long.
3.5 CONNECTING POWER • Do not connect power to the DC Mains at this time. • There are no user-serviceable parts in the power supply sec tion of the CopperLink Ethernet Extender. Contact Patton Elec- WARNING tronics Technical support at (301)975-1007, via our web site at http://www.patton.com, or by e-mail at support@pat- ton.com, for more information.
4.0 CONFIGURATION The CopperLink Models 2168A and 2168A/TB45 have an eight-position DIP switch for configuring the unit for a wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and explains the different configura- tions. The Model 2158A 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 8).
4.2 CONFIGURING DIP SWITCH SW DIP switch SW is where you configure the CopperLink line rate, and if the rate is symmetric or asymmetric. Switches SW-2 and SW-4: Data Rate Use switches SW-2 and SW-4 to configure the CopperLink line rates. Table 1: Symmetric CopperLink Line Rates Selection Chart SW-2 SW-3...
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 15 to verify that the unit is connected to the appropriate power source.
