1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION Patton Electronics warrants all Model 2151 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.
tion. The device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable pro- tection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular instal- lation.
• Do not open the device when the power cord is con- nected. For systems without a power switch and without an external power adapter, line voltages are present within the device when the power cord is connected.

In accordance with the requirements of council direc- tive 2002/96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), ensure that at end-of-life you sepa- rate this product from other waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE collection system in your country for recy- cling.
(R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2151 is config- ured as a L or R via the switch on the bottom of the unit. These units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2- wire voice-grade twisted-pair link.
The pair of 2151 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- tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem- CAUTION perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
Figure 2. Model 2151 standalone rear panel 3.1 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper applica- tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem- CAUTION perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability. The Model 2151 supports communication between two peer Ethernet LAN sites over a distance of up to 5,750 ft (1.7 km) over 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.
1. To function properly, the two Model 2151s must be connected together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through signal equalization equipment are not acceptable. 2. The Model 2151 is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack that can be used on the CopperLINK interface.
CAUTION perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability. The Model 2151 does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon as it is plugged in. 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 2151.

4.2 CONFIGURING DIP SWITCH S1 DIP switch S1 is where you configure the CopperLINK line. The following tables describe the configuration for the 2151. Table 1: 2151 Firmware Configuration S1-1 Position Master/ Slave Slave (CPE) Master (CO) S1-2 *. DS = Downstream, US = Upstream Once the Model 2151s are properly installed, they should operate trans- parently.
5.2 FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS The Model 2151 features six front panel LEDs that monitor power, the Ethernet signals, the CopperLINK connection, and the remote/local set- ting. Figure 7 shows the front panel location of each LED. Table 2 on page 15 describes the LED functions.
Two-wire unconditioned twisted pair. A.3 COPPERLINK LINE RATE AND COPPERLINK DISTANCE • Line Rate: 15/15 Mbps, upstream/downstream. Additional five line rates are available via DIP switch settings. • Distance: 5,750 ft (1.7 km) at 1 Mbps upstream/4 Mbps downstream Note Distances depend on selected line rate and line conditions.
