    (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2172A is configured 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.

  • Page 9: Installation

    The pair of 2172A 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.

    1. To function properly, the two Model 2172As 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 2172A is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack that can be used on the CopperLINK interface.

    CAUTION perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability. The Model 2172A 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 2172A.
