EtherWAN ED3638 Quick Installation Manual

ED3638
This quick start guide describes how to install and use the Hardened Ethernet Extender over coaxial cable.
This is the Hardened Ethernet Extender of choice for harsh environments constrained by space.
Installation
ED3638T (Transmitter): This is a PoL (Power over Link) transmitter. Data and power can be delivered at
the same time through coaxial cable to turn on and communicate with ED3638R (Receiver) via BNC
interface.
ED3638R (Receiver): This is a PoL (Power over Link) Receiver. ED3638R (Receiver) can be powered
either by ED3638T (Transmitter) through coaxial cable or power supply. The Ethernet port supports
IEEE802.3at PoE/PSE for fulfilling PoE/PD application.
<Warning>
• Removes the device power before installation.
• Removes the device power before any I/O and DIP switch configuration.
• Do not connect ED3638T and ED3638R to the same power source. Devices may be damaged
due to power loop back through the PoL linked via coaxial cable.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Enable Installation
• Ensures all power sources are disconnected from ED3638T and ED3638R.
• Ensures ED3638T PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in On position (Up position).
• Sets ED3638T Type DIP switch to Perf (Performance, Up position) to acquire better Line Speed (but
poor noise immunity). Or sets Type DIP switch of ED3638T to Std (Standard, Down position) to
acquire standard Line Speed (but better noise immunity).
• Checks if ED3638R Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
• Connects one end of the coaxial cable to BNC interface of the ED3638T and the other end to BNC
interface of the ED3638R.
• Connects power source to ED3638T.
• Data and power can be delivered from ED3638T, and at the same time through coaxial cable to turn
on and communicate with ED3638R.
<Note> The equipment is designed for building installation and not intended to be connected to exposed
(outside plant) networks including campus environment or equivalent.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Disable Installation
For longer distance (e.g. over 1.4km) extension application, ED3638R may not be able to receive power
from ED3638T. A separate power may be applied on ED3638R.
• Ensures all power sources are disconnected from ED3638T and ED3638R.
• Ensures ED3638T PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in Off position (Down position).
• Sets ED3638T Type DIP switch to Perf (Performance, Up position) to acquire better Line Speed (but
poor noise immunity). Or sets Type DIP switch of ED3638T to Std (Standard, Down position) to
10/100Base-TX Hardened PoL/PoE Ethernet Extender over Coaxial Cable
acquire standard Line Speed (but better noise immunity).
• Connects power source to ED3638T.
• Checks if ED3638R Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
• Connects power source to ED3638R.
• Connects one end of the coaxial cable to BNC interface of the ED3638T and the other end to BNC
interface of the ED3638R.
• Data can be transmitted between ED3638T and ED3638R via coaxial cable.

Physical Description

The Port Status LEDs and Power Inputs
ED3638T
• DC Terminal Block Power Inputs: 2.5A @ 48VDC (Peak current 3.26A). There are two pairs of power
inputs can be used to power up this Ethernet Extender. Redundant power supplies function is
supported. You only need to have one power input connected to run the Ethernet Extender.
• DC JACK Power input: 2.5A @ 48VDC (Peak current 3.26A).
