Black Box LBPS310A-KIT Quick Start Manual

10/100Base-TX Hardened PoL/PoE Ethernet Extender, Black Box Part Number LBPS310A-KIT (includes one LBPS311A and one LBPS312A)
This quick start guide describes how to install and use the Hardened Ethernet Extender. This is the
Hardened Ethernet Extender of choice for harsh environments constrained by space.
Installation
Transmitter: This is a PoL (Power over Link) transmitter. Data and power can be delivered at the
same time through one pair of copper wire to turn on and communicate with a Receiver via an
RJ-11 phone jack or a 2-pin Terminal Block interface.
Receiver: This is a PoL (Power over Link) Receiver. The Receiver can be powered either by a
Transmitter through one pair of copper wire or power supply. The Ethernet port supports
IEEE802.3at PoE/PSE for PoE/PD applications.
<Warning>
•
Remove the device power before installation.
•
Remove the device power before any I/O and DIP switch configuration.
•
Do not connect the Transmitter and Receiver to the same power source. Power loops
back through the PoL linked via copper wire might damage the devices.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Enable Installation
•
Ensure all power sources are disconnected from the Transmitter and the Receiver.
•
Ensure Transmitter PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in On position (Up position).
•
Set Transmitter Type DIP switch to Per (Performance, Up position) for better Line Speed (but
poor noise immunity). Or set the Transmitter's DIP switch to Std (Standard, Down position) for
standard Line Speed (but better noise immunity).
•
Check if Receiver Mode is set to Rmt on the DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
•
Connect one end of the one pair copper wire to RJ-11 phone jack or 2-pin Terminal Block
interface of the Transmitter and the connect the other end to RJ-11 phone jack or 2-pin
Terminal Block interface of the Receiver.
•
Connect the power source to the Transmitter.
•
Data and power can be delivered from Transmitter, and at the same time through one pair
copper wire to turn on and communicate with Receiver.
<Note> The equipment is designed for building installation and not intended to be connected to
exposed (outside plant) networks including campus environments or equivalent.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Disable Installation
For longer distance (e.g. over 1.4 km) extension applications, the Receiver may not be able to
receive power from Transmitter. A separate power supply may be applied to the Receiver.
•
Ensure all power sources are disconnected from Transmitter and Receiver.
•
Ensure Transmitter PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in Off position (Down position).
•
Set Transmitter Type DIP switch to Per (Performance, Up position) for better Line Speed (but
poor noise immunity). Or set the Type DIP switch of Transmitter to Std (Standard, Down
position) for standard Line Speed (but better noise immunity).
•
Connect the power source to the Transmitter.
•
Check if Receiver Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
•
Connect the power source to the Receiver.
•
Connect one end of the one pair copper wire to an RJ-11 phone jack or the 2-pin Terminal
Block interface of the Transmitter and the other end to a RJ-11 phone jack or the 2-pin
Terminal Block interface of the Receiver.
•
Data can be transmitted between Transmitter and Receiver via copper wire.
