PSTN. It is intended only for connection to WARNING customer premise equipment. When the 2172R is mounted, it shall be secured in such a way as to withstand a vertical shear force of 50N or 14 pounds.
Local unit located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2172R or 2172 is configured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2172R is configured as a L or R via the switch on the rear panel.
CopperLINK link that are meant for the remote peered LAN. Figure 1. Typical application The pair of 2172R and 2172 models work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to-point application.
Note The Model 2172R units work in pairs. One of the units must be configured as a (L) Local unit, and the other unit must be config- ured as a (R) Remote unit. It does not matter which end is the L and which is the R.

19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through signal equalization equipment are not acceptable. 2. The Model 2172R is equipped with either an RJ-45 or a terminal block interface jack that can be used on the CopperLINK interface. These CopperLINK interfaces are a two-wire interface.
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 2172R. No configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
4.0 CONFIGURATION The Model 2172R has eight DIP switches for configuring the unit for a wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and explains the different configurations. 4.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE DIP SWITCHES Using a small flat-tip screwdriver, remove the protective cover located on the underside of the Model 2172R (see Figure 6).

DIP switch orientation 4.2 CONFIGURING DIP SWITCH S2 DIP switch S2 is where you configure the CopperLINK line rate, symmet- ric or asymmetric, Ethernet, and Ethernet Shutdown.
Switch S2-1: Symmetric/Asymmetric Operation Use switch S2-1 to configure the unit for symmetric or asymmetric opera- tion.. Table 2: Ethernet Auto Sense Selection Chart S2-1 Setting Symmetric Operation Asymmetric Operation Switches S2-2 and S2-3: Data Rate Use switches S2-1, S2-2 and S2-3 to configure the CopperLINK line rates.
Switch S2-7: Ethernet Shutdown Use switch S2-7 to enable or disable Ethernet Shutdown. When Ethernet Shutdown is enabled, the 2172R will disable the Ethernet interface when there is no CopperLINK link detected. When Ethernet Shutdown is dis- abled, the Ethernet interface will always be enabled.
5.2 FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS The Model 2172R features three front panel LEDs that monitor power, the Ethernet signals, and the CopperLINK connection. Figure 8 shows the front panel location of each LED. Table 8 on page 16 describes the LED functions.
