LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PC’s, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device. Operating in pairs, a Model 2158/L (local) located at one end of the LAN extension and a Model 2158/R (remote) at the other end, these units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2- wire voice-grade twisted-pair link.

4. Secure the front card using the captive fasteners. Note The Model 1001R14 chassis supports “hot swapping” of cards, so it is not necessary to power down the rack when you install or remove a Model 2158 rack card. CopperLink RJ-45 interface CopperLink...
Note The Model 2158 units work in pairs. One of the units must be a Model 2158/L (Local), and the other unit must be a Model 2158/ R (Remote). The link is always initiated by the 2158/R. As long as the 2158/L is powered on, the 2158/R can establish a link by being powered on or by having its power reset.

Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub The Model 2158 10/100Base-T interface is configured as DTE (Data Ter- minal Equipment), just like a 10/100Base-T network interface card in a PC. Therefore, it “expects” to connect to a 10/100Base-T Hub using a...
3.5 CONNECTING POWER 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 2158. No configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B on page 15 for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
4.2 FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS The Model 2158 features five front panel LEDs that monitor power, the Ethernet signals, and the CopperLink connection. Figure 9 (standalone version) and Figure 10 on page 13 (rack card version) show the front panel location of each LED.
