    Ethernet LANs, remote PC’s, or any other network enabled 10/ 100Base-T device. Operating in pairs, a Model 2168/L (local) located at one end of the LAN extension and a Model 2168/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.
  • Page 7 MAC addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLink that are meant for the remote peered LAN. Figure 1. Ethernet Extender allows copper instead of fiber for vertical Ethernet spans Multi-rate Ethernet Extenders are ideal for bridging Ethernet spans inside buildings that are beyond the 328-foot (100-meter) distance limit of Ethernet. As shown in Figure 1, connecting workgroups located on different floors in a building no longer requires expensive switches or the installation of low capacitance cable.

    Note The Model 2168 units work in pairs. One of the units must be a Model 2168/L (Local), and the other unit must be a Model 2168/ R (Remote). It does not matter which end is the 2168/L and which is the 2168/R.

    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 2168. No configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
  • Page 13 The Model 2168 does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon as it is plugged in.

  • Page 14: Configuration

    4.0 CONFIGURATION The Model 2168 has four 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 2168 (see Figure 9).
