  • Page 8: Description

    2.2 DESCRIPTION The Patton Electronics CopperLink/L and CopperLink/R Ethernet Extenders provide high-speed LAN connections between peered Ether- net LANs, remote PCs, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device. Operating in pairs, a CopperLink/L (local) located at one end of the LAN extension and a CopperLink/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 9: Installation

    3.0 INSTALLATION Because the CopperLink Ethernet Extender requires no configuration, it can be installed quickly. Note If asymmetric transmission or line rates other than 12.5 Mbps are required , refer to section 4.0, “Configuration” on page 16. 3.1 UNIT INSTALLATION Do the following: 1.
  • Page 10: Grounding The Copperlink Ethernet Extender

    3.2 GROUNDING THE COPPERLINK ETHERNET EXTENDER Before installing the CopperLink Ethernet Extender, it is important to establish a good grounding connection first. 1. Assemble a ground wire using #10 AWG wire with green-and-yel- low-colored insulation and two ring terminals. Make the wire long enough to reach one of the following earth ground sources: —...
  • Page 11 The RJ-45 connector on the CopperLink Ethernet Extender's twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire inter- face. The signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 3. 1 (no connection) 2 (no connection) 3 (no connection) 4 (2-Wire RING) 5 (2-Wire TIP) 6 (no connection) 7 (no connection)
  • Page 12: Using A Ferrite Clamp To Connect The Line Interface

    Using a Ferrite Clamp to Connect the Line Interface • The ferrite clamp that is shipped with the unit must be used as detailed in the following instructions in order to meet EMC requirements. WARNING Connecting the ferrite clamp to the RJ-45 port. To connect the ferrite clamp to the RJ-45 port: 1.
  • Page 13: Connecting The Ferrite Clamp To The Terminal Block

    Connecting the ferrite clamp to the terminal block. To connect the ferrite clamp to the terminal block: 1. Place the cable inside the ferrite clamp, leaving about 1-2 inches of cable between the unit and clamp. 2. Wrap the cable tightly around the clamp two times and secure the wire firmly in the clamp channel.
