ED3538

Quick Start Guide

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

ED3538T (Transmitter): This is a PoL (Power over Link) transmitter. Data and power
can be delivered at the same time through one pair copper wire to turn on and
communicate with ED3538R (Receiver) via RJ-11 phone jack or 2-pin Terminal Block
interface.
ED3538R (Receiver): This is a PoL (Power over Link) Receiver. ED3538R (Receiver)
can be powered either by ED3538T (Transmitter) through one pair copper wire or power
supply. The Ethernet port supports IEEE802.3at PoE/PSE for fulfilling PoE/PD
application.
<Warning>

Removes the device power before installation.

Removes the device power before any I/O and DIP switch configuration.

Do not connect ED3538T and ED3538R to the same power source. Devices
may be damaged due to power loop back through the PoL linked via copper
wire.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Enable Installation

Ensures all power sources are disconnected from ED3538T and ED3538R.

Ensures ED3538T PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in On position (Up position).

Sets ED3538T Type DIP switch to Perf (Performance, Up position) to acquire better
Line Speed (but poor noise immunity). Or sets Type DIP switch of ED3538T to Std
(Standard, Down position) to acquire standard Line Speed (but better noise
immunity).

Checks if ED3538R Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).

Connects one end of the one pair copper wire to RJ-11 phone jack or 2-pin
Terminal Block interface of the ED3538T and the other end to RJ-11 phone jack or
2-pin Terminal Block interface of the ED3538R.

Connects power source to ED3538T.

Data and power can be delivered from ED3538T, and at the same time through one
pair copper wire to turn on and communicate with ED3538R.
<Note> The equipment is designed for building installation and not intended to be
connected to exposed (outside plant) networks including campus environment or
equivalent.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Disable Installation

For longer distance (e.g. over 1.4km) extension application, ED3538R may not be
able to receive power from ED3538T. A separate power may be applied on
ED3538R.

Ensures all power sources are disconnected from ED3538T and ED3538R.

Ensures ED3538T PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in Off position (Down
position).

Sets ED3538T Type DIP switch to Perf (Performance, Up position) to acquire better
Line Speed (but poor noise immunity). Or sets Type DIP switch of ED3538T to Std
