EtherWAN ED3538 User Manual

ED3538
This quick start guide describes how to install and use the Hardened Ethernet Extender over copper wires. 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 Receiver 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 (Standard, Down position) to acquire standard Line Speed
10/100Base-TX Hardened PoL/PoE Ethernet Extender over Copper Wires
(but better noise immunity).

Connects power source to ED3538T.

Checks if ED3538R Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).

Connects power source to ED3538R.

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.

Data can be transmitted between ED3538T and ED3538R via copper wire.

Physical Description

The Port Status LEDs and Power Inputs

ED3538T

DC Terminal Block Power Inputs: 2.5A @ 48VDC (Peak current 3.26A). There are two pairs of power inputs can be
used to power up this Ethernet Extender. Redundant power supplies function is supported. You only need to have
one power input connected to run the Ethernet Extender.

DC JACK Power input: 2.5A @ 48VDC (Peak current 3.26A).
