One-Channel Hardened Ethernet Extender
Ports
The Hardened Ethernet Extender provides TX ports and one Ethernet Extender port. For the TX ports, it uses RJ-45 connector and auto
senses the speed of 10/100Mbps.For the Ethernet Extender port, it uses RJ-11 and Terminal Block connectors and auto senses the speed
of 1/3/5/10/15/20/25/30/40/50Mbps.
Ethernet Extender Mode Settings
Ethernet Extender mode settings are made very simple by means of a DIP (Dual Inline Package) switch on the top panel of the Hardened
Ethernet Extender.
DIP switch
There is one pin on the DIP switch for Ethernet Extender mode settings. Refer to the table below for more details.

Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Hardened Ethernet Extender.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or
electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:
The Surrounding Air temperature should be between -40 to 75 degrees Celsius.
The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards.
Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the equipment.
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
Field Wiring Terminal Markings: Use Copper Conductors Only, 60/75℃, wire range 12-24 AWG, torque value 7 lb-in.
DIN Rail Mounting
Fix the DIN rail attachment plate to the back panel of the Hardened Ethernet Extender.
Installation: Place the Hardened Ethernet Extender on the DIN rail from above using the slot. Push the front of the Hardened Ethernet
Extender toward the mounting surface until it audibly snaps into place.
Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the Hardened Ethernet Extender from the DIN rail.
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs or 48VDC DC Jack:
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs
There are two pairs of power inputs can be used to power up this device. You only need to have one power input connected to run the
Hardened Ethernet Extender.
Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the plug-able terminal block on the Hardened Ethernet Extender, and then plug it
into a standard DC outlet.
Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the Hardened Ethernet Extender.
48VDC DC Jack
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on the topside of the Hardened Ethernet Extender.
Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with the
appropriate AC voltage.
