QUICK START
GUIDE

Document Number: EIR-EXTEND-C_3117qsg

Recommended Accessories

+ AC Power Adapter (for EIRx Series),
Power Jack, 12VDC, 36W, US Plug

Model# PS12VDC3P (sold separately)

Before you begin, be
sure you have the following:

Model EIR-EXTEND-C

Ethernet Coaxial Extender

+ Ethernet Coaxial Extender (requires two,

each sold separately)

+ BNC to F-Type Adapter (included)

+ 12-48 VDC, 6.8W Power Supply (sold

separately)

Ports

5

Model EIR-E XTEND -C provides one Ethernet por t over
existing coaxial cable. The extender has two ports, a
RJ-45 10/100Base TX por t and the Ethernet extender
port. Existing coaxial cable can be used. If coaxial cable
requires termination, use BNC or F-connectors. F st yle
will require a BNC to F-Type adapter. When BNC extender
ports on the units are connected, the Lnk LED should be lit.

1. The extender is DIN rail mountable and can be located
in environments with wide temperatures ranging from

-40 to 75°C. Relative humidity should be between 5% to
95%, non-condensing.

2. Mount the extender on standard DIN rail by hooking the
top rear of the extender on to the top edge of the DIN
rail. As the unit is pressed into the DIN rail, the spring­loaded bottom tab should snap on, securing the bottom.
To remove the extender from DIN rail, use a small

athead screw driver, pull down on the spring loaded

tab on the bottom of the extender while pulling bottom
outward.

3. Provide DC power to the unit between 12 – 48 Volts.
While only one power source is required to power up
the Ethernet Extender, using two sources provides
redundancy for mission critical applications. The
removable terminal block accepts 14 – 24 AWG wire.
Use copper conductors only, 60/75°C, 14-24 AWG
torque value 4.5 lb-in.

4. Be sure polarity matches the diagram next to the terminal
block. Terminals labeled Power are positive; GND is
negative. An optional power port labeled Power1 is
available with use of 12VDC AC to DC power adapter
(Model# PS12VDC3P, sold separately).

5. Set the DIP switch located on the top of the Ethernet
extender to Loc (Local) or Rmt (Remote). Ethernet
extenders work in pairs and must have one unit set as Loc,
the other as Rmt.

6. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the front
of Ethernet extender.

7. Connect the coaxial cable to the BNC por t on the front of
the Ethernet extender. Opposite end connects with paired
Ethernet extender located elsewhere. Coaxial cable must
be terminated with male BNC or F connectors. A BNC to
F-Type adapter required for F style connector (included).

The LED indicators give you instant feedback on status of
the Ethernet extender. Both port speeds are auto sensed.

DIP Switch Settings

4

Ethernet extender mode settings are made ver y simple
by means of a switch at the top of the Ethernet extender.

One device must be set to Local (Loc) and the other
to Remote (Rmt) before devices are connected. The

factory setting is Local (Loc).

It makes no difference which unit is designated local and
remote as long as they are not both set the same.
