nel.
• Do not open the device when the power cord is con-
nected. For systems without a power switch and without
xternal power adapter, line voltages are present
an e
within the device when the power cord is connected.
• For devices with an external power adapter, the power
adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source. The
mains outlet that is utilized to power the device shall be
within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily
accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in compliance with local regulatory requirements.
• For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable
used meets all applicable standards for the country in
which it is to be installed.
• For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor power
plugs (L1, L2 & GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/Protective
Ground), the wall outlet (or socket) must have an earth
ground.
About This Guide
• For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnecting
cables are rated for proper voltage, current, anticipated
temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
• WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have hazard-
ous voltages present regardless of whether the device is
wered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to interfaces such as
po
telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL, T1, E1, ISDN,
Voice, etc. These are known as “hazardous network voltages” and to avoid electric shock use caution when
orking near these ports. When disconnecting cables for
w
these ports, detach the far end connection first.
• Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect
cables during periods of lightning activity.
In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/
96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product
from other waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE collection
system in your country for recycling.
This device contains no user serviceable parts. This
device can only be repaired by qualified service personnel.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and
impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or
ermittent failures. Do the following to prevent ESD:
int
• Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing
and replacing cards.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes
good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of
the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages
to ground.
• To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist
strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is
available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the

2.2 DESCRIPTION
BlackBox LB200A-R4 Ethernet extenders provide high-speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet
LANs, remote PCs, or any other network-enabled 10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, one LB200A-R4 is configured as the (L) Local unit located at one end of the LAN extension and the other LB200A-R4 is configured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The LB200A-R4 is
configured as an L or R via the switch on the bottom of the unit. These units can automatically forward LAN
broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-wire voice-grade twisted-pair or BNC link. The data is
passed transparently (unmodified) through the LB200A-R4. The LB200A-R4s automatically add and delete
MAC addresses, only passing packets across the Line link that are meant for the remote peered LAN.
The pair of LB200A-R4 models work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs using twisted pair (2-wire) or Cat5+. Figure 1 shows typical applications.

3.3 CONNECTING THE LINE INTERFACE FOR LB200A-R4
1. To function properly, the two LB200A-R4s must be connected together using twisted-pair, uncondi-
tioned, dry, metal wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through
signal equalization equipment are not acceptable.
2. The LB200A-R4 is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack (Fi
gure 3)
The RJ-45 connector on the LB200A-R4’s twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a twow
ire interface. The signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 3.

section describes switch locations and explains the different configurations.
4.2 ACCESSING THE DIP SWITCHES
1. Using a small flat-tip screwdriver, remove the protective cover located on the underside of the LB200A-
R4 (see
Figure 5).
Figure 5. Removing protective cover

able protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the device does cause interference to radio or televi
sion reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the
receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC out
let (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).
