SAFETY WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY
• This device contains no user serviceable parts. This device can only be repaired by qualified service personnel.
WARNING
• Do not open the device when the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch and without an external power adapter, line voltages are present 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.
• 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 hazard­ous voltages present regardless of whether the device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to interfaces such as 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 working near these ports. When disconnecting cables for these ports, detach the far end connection first.
• Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

WARNING
WARNING
Safety When Working With Electricity
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.
This device is NOT intended nor approved for connection to the PSTN. It is intended only for connection to customer premise equipment.
WARNING
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 intermittent failures. Do the following to pre­vent ESD:
• 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 chas­sis.

1.2 DESCRIPTION
The Black Box 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 Ethernet Extender is configured as the (L) Local unit located at one end of th e L A N e xte ns ion an d t he other Ethernet Extend er i s co nfi gure d a s the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Ethernet Extender is configured as a L or R via the switch on the bottom of the unit. These units can automatically forward LAN broad casts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-wire voice-grade twisted-pair or BNC link. The data is passed transparently (unmodified) through the Ethernet Extenders. The Ethernet Extenders automatically add and delete MAC addresses, only passing pack­ets across the line link that are meant for the remote peered LAN.

CAUTION
The Ethernet Extender supports communication between two peer Ethernet LAN sites over a distance of up to 10,000 ft (3 km) over 24 AWG (0.5 Cat5+, or 75-ohm BNC.
NOTE: Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on the environment and type/gauge of wire used.
NOTE: The Ethernet Extender units work in pairs. One of the units must be configured as a (L) Local unit, and the other unit must be configured as a (R) Remote unit.

Connecting the Line Interface for LB411A or LB410A
To function properly, the two Ethernet Extenders must be connected together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through signal equalization equipment are not acceptable.
The Ethernet Extender is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack (Figure 3.) or terminal block (Figure 4.) that can be used on the line interface. The line interface is a two-wire interface. Observe the sign al/pin relat ionsh ips on the Ether net Exten der's line interfac e jack.
The RJ-45 conne ctor on the Ethernet Extende r's twi sted p air interfac e is p olarity inse n­sitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 3..
