1.6 GROUND TERMINAL
The marked lug or terminal should be connected to the building protec­tive earth bus. The function of protective earth does not serve the pur­pose of providing protection against electrical shock, but instead enhances surge suppression on the lines for installations where suitable bonding facilities exist. The connector type is M3 machine screw.
2. APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW
The Black Box LB52xA-KIT sim plifie s and provid es cos t eff ectiv e network ex tension by utilizing pre-existing twisted pair infrastructure. This enables service providers to offer broadband or data backhaul services to businesses, governments and various institu­tions over existing last-mile, copper infrastructure. Today, more than ever, operator s are finding the bu siness case for levera gin g th eir e xi sti ng c op per n etw o rks to be highly attractive from an ROI and initial investment perspective over fiber roll-outs.
2.1 TYPICAL APPLICATION
The Black Box Exte nders are the perfect fit f or s im ple , c ost -effective high speed Ether­net Extension. They allow customers to take advantage of the existing copper infra­structure to connect remote LANs across distances and at speeds previously unthought-of. The auto-rate feature ensures the highest speed is achieved on each connection, and the plug and play operation ensures they are up and running in sec onds. Add in the 4 x auto-sensing full/half duplex 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports with the integrated crossover switch to make setup even easier. The value of these Ether net Extenders can’t be beat!
• Auto-Rate Feature—The advanced auto-rate algorithm automatically deter­mines the best possible rate for each connection and sets up each extender without any need for user interface.
• Plug and Play—Just unpack the extenders, plug them into each end of the extension, power them up, and they are up and running. It doesn’t get any eas ier!
• High Speed/Long Reach—These Ethernet Extenders provide the best combi- nation of speed and distance seen anywhere in the industry!

4.2.2 DHCP server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that allows network administrators to manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. Each machine that can connect to the Internet requires a unique IP address. When an organization sets up the users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine.
Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If comput­ers move t o another lo cation in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network. The embedded DHCP server assigns network configuration information to 253 users (max) accessing the Internet in the same time. For e xa mple, if the LAN IP addre ss is 1 92. 168 .0.1 , th e IP range of the LAN is 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
To set up the DHCP Server for the LB52xA-KIT:
1. Click on Basic from the main menu, set up the Operation Mode and Manage- ment port, then click Next to reac h the DHCP Server page.
2. The DHCP server assigns the IP fro m the Start IP Address to t he End IP Address. The legal IP address range is from 0 to 255, but 0 is reserved as the network name and 255 is reserved for broadcast. This implies that the legal IP address range is from 1 to 254. That means you cannot assign an IP greater than 254 or less than 1.
3. A Lease Time of 72 hours indicates that the DHCP server will reassign IP infor­mation every 72 hours, whi ch is the defaul t value for the LB52xA-KIT. You can set up the Lease Time for a range from 1 to 720 hours according to your application.
4. If you assign a fixed IP address to a de vice whi le using DHCP, you must enter the device's MAC address in the Table of Fixed DHCP Host Entries.
