10/100Base-TX Hardened PoL/ PoE Ethernet Extender
1
Quick Start Guide
This quick start guide describes how to install and use the Hardened
Ethernet Extender. This is the Hardened Ethernet Extender of choice for
harsh environments constrained by space.
Installation
Transmitter: This is a PoL (Power over Link) transmitter. Data and power can be
delivered at the same time through one pair copper wire to turn on and communicate with
a Receiver via an RJ-11 phone jack or a 2-pin Terminal Block interface.
Receiver: This is a PoL (Power over Link) Receiver. The Receiver can be powered either
by a Transmitter through one pair copper wire or power supply. The Ethernet port
supports IEEE802.3at PoE/PSE for fulfilling PoE/PD application.
<Warning>
∞ Remove the device power before installation.
∞ Remove the device power before any I/O and DIP switch configuration.
∞ Do not connect the Transm itter and the Receiv er to the same power source.
Power loops back through the PoL linked via copper wire may damage devices.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Enable Installation
∞ Ensure all power sources are disconnected from Transmitter and Receiver.
∞ Ensure that th e Trans m itter PoL ( Power ov er Li nk ) DIP s witch is in On position (Up
position).
∞ Set the Transmitter Type DIP switch to Per (Performance, Up position) for better Line
Speed (but poor n oise immunity ). Or set t he Transmitter ’s Type DIP sw itch to St d
(Standard, Down position) for standard Line Speed (but better noise immunity).
∞ Check if Receiver Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
∞ Connect one end of th e on e pa ir copper wire to R J- 11 p hone jack or 2- pin T erminal
Block interface of the Trans mitter and the other end to RJ-11 phone jack or 2-pin
Terminal Block interface of the Receiver.
∞ Connect a power source to Transmitter.
∞ Data and power can be de livered from Tr ansmitter, and at the same time thr ough
one pair of copper wire to turn on and communicate with Receiver.
<Note> The equipment is designed for building installation and not intended to be
connected to exposed (outside plant) networks, including campus environment or
equivalent.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Disable Installation
∞ For longer distance (e.g. over 1.4k m) extens ion appl ications, t he Rece iver ma y not
be able to receive power from the Tr ansmitter. A separate power supply may be
used on the Receiver.
∞ Ensure all power sources are disconnected from the Transmitter and the Receiver.
∞ Ensure that the Transmitter PoL (Po wer over Link) DIP switch is in Off position
(Down position).
∞ Set the Transmitter Type DIP switch to Per (Performance, Up position) for better Line
Speed (but poor no ise immunity). O r set the Type DI P switch o f Trans mitter t o Std
(Standard, Down position) for standard Line Speed (but better noise immunity).
∞ Connect the power source to Transmitter.
∞ Check if the Receiver Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
∞ Connect the power source to the Receiver.
