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.

Installation

This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Hardened
Ethernet Extender.

Selecting a Site for the Equipment

As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not
be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic
interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following
requirements:

∞ The Surrounding Air temperature should be between -40 to +167 degrees Fahrenheit

(-40 to +75 degrees Celsius).

∞ The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
∞ Surrounding el ectrical devices should not exc eed the electromagnetic field ( RFC)

standards.

∞ Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the

ventilation holes of the equipment.

∞ The power outlet should be within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the product.

DIN Rail Mounting

Fix the DIN rail attachment plate to the back panel of the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.

Installation: Place the Hardened Ethernet Extender on the DIN rail from
above using t he slot. Pus h the fro nt of the H ardened Eth ernet Extender
toward th e mo unting sur face until it au dibly snaps into place.

Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the Hardened Ethernet
Extender from the DIN rail.

Connecting to Power

Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs or 48-VDC DC Jack:

Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs

Two pairs of power inputs ca n be used to power up t his devic e. You only
need to have one power input connected to run the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.

Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the pluggable t erminal block on the Hardened
Ethernet Extender, and then plug it into a standard DC outlet.

Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.

48VDC DC Jack

Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on the top side of
the Hardened Ethernet Extender.

Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and a ttach th e plug to a
standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
