10/100 4TX+1EX ETHERNET SELF-MANAGED SWITCH
WITH POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE+)
This manual serves the following
ComNet Model Numbers:
CLFE4+1SMSC
CLFE4+1SMSU
CLFE4+1SMSPOEC
CLFE4+1SMSPOEU
The ComNet CopperLine® CLFE4+1SMS[POE](C,U) is a five-port Ethernet switch
with uplink management functionality and provides 4 copper ports operating at
10/100Mbps and is designed to combine four electrical ports into a single electrical
Cat5, UTP or Coax CopperLine port that forwards this data to the next network device.
There is no programming required to use this product. The ComNet CLFE4+1SMS
comes pre-programmed, preventing network video flooding with DIP switch selection
of the fifth electrical port as uplink or as an unmanaged switch. Ports 1–4 of the
CLFE4+1SMSPOE can supply up to thirty (30) watts of Power over Ethernet (PoE) and
incorporate PoE+ features based on the IEEE 802.3at standard. It is “Plug-and-Play”.
Bi-color (Red/Green) LED indicators are provided for rapidly ascertaining equipment
operating status. Table 2 on Page 7 describes the LED indicators for each light on
the unit.
These units are interchangeable between stand-alone or card mount configurations,
or may be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet model DINBKT1 or DINBKT4
adaptor plate. See Figure A on Page 10 for mounting instructions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 - SET DATA RATE DIP SWITCHES
Locate the 10/100 data rate DIP switch on the unit.
Set the data rate according to bandwidth required. The default setting for the data rate DIP switch is 100Mbps.
NOTE: The data rate must be set the same on both the local and remote units.
2 - SET WIRE PAIR DIP SWITCHES (UTP MODELS ONLY, FOR COAX MODELS SKIP TO STEP 3)
Locate the wire pair DIP switch on the unit.
Set the pair according to number of twisted wire pairs used (1 or 4). The default setting for the wire pair
DIP switch is 4 pair.
NOTE: The number of pairs selected must be set the same on both the local and remote units.
3 - SET LOCAL/REMOTE DIP SWITCHES
Set the Local/Remote switch to Local (L) for Local (head end) devices or Remote (R) for Remote (field end) devices.
The default setting for this switch is Remote.
4 - SET MANAGED/UNMANAGED DIP SWITCHES
Set the Managed/Unmanaged switch to the “Managed” position. The default setting for this switch is Managed.
NOTE: In most cases, you will want to set the unit to “Managed” to prevent port flooding.
5 - CONNECT EXTENDED WIRING
Connect Extended Distance Port to field wiring.
For 1-pair mode, use the first
pair of pins (pins 1 and 2) of the
“Extended Ethernet” RJ- 45 port.
6 - CONNECT NETWORK WIRING
Using CAT5/5e, connect Local unit to network and Remote unit to camera.
7 - CONNECT POWER
Connect power to unit per the following table:

Distance figures are obtained using in-house testing mirroring installations. Factors such as coaxial/copper cable quality, the number of connectors/
splices in the cable run, the use of PoE, and environmental conditions encountered within the installation may af fect the actual transmission

ProblemSteps to Take
Indicating LEDs not lightingCheck that power is properly applied to the unit using the correct connector pair.
No CommunicationCheck Ethernet Link LEDs, Extended Link LEDs, All Connections, Local/Remote switch is set properly.
Verify that Local units are installed at the head end and that Remote units are installed in the field.
Verify that the Data Rate switches are set to the same data rate on both the Local and Remote units.
Bad VideoMake sure Data Rate and 1/4 Pair Switches are set properly, and the extended distance is within specifications (see Table
3 – Approximate Maximum Extended Distances).
Units not reaching estimated max
distances over COAX or UTP
Not all cameras visibleCheck that the Managed/Unmanaged DIP switch is set to “Managed.”
Check extended distance cable and connections. Try connection on a short cable to eliminate possibility of faulty cabling.
Check that the extended distance wire is connected to Extended Distance Port.
Verify that there is no additional equipment (e.g. surge protector) on the Extended Link. The cable should be continuous from
end to end, with no active components.

ATTACHING THE FERRITE CORE TO THE POWER CORD OF THE UNIT (Ferrite core not included, must be purchased separately)
When using v48VDC Power Supplies
Attaching the ferrite core to the power cord of the unit helps
prevent RF interference from radio signals.
1. Pull the fixing tab of the ferrite core to open it.
2. Make three loops around the core with the power cable of
the unit.
3. Attach the ferrite core to the unit power cord as shown and
press it until it clicks.
Recommended part is Wurth Part 742 711 32 S
(Not included). Equivalent parts may be substituted.
LOOPING THE POWER CABLE AROUND THE FERRITE CORE
Lift up to release the lock and open the core.
Make three loops around the core with the power cable.
Start winding 5 to 10 cm (2 to 3.9 in) away from the power
connection.
Close the lock. You may now operate the unit according to
instructions.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
These units are supplied as Standalone/Rack mounted module. Units
should be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of
temperature and humidity.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 power supply. Although
the units may be mounted inside a ComNet rack the PoE models cannot be
powered from the built-in rack PSU; they must be powered by an external
48-56VDC PSU.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment
is not compromised.
