Self-diagnostic Test Procedure
• Two Hardened Ethernet Extenders are connected in pairs by BNC
connectors over coaxial cable.
• One Hardened Ethernet Extender is configured as local unit located at
local site of Ethernet extension by setting mode switch at top panel of this
Hardened Ethernet Extender to Loc (local mode).
• The other Hardened Ethernet Extender is configured as remote unit
located at remote site of Ethernet extension by setting mode switch at top
panel of this Hardened Ethernet Extender to Rmt (remote mode).
• Connect supplied power supplies to Terminal Block or DC Jack power
input on top panel of these two Hardened Ethernet Extenders to power
on these two Hardened Ethernet Extenders.
• LED 5 on front panel of these two Hardened Ethernet Extenders might
light on in amber or green color if these two Hardened Ethernet
Extenders are connected in pairs by BNC connectors over a short coaxial
cable (less than 200 meters). This means that these two Hardened

Ethernet Extenders could operate in normal condition since they finally
negotiate a best performance for symmetrical transmission.
Assembly, Startup, and Dismantling
• Assembly: Place the Hardened Ethernet Extender on the DIN rail from
above using the slot. Push the front of the Hardened Ethernet Extender
toward the mounting surface until it audibly snaps into place.
• Startup: Connect the supply voltage to start up the Hardened Ethernet
Extender via the terminal block (or DC JACK).
• Dismantling: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the Hardened
Ethernet Extender from the DIN rail.

One-Channel Hardened Ethernet Extender
Ports
The Hardened Ethernet Extender provides one TX port and one Ethernet
Extender port.
For the TX port, it uses M12 4Pin D-type female connector and auto senses
the speed of 10/100Mbps.
For the Ethernet Extender port, it uses BNC connector and auto senses the
speed of 1/5/10/20/30/40/50/60/70/75Mbps.
Ethernet Extender Mode Settings
Ethernet Extender mode settings are made very simple by means of a DIP
(Dual Inline Package) switch on the top panel of the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.

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 75 degrees Celsius.
• The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
• Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed 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 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 Harden ed Ethernet Extender on the DIN rail from
above using the slot. Push the front of the Hardened Ethernet Extender
toward the mounting surface until it audibly snaps into place.
• Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the Hardened
Ethernet Extender from the DIN rail.

Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on the topside
of the Hardened Ethernet Extender.
Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and attach the plug into
a standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs
There are two pairs of power inputs can be used to power up this device. You
only need to have one power input connected to run the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.
Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the plug-able terminal 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.
